Hi Diana,
First of all, thanks so much for your kind words about my writing. People who sit behind computer screens all day love to get positive feedback.
Secondly, the B&B I stay at while visiting Ohio’s Amish Country is Simple Pleasures, on Rt. 62 in Winesburg, Ohio. It is owned by a former Menonnite and her hubby, but it’s run “English.” However, a lovely Old Order Amish family lives on the adjacent farm, and they have opened up their cottage for a non-electric Amish experience. The cottage accomodates up to 4 people, and guests enjoy breakfast at the Simple Pleasures B&B, a short walk (or drive) up the lane. I haven’t had a chance to experience the cottage yet since it’s new, but it sounds like best-of-both-worlds to me. here is the website for the B&B, and she also handles reservations for the Coblentz family.

Blessings to you, Diana, and I hope you’re able to come visit us up north. Mary Ellis

Hi Mary,
I just want you to know that I loved your two books on the Miller family, and I just finished “Never Far From Home”. You are an excellant Amish author. I’m looking forward to your next book when it comes out. You have me interested what bed and breakfast you go to in Ohio Amish country that you enjoy so much, and is it Amish run? I would love to make a trip up there and stay in an Amish bed and breakfast rather than an hotel. My favorite places to go are in Amish countries across the country. But I grew up in Ohio and now live in MIssissippi, but am longing for a visit to my home state.
Blessings! Diana Lancaster
