What Customers Are Saying

  • Shipshewana Auction & Flea Market

    "We come every Spring, and when we can get away, in the Fall, and always have a GREAT time when we visit... Always look forward to going!!"

  • Excellent

    "This was the best place I have ever stayed at. The service was excellent and the facility was very clean. The people were very friendly and it felt real homey. I was very surprised by the note left in our room when we arrived welcoming us. The emails prior to our stay wondering if there was anything we needed before we arrived were also a welcome surprise. The breakfast was excellent as well. Very impressive." - alfisk63, TripAdvisor, March 2018

  • Shipshewana Flea Market

    "This is a shopper's paradise! They have it all: crafts, food stuff, fresh produce, plants/flowers, antiques, anything for your house/kitchen you can imagine, clothes, sunglasses, etc."

  • Cleanest and Friendliest Hotel

    "This is the cleanest and friendliest hotel I have stayed at. A handwritten welcome note left on the nightstand by your room maids. Very personal touch." - robynstark72,  TripAdvisor 2018

  • Shipshewana Antique & Misc. Auction

    "It's a lot. I'm a fairly experienced auction goer. I've never seen anything like this. There are multiple auctioneers going so it takes a few minutes to acclimate to the environment. Bring a friend if you are considering multiple items. They had some awesome stuff!"
