Location
Oak Bend Cottage is located in the heart of a rural Amish community. The people are very friendly and they look out for each other if there is a need. You will feel like that the time has turned back 75 years in the neighborhood. In the morning you will see children walking to school with their lunch boxes swing as they chatter and then they return in the same manner in the afternoon. The Amish school is located approximately a quarter miles across the field.
