Indiana isn't exactly thought of as some kind of ultimate vacation destination, but maybe it should be. After all, running off to the beach isn't everyone's ideal, and many times, lots of folks crave something a bit different than your average getaway. Why not consider - especially if you're from a big city - a relaxing stay away from it all on a working farm in the Midwest? Okay, hear us out - staying on a farm doesn't necessarily sound luxurious - but in this case, we're willing to make an exception. This is one of the most unique places to stay in Indiana, and we can't get enough of it! Come see why Heritage Farm needs to be on your bucket list:
Welcome to Heritage Farms, a legitimate, working alpaca farm where you can spend the night!
It's the perfect getaway for anyone who craves something a little different - a little off the beaten path. Sure, you could stay somewhere in Indy in the heart of the city, or you can go to the beach somewhere in Florida...
...or you could hang out with a herd of adorable alpacas in beautiful, quiet, rural Indiana.
Here, you'll get to participate in farm life (if you want to) by helping tend the alpacas and collect eggs in the mornings. You can do all sorts of things here, now that we think about it - more than just farm chores (which are a lot more fun in this case than you might expect).
Enjoy a quiet stroll by the creek. Take some me-time and enjoy the peace and quiet.
If you prefer a little more adventure (or a blend of adventure and low-key relaxation - why not?), you're in luck - there's an epic zipline on which you can feel what it would be like to fly through the woods.
You'll make other critter friends than just alpacas - there are barn cats, a horse, and a beautiful dog on the grounds, too, all of whom are friendly and eager to befriend you.
You can choose your own adventure, with options in which you can stay in a gorgeous, three-bedroom guest house, an old 1850s log cabin, or even a treehouse tent! If you prefer to rough it even more, you can also camp on the grounds, so be sure to check out the official website to get all of your options.
It's not often you hear someone recommend a literal farm for a vacation, but here we are.
But can you blame us? Heritage Farm has everything we could ever hope for in an escape from the real world: quiet, relaxing fun combined with just enough thrills to make it epic. We recommend a longer stay than just one night...
...after all, this is one Indiana getaway destination we don't think you'll ever want to leave.
For all of your stay options, as well as information about the farm, holding events on the farm, the farm shop, and so much more, be sure to visit the official Heritage Farms website, as well as its official Facebook page.
