Great weekend trip.
My mom and I had a great stay in a 2 queen bedroom. The hotel is very clean, the bathroom was spotless, and the room was pretty spacious. Great visit it to Shipshewana and close enough to town, but also not too close so it did not feel congested.

Disappointed
We chose the room for the hot tub. There are no safety bars. It seemed to be an older style. It would have been impossible for me to get in and get out. Very disappointed. The pool did not seem clean and was cold
