Venues & Event Spaces near Shipshewana, IN

“Incredibly clean rooms and lobby area. Breakfast was delicious and the little living-room areas on the second floor with the fireplaces and couches were super cozy! Curled up for several hours with a book by the fire while drinking hot chocolate they provided downstairs. Staff were fantastic too and very helpful when we had questions!”

“Dining in a private Amish home is an incredible experience that ought to be on everyone's bucket list. This place was recommended to us not by a tourist but by a friendly relative of the Amish owner, Brenda Slabaugh (everyone in this settlement is close-knit). Like other in-home dining venues, the spacious room also serves as a social gathering and worship place for the Amish. Nearly everything in the huge kitchen is prepared from scratch and served family-style. The fixed menu includes bread, salad, chicken, roast beef, noodles, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, and assorted pies. Everything we tasted was phenomenal. Homemade peanut butter and jam, spread on fresh-baked bread, were ethereal. The 'colorific' salad was colorful indeed and tossed in a savory vinaigrette. White meat chicken fingers and dark meat were breaded and baked (not fried) to perfection. The beef (pot roast, perhaps) was fork-tender and juicy. All of the side dishes and pies were just as wonderful.Brenda and family members who helped her prepare and serve the meal were friendly and attentive to our needs, and happy to answer questions about Amish lifestyle and customs. Of course, a 'modern' restroom is available. This business is aimed at large parties and tour groups, but it's available to smaller parties on Wednesday evenings. Advance reservations are required”

“We went for a baking demonstration which was wonderful. Fabulous cinnamon rolls and coffee served. The collection of quilts, wall hangings are gorgeous. Elaine Jones and her son Seth are very welcoming and gracious. Everyone enjoyed our visit.”
