Blog @ Homespun Country Inn

Let us pamper you with our 2008 winter rates of $65 per night. Our historic Inn offers a comfortable retreat from your daily schedule.  Enjoy our Homespun Hospitality and let us help you plan your stay in Northern Indiana’s Amish Country.   We can arrange a dinner with an amish family in their home during your visit with us………ask Dianne for details. 

Our non-smoking guest rooms feature private baths, cable TV and a full breakfast by candlelight in the dining room each morning.  We are located a brisk one block walk to Nappanee’s downtown square.  Be Our Guest………we look forward to hearing from you.

We are so diligent at the Inn to recycle bottles, cans, newspapers, use paper bags instead of plastics, sprays instead of airosoles……. but it never occured to us to help the environment in terms of saving energy with light bulbs. You know the kind that uses less wattage, lasts for years and years and years, but cost more that the usual bulbs. I have resisted because of “ambience” that I like to have with lighting at the Inn and the many “dimmer switches” we have throughout the house ( which are not recommended for these more efficient light bulbs.)   So I had continued to use “regular” bulbs.

However,  as of this writing, over the last month, actually since the New Year, we have changed over 75% of our lighting to the soft white efficient light bulbs. I feel good about this…….really. The lights here at the Inn that we have switched to these bulbs take a little longer to fully illuminate, but I am glad we made this choice. Makes me feel like we are really greening up, as they say.

We hope that our next utility bill will give us just a little more “green” in our pockets, too!!
