Staying in Shipshewana is one of my favorite things to do and my favorite hotel is Essenhaus. My daughters and I had another wonderful weekend enjoying great shopping, eating wonderful food, getting the best sleep ever in comfortable beds. The staff is always kind and helpful. It’s like our home away from home. The property is beautifully landscaped as well.
