Another vote for Holmes With A View.  They have single and double units.  One of the single units (#5) has the most beautiful view.  This is a beautiful place.  Make your reservations early.  Gorgeous countryside.  You won't find a better view.  All of the units have kitchens.  The owners stock them with coffee, teas, sweet rolls, popcorn, and utensils/plates/cups.

We like to drive the back roads and I forgot how good The Amish Door Restaurant is as well.  We also stop at the thrift shop every time we go.  I have found some great bargains.

We love to go to the Amish ran "bent and dents'.  You have to watch the dates on things but we have picked up some great bargains on Keurig coffee and the like.

If you sew or quilt there is a fabric and quilt shop in Charm but if you are looking for more to do in that small village there isn't much for sure.

Heini's cheese is a great place to go as they have samples. You can also see them make cheese.  If you find Troyers Market it's pretty neat, too but beware of getting out of there.  It's on a hill at a busy intersection and it's a free for all to get out. It's do-able but I think they need a stop light there!
