Our room was large and nicely appointed. We had a double-double. There was a dressing area with hanging space and a sink, handy when someone has steamed up the one in the large bathroom. The desk also had a nightlight which is nice when one gets up in a dark and unfamiliar room. Breakfast was a bit better than the... More

The Essenhaus Inn has expanded greatly; it has large, airy, comfortable rooms. Our room had a balcony that overlooked a pond, weeping willow trees, a covered bridge and the expansive property with walking paths. Although it also overlooked Route 20 which is busy, it was fun to watch both semis and Amish carriages go by. It was far enough from... More

My husband was attending a conference that was being held at the Inn's conference center and so we stayed there for the weekend. We had a standard room with two queen size beds, average size room with beautiful oak furniture but the wallpaper and curtains were a little tired looking. The bathroom was average size also and there was a... More

What a great place for a getaway. Staff is welcoming and helpful. I took my grand kids for an over night, and it was perfect. They went swimming a lot in the nice pool. The atmosphere is very cozy. Breakfast was great. Rooms are very spacious.

The common areas including the pool are very well kept and great attention to detail.My room was large and included a sofa with coffee table. The bathroom was small... More

The staff was very friendly upon arrival. We had a 2nd floor atrium room which was very quiet, roomy, cozy, and clean. We stayed 3 nights. The only disappointment was that the shops did not open until noon and the signs all say 10:00 a.m. opening (with varied winter hours). I was there on a day of the varied hours.... More

Stayed here for one night with the family when visiting Shepshewana. The hotel ground was huge with very nice landscape (big ponds, flowers quilt, green, etc). The hotel is charming. The setting is very unique with different themes for every room/space within the hotel area. Very interesting. It's a big hotel. Our room wasn't big but lovely. We had 2... More

This is a clean, quiet and safe place to stay. This is a no alcohol establishment as noted by serious reminders throughout the inn. Anyway, you will likely encounter older tourists here but there is a indoor pool which may be a good option for children. I was in this area due to a local sporting event. This location is... More

We were able to get in last minute. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet. Staff was friendly,and accommodating. Well worth the money! We live 45 minutes away so we have never stayed, before, but were in Middlebury for a swim meet. Best decision we made.
