We recently visited the giant flea market in Shipshewana, Indiana with friends who had stayed at this hotel previously, which is ten miles from the flea market. The hotel has a typical Amish restaurant which serves good hearty food and is very reasonably priced. To our surprise, the hotel was magnificently appointed with different furnishings in the public areas on... More

The rooms and entire complex are spotless and beautifully decorated in the "country theme"...especially love the gorgeous quilts hanging in various places!! All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The rooms were so welcoming and cozy...had... More

Our room was large and nicely appointed. We had a double-double. There was a dressing area with hanging space and a sink, handy when someone has steamed up the one in the large bathroom.

The bathroom was average size also and there was a... More

What a great place for a getaway. Staff is welcoming and helpful. I took my grand kids for an over night, and it was perfect. They went swimming a lot in the nice pool. The atmosphere is very cozy. Breakfast was great. Rooms are very spacious.

The common areas including the pool are very well kept and great attention to detail.My room was large and included a sofa with coffee table. The bathroom was small... More

The staff was very friendly upon arrival. We had a 2nd floor atrium room which was very quiet, roomy, cozy, and clean. We stayed 3 nights. The only disappointment was that the shops did not open until noon and the signs all say 10:00 a.m. opening (with varied winter hours). I was there on a day of the varied hours.... More
