Football Weekend Getaway

My husband and I came to Shipshewana to stay for a Notre Dame football game. This property was perfect for the two of us. It was super clean, quiet, and we even got to visit with the dog that lives on the property. We will for sure rebook when we come back!!

Wonderful host!

This is such a beautiful property. The kids really enjoyed the scenery and the space itself is immaculate. The host is incredible and responded with such grace when I got my days mixed up and started bothering her prematurely. She even called to make sure everything was okay when I'm the one who made the mistake. The hosts are so friendly and helpful and the town is absolutely charming. Thanks for such a wonderful weekend!

This was our second time staying in this lovely home. It is beautifully decorated and spotless. The outdoor surroundings that includes two areas to sit and relax on the covered patio and amazing fire pit area are exceptional. We always wish we could stay much longer than time permits. Sarah and Ken are extremely friendly and helpful hosts. We will definitely plan to stay there the next time in the area.

We could not have asked for more. From the friendly greeting by the welcoming party (dog) "Niko" to the beautiful home; we felt like family! The quiet surroundings, the welcoming hosts, and the relaxing vibes made this visit our favorite to Shipshewana in the 5 years we've be visiting.

An oasis

Lovely, spacious home in a peaceful location, yet close to everything in Shipshewana. Well- equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and very nice bathroom with plenty of towels. The living room was equally comfortable, furnished with recliners and easy chairs. This was especially important because the weather kept us indoors. Ken and Sarah are thoughtful hosts who have created a welcoming space for their guests.

Great country home

We loved our stay at this property. It was a great country setting and very comfortable. The furniture was like new and very comfortable. Many extras like coffee and tea. They provided soaps, shampoo, and plenty of bath towels and wash cloths. The owner checked on us to make sure we were happy with everything and wanted to know if we needed anything. This house is very convenient to all of the attractions and shopping in Shipshewana. You can't go wrong staying here. I would highly recommend this house. Thanks for a job well done.
