The room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was plentiful, delicious, and had a nice variety. We were on the second floor and many times we heard loud footsteps creaking above us. It was hard for us to have a chlorine pool.

I love shipshewana. It is a beautiful town. So much to do; shopping downtown, walking through the flea market, taking in a show, or walking/riding the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail. The Bluegate Restaurant is a great place to eat with your choice of buffet or menu dining.
