Carlisle Inn
Whole place is excellent. Didn’t realize it is Amish-owned and themed, very interesting. Super clean, great staff, enjoyed the pool. Room spotless, comfy bed. Adjacent to the Legacy Trail for biking or walking. Terrific and very popular Amish bakery right next door. 10/10, zero to complain about
