The hotel is very nice. Our room was very spacious and we had vaulted ceilings which made it seem larger. There was an additional room that had a sink and was great for putting makeup on.

This is a very family friendly hotel complex. The restaurant serves a very nice buffet, and the hotel grounds are well kept. It is a short distance to Shipshewana, making it a good base of operations.

I was very disappointed for what we expected and for what they offer for breakfast! No scramble eggs! Only cold boiled egg. Their biscuits and gravy was not good! The couple donuts they had tasted like old!

Favorite place for a girls' night out

The staff were pleasant, professional, and going above and beyond. We stay here twice a year, but this year was the best ever. Walks on trails, firepit, shopping, endless fun!
