This was our 2nd stay here. Nice indoor pool area. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire ring and overlooking the country fields behind the Inn. The free breakfast in the morning is so amazing. Omelettes made to order, biscuits & gravy, donuts, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, coffee, juice, etc. The staff here are so kind & very helpful. Overall, we love staying here when we come to Shipshewana.
