“Another wonderful stay”

Reviewed 31 May 2013 via mobile

So peaceful and relaxing - we tried the other highly rated hotel in Shipshewana last week, and although the Van Buren requires a short drive to the center of town, it will be our choice from now on when we visit. The staff is exceptional, the furnishings quite nice. Better quality linens, extra pillows on the beds (none offered at... More

“Excellent hotel”

Reviewed 27 May 2013 via mobile

The room had everything you need. Unlike some local hotels we have stayed the environmental controls allowed guest heat and air as they desired. The breakfast the first morning was great with great sausage, eggs, and sausage gravy. The second morning the was no meat or gravy...eggs and potatoes. But the eggs were good. The staff was very kind and... More

“A grand welcome to Amish country!”

Reviewed 23 May 2013

Our two-night stay here was a joy. Initially there was a glitch in that, after reserving by phone a month in advance, we had to call a week later to say that our plans had changed and we needed to come the same two days, but a week later. Apparently that wasn't entered in the system, because when we called... More

I'm so glad that, given the rough start, we were able to make a stay a great one! I hope that you will come to visit, again, soon. I look forward to seeing you, again. :) More

“First Class Hotel”

Reviewed 8 April 2013 via mobile

I booked this hotel based on reviews here on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. We had the King Whirlpool room at $139 + tax. Found room to be spotless clean and well designed layout. One of my favorite things was the positioning of the tv. Mounted on the wall at perfect viewing level when laying in bed. Most usually just... More

I'm glad your room was up to your standards, because we take pride in our property. I hope this comes across to everyone that visits us.

“A great Spring Break destination”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

We took our teenage granddaughter there for Spring Break. The indoor pool was great and she loved the breakfast choices. The location was great - close to shopping and attractions both in Shipshewana and surrounding areas. Janice was helpful when making reservations and Angie made check in a breeze.
