Was so excited about going to Shipshewana and staying at a B and B. Huge disappointment in the Old Carriage Inn. We got to the B and B at about 3:00 p.m. There were, what I had assumed, guests there but now I look back and I think they were friends of the owner already there. We were greeted by... More

For a comfortable setting in Amish country, as if you are staying with an old friend, look no further than The Old Carriage Inn in Shipshewana, Indiana. This B&B is in the heart of Amish country - a great location, right next to the flea market and near a major road. Brigitte is a warm, hospitable, friendly hostess who goes... More

If you do try this "inn" don't take a room (sunflower room) at the top of the barn! Terrible AC, magazine's in the bathroom from the year 2000 and the plastic flowers covered in dust. The net curtains looked old, discolored and tatty. The bedding looked a bit iffy to me and my son kept waking up saying "ouch" trying... More

We have been going to Old Carriage Inn for approximately the past 10 years. Ever since our first visit, we won't go anywhere else. Brigitte and Miriam are the best. They're full of information, very friendly, will do anything for you, and are like family. In fact, they always say "Our home is your home." The whole atmosphere of the... More

Good news - Great location if you are going to the flea market. It is also clean and has a "fair" breakfast. Bad News - The decor is straight out the 80's - in all it's country charm. The mattress I slept on was too soft and the sheets had to be 160 thread count and used SINCE the 80's.... More

Almost everything was fine, UNTIL the two-year old grandson came to stay over a couple of days and nights while we were there! He was totally disobedient, and the grandma could not control him at all! She suggested that THEY (not just him) have a time-out. Nothing worked! The house was comfy, the food was excellent, the location was very... More

My friend and I stayed at this b&b for one night and would definetly go back! The owner and her helper are wonderful--friendly and funny and the breakfast was delicious! Our room was in need of some updating (Rose Room) and was noisy in the morning because it is off the kitchen. The property backs up to the Flea Market... More

We just stayed at the Old Carriage Inn this week. I was very disapointed with the room we were given. Commercial carpet over concrete. The bath did not co ordinate with the bedroom at all. No homey special touches such as fresh flowers or comfortable chairs in the room. It was pretty basic accommidations.

We have stayed at this B & B each year when we go to Shipshewana. It is neat, clean, & very well cared for. The people are so friendly they make you feel like family. The breakfast is incredible & delicious. And it's so easy to walk to the flea market & take packages back to the room to unload... More
