Best place to stay in Middlebury
Excellent stay we were very surprised and will definitely be back. We especially loved having dinner at the neighboring restaurant and loved that the hotel gave us a pass to minimize the wait time as it is very popular and delicious.

Essenhaus is a wonderful place to come and relax. We came for Thanksgiving and to visit with family. The pool and spa area was warm and welcoming. The breakfast was simple, but the Amish bakery rolls were exquisite. Can't wait for our next visit!

Essenhaus was a great spot to return to after a day of shopping in Goshen to rest up for a day if shopping in Nappanee. It was quiet, had nice shops, a modern roomy bathroom and was very comfortable. The maple frosted filled pastry on the breakfast bar was superb!
