Tucked among the rolling backroads of Northern Indiana lies a quiet escape where time slows down and life takes on a softer rhythm. A weekend trip to Indiana is the perfect retreat for couples craving meaningful time together, simple pleasures, and countryside charm. From handcrafted treasures to homemade breakfasts and peaceful sunsets, this itinerary captures the best of a two-night getaway designed with connection in mind.

Friday Afternoon: Arrival & Settling In

Arrive in Bremen by mid-afternoon and check into Scottish Bed & Breakfast, a serene country inn that feels like a world away from everyday life. Nestled on two peaceful acres, the B&B offers romantic king suites with private patios, whirlpool tubs, and fireplaces, ideal for winding down after a day on the road. Greet your hosts, drop your bags, and breathe in the quiet.

After a short rest, enjoy a stroll around the property. Depending on the season, you might find the garden in bloom, the hammock inviting, or the indoor heated pool open and waiting. For dinner, head to nearby Opie’s Deli in Plymouth, a short 15-minute drive, for a laid-back bite in a warm and rustic setting. Afterward, return to the B&B for a glass of wine on the patio or a quiet soak before calling it a night.

Saturday Morning: Amish Culture and Countryside Beauty

Wake up slowly to the aroma of a gourmet breakfast prepared fresh at the Scottish B&B. Eggs from local Amish farms, thick-cut bacon, and homemade pastries await in the dining room, or opt for breakfast in your room if you’re in no rush to leave your cozy suite.

Midmorning, drive out to Nappanee, about 20 minutes away, and spend the morning at Coppes Commons. Once a historic cabinet factory, it’s now home to artisan shops, a vintage soda fountain, a hand-dipped chocolate counter, and locally made goods. Grab a coffee from Main Street Roasters, browse handcrafted wares, and take your time.

Next, head to The Barns at Nappanee for a walk through Amish history. If your weekend coincides with a Round Barn Theatre show, grab matinee tickets and enjoy a live performance in a 1911 Amish barn. Otherwise, explore the grounds, take a guided tour of the farmstead, or enjoy a horse-drawn buggy ride through the property.

Lunch is easy and casual; stop by Rocket Science Ice Cream inside Coppes Commons for a panini and a scoop of ice cream frozen right before your eyes with liquid nitrogen. It’s fun, fresh, and delicious.

Saturday Afternoon: Scenic Drive & Small-Town Discoveries

After lunch, take a slow country drive through the winding roads between Wakarusa, Middlebury, and Shipshewana. This is where Amish Country shines. You’ll pass black buggies, wide fields, tidy gardens, roadside produce stands, and the occasional hand-painted sign advertising quilts, eggs, or handmade furniture. Pull over when something catches your eye; it often will.

Make a stop in Shipshewana to browse a few of the town’s signature shops. Yoder’s Meat & Cheese, Blue Gate Bakery, or Davis Mercantile offer everything from locally cured meats to antiques and cozy gifts. If time allows, wander the surrounding blocks or stop for a slice of pie at Blue Gate Restaurant before making your way back to Bremen.

Return to the B&B for a little downtime. Take a dip in the pool (seasonal), curl up with a book, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. For dinner, make a reservation at Lambert’s in Wakarusa or head back to Plymouth’s historic downtown for a romantic meal at Brass Rail Bar & Grill or Christos.

Sunday Morning: Peaceful Farewell

Sunday mornings at Scottish Bed & Breakfast are the kind you wish you could bottle up and bring home. Enjoy another thoughtfully prepared breakfast, then take a walk along the lawn or sip coffee in the gazebo as the morning fog lifts off the surrounding fields.

Before heading out, take a few moments to relax in the game room or chat with your hosts about the local history and culture. If you’re not in a rush, swing through the Potato Creek State Park just 15 minutes away and enjoy a short hike or lakeside view. It’s the perfect punctuation to a peaceful weekend.
