Amazing B&B ..1800 year old house . .
Lovely Rooms, friendly owners,..hot breakfast is so delicious . .
Walking distance to all the cute shops..
Enjoy chatting with other people staying there.
I tried to make reservations for several days. I emailed , called , and left messages. I received no returned emails or calls. Would have been nice to be able to give a better review based on an actual experience there.
Very nice place. Very pleasant people
We had a very positive experience here. Great location, Rose was lovely, and very accommodating. Room was very comfy. Would stay here again.
My niece and I stayed in the "Guest Room." We were told the keys would be in the mailbox with our name on it since we would be there after 5pm. Things were going great at first. Once we began unpacking, we noticed pink mold on the shower curtain as we put away our shampoo. Then we noticed mold along the tub, the linoleum along the tub was coming up and had filth along it.
The next morning the only person we ever saw was a young amish girl who served the breakfast. We never saw anyone else the entire time. We stayed 2 nights. The pictures will also show the dust and filth in the bathroom along the floor and around the toilet paper holder. Breakfast the next morning was terrible. The frozen cups were frozen solid. The creamer for the coffee was expired (see picture).
That evening I called Kelly, one of the owners. She was rude. I am not talking irritated. I'm talking RUDE that I was bothering her. I explained about all that I noticed and was stunned at it all. What really made me shake my head was as we came in, we noticed breakfast for Sunday morning sitting on the counter. Now, keep in their website states FULL HOT BREAKFAST which leads you to believe that means daily. WRONG. That means when they feel like. The rolls for Sunday morning were sitting out with a plastic unsealed wrapper around them. The butter and jam (which the jam clearly said refrigerate after opening) were sitting out.
I told Kelly my concerns especially the concern about the SPOILED CREAMER still sitting out. She stated she told the gal to replace them but apparently didn't. Oh well, I could use milk if it wasn't expired. She had ZERO concern for the guests and didn't even know who I was.
Now the reason people chose a B&B is for the personal comfort and personalized service. We had none of it because no one was anywhere to be found. Kelly told me if I wanted creamer, then I could get my own or walk to the Bakery next door which she also owns and get my own but she was busy and didn't care that the creamer had spoiled 2 months ago and curdled the milk.
She agreed to refund 1 nights stay. If she doesn't, the charges, of course, will be disputed on my card. STAY AWAY. There are HUNDREDS of B&B's in that area, find another one.
The place needs a good cleaning, updated, owners who care.
The B&B is located in the heart of Shipshewana and is within walking distance of almost everything - the flea market, the Blue Gate Theatre, shopping, and restaurants. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the breakfasts are delicious.
We stayed one night and had a lovely time. Kind hostess and wonderful cinnamon rolls!
Stayed 3 nights, and the breakfast's were very good. Marilyn did a wonderful job and was very pleasant. The sound of the horse and buggy's clip-clopping down the street at night was an awsome sound. Very relaxing. Would recommend it for relaxation.

My husband and I -- and now another couple -- have been visiting this B&B for many years around Christmas time. It is located right in the middle of everything short walking distance to all the fine shops and restaurants. The B&B is a cozy, old fashioned and stately home. The food is very, very good, as is the hospitality. These visits have become one of the highlights of each Christmas.
