We have stayed at this hotel previously and have never been disappointed. It is away from the main shopping & Flea Market area and is less busy than the other two comparable hotels in Shipshewana.

Excellent customer service

It was a comfortable stay. I did inform them of an issue that's started in the restroom where the wallpaper/ paint is starting to bubble from moisture. I informed them of this prior to it becoming a serious issue. The stay was great. We didn't usw the continental breakfast for this stay.

Friendly staff, clean room, nice pool,(honestly we mainly came for the pool😁). We live in Shipshewana and wanted somewhere to just get away and swim and relax. Was very convenient since we forgot a few things and only love a few minutes away.
