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.

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.
