October vacation ideas?

We are heading to Pennsylvania for a week or so in October and would like some help deciding where to go in the southern or central part of the state.



Specifically looking for a clean hotel/motel far enough away from shopping malls and overwhelming touristy areas for peace and quiet but close enough to visit them if we want.



Does anyone have any ideas?



Thanks

The Adams County area in south central PA is gorgeous at that time of year - mountains, rolling farmland and qualint little historic towns, Gettysburg being the most famous and popular of them. Plus, Adams County is known for it%26#39;s apples, so farm markets %26amp; harvest festivals abound. Since you don%26#39;t want to stay in a touristy area, you might consider Fairfield, Orrtanna, New Oxford or Hanover - all within close proximity to Gettysburg (anyone traveling to this area of PA should make a point of visiting) and the Amish farmlands of the Lancaster area.





One recommendation I can make is the Hickory Bridge Farm in Orrtanna, about a 10 minute drive from Gettysburg. Very rural country setting with accomodations in both an old farmhouse %26amp; streamside cabins - beautifully decorated %26amp; reasonably priced. They offer family style dining on the weeknds, too, and I believe breakfast is included in the room price. They do have a website if you want to check it out.
