Welcome to the Red Thread Retreat! We are located in Amish Country in Middlebury, Indiana. We are about 5.5 miles from the Middlebury exit on the Indiana Toll Road (80/90) Come visit our rural Dawdy Haus (an Amish term for a home on your property where aging relatives live). We are surrounded on the North, East, and West by Amish neighbors and their livestock. It's a beautiful and serene place to be. We are close to the big flea market in Shipshewana (7 miles) and to Notre Dame (about 35 miles) and the Pumpkin Vine Bike Trail (1.5 miles) and about 6 miles from exit 107 on the Indiana toll road.
The space
From the parking area, there are 3 steps up to the porch and the home is all on one level. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, you have space to bring your family for a relaxing stay. We do not have central A/C but we do have window units.
Both bedrooms have a place to hang your clothes with hangers and some drawers for your clothes. We provide bed linens and towels for the bathrooms. If you or anyone in your party use products that will stain or bleach the pillowcases or linens you are encouraged to bring your own or you will be charged to replace things that your party stains/bleaches. We do not provide stained linens to our guests. The first bedroom has a Queen bed and a bathroom with a shower/tub. The second bedroom has 3 twin beds and an attached bathroom with a shower stall only for those needing a walk-in shower instead of stepping over a tub. The living room has a sleeper sofa with a full-size mattress with a mattress topper for added comfort. The haus has a full kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, air fryer, blender, small food processor, coffee make and Keurig. The haus does NOT have a washer/dryer. This haus is above the detached garage that we do not park in when we have guests. The Owners do live next door on the property so we can quickly address any needs or concerns you may have.

This is a non-smoking home, and we do NOT allow pets. We live in a separate home on the property, and we have small dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat, that do not appreciate new friends. There is a $300 fee if you bring in a pet or claim it is a Service animal and it is not. Service animals may not be left in the home alone at any time. If you bring in a pet, you need to leave with no refund on the remainder of your stay.

We do have children and dogs who like to play outside and there may be some normal noise when quiet hours are not in effect.
Hair dye/color and self tanner are not allowed to be used in our home.

Illegal drugs (Marijuana is not legal in Indiana), and underage drinking are prohibited in our home/on the property.

We do not have central air-conditioning, but do have window units.

We do have well water and a septic tank. Because of the septic system, you may only drive/park on the driveway, not the grass.

This is a rural home, located around farms with animals. Bugs and other wildlife will be encountered here. We have a family of rabbits living nearby that often visit. You will also see horses, cows, and other livestock that may occasionally escape from their pastures and end up in our yard. With so many farms nearby, and horses on the road, you may smell manure from time to time. As with many rural areas, cell service is not guaranteed depending on your provider. Also the wi-fi goes out from time to time. If these things are deal breakers for you, this may not be the property for you.

We do not charge a cleaning fee unless you leave the dawdy house a mess. Please clean up after yourself, do you dishes, wipe up spills, throw away your trash, etc.

There is a limit of 6 people in/at the property, including day guests. Anyone going above that limit will be charged $100 per person over the limit, per day.

Other things to note
If you need us for anything while you are here, please message us on the platform you booked from. If we don't answer within a half hour, please call our cell phones.

Trailers, RVs, tents, boats, etc may not be parked at our property. They also may not be driven onto the property. We have septic in the yard and there is no where to turn these vehicles around. Our driveway is hard to back out of.

We do NOT have a hot tub. There has been a glitch lately where hot tubs have been added as amenities to properties that don't have one.

Retreat laundry is done in our home where our animals live.

After you arrive, we will come up to the Dawdy Haus to verify the ID of the person who booked.

By booking, you agree that refund requests must be based on issues reported in a timely manner during your stay. We want to make things right while you’re here. No refunds for nights used before an issue is reported, no refunds if you refuse our resolution and choose to stay.

If you report an issue and we send a repair person or inspector and there is not an issue, you will be billed for the costs incurred.

- "This place was perfect for our family of six. My older kids adored the ping pong table and the hot tub and the outdoor space. My little kids were happy to find books stocked for them to read as I had forgot to bring some from home! All the coffee and tea and creamers you can need! I wish we could have stayed longer and I look forward to coming back to our little Rosewood house" - "Nice house and location! My family enjoyed the ping pong table and spending time in the hot tub. Great communication from the host!"

Filled with character, charm and history. Once the home of the Kenneth Krider family. He played an integral role in Krider Nurseries and established the Krider World's Fair Garden on Bristol Street. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, we comfortably sleep up to 8 guests. The front porch, a delightful spot. The shaded backyard, a peaceful retreat. This blend of history, comfort, and modern amenities, a great place to stay. We are 8 mi. from Shipshewana, and 27 mi. from Notre Dame.

- "This home has been beautifully renovated with all the charm of an historical property. Large spacious rooms, great outdoor space and a quaint, comfortable front porch. I was so impressed with the attention to details from bottled water to an extensive coffee bar. The hosts considered every need of their guests. Great walkability to many restaurants and shops. I would recommend this home to anyone." - "There were 5 sisters and the home was perfect for us. Every need was anticipated for our stay. We couldn't have been happier. Whether in the home or on the front porch, we wanted for nothing. The welcome messages and treats from the hosts were so thoughtful. The only suggestion is seeing if another bathroom could be added on the second floor. With 5 people staying it did require some scheduling. It was workable and as children growing up we all shared one bathroom but I guess we're somewhat spoiled now. I do want to add everything was spotlessly clean which is key for us. Thank you so much."

Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch as you watch the buggies go by.
Bring the whole family and spend time baking and laughing in the large farmhouse kitchen.
While you're here consider a drive to Shipshewana to visit the shops or take in a show.
Coming this spring you will find calves, baby chicks and a vegetable garden to enjoy. Welcome!
Guest access
Freedom Farm includes a convenient parking area right outside the fence in the front of the property.
The entire fenced area is for you to enjoy. However pets (dogs only) and small children should be supervised as the porch area is not completely secure. Maximum of 2 dogs. There is a one-time time fee of $75 for pets that is required at time of booking.
It is at the bottom of the VRBO reservation page.
The front door access is equipped with a coded entry system. The code will be sent to you on your day of arrival.
There is an outbuilding that houses yard games such as cornhole and bochi ball for your pleasure.
A firepit for a sunset weenie roast or smores awaits just outside the fence line in back.
You are welcome to visit the calves and chicks coming this spring or pick a few veggies from the garden for your meals.
Adults must supervise children at the barns for their safety.
The basement property and separate driveway is reserved for the owners family.
Other things to note
Freedom Farm was an Amish home for many years. In order to make it comfortable for the "English" electricity, air/heat and wifi have been added. The kitchen configuration did not allow for a dishwasher so a large farmhouse sink was added to make dishwashing quick and easy.
This beautiful home proved to have its challenges to bring it into the 21st century and it does have a few charming quirks but I believe you will find your stay at Freedom Farm relaxing and equipped with everything you need.
~ Michele

- "My husband and I stayed four nights at Michele's lovely remodeled former Amish home. Being pet-friendly we were able to include our 18-year-old toy poodle Soapy with us. We came to the area to see the Quilt Gardens...something I have been wanting to do for some time. The ranch style house is beautifully decorated and supplied with all the amenities...fully equipped large kitchen, washer/dryer, flat screen TV in living room and bedrooms, HVAC in every room. Our queen size bed was very comfortable. The house has a lot of windows (each with its own privacy shade) overlooking the countryside...you can see the sun come up in the morning and set in the evening. The house is located about three miles south of Middlebury on a busy two-lane road (IN 13). There is both Amish buggy and commercial truck traffic. This traffic does produce road noise that I am not used to. Fortunately, the bedrooms are located on the back side of the house so that helped to minimize the din of the road noise when sleeping. Very easy communication with Michele via texting throughout our stay. We had the chance to meet her before we left as she worked in her veggie garden near the house...she is a very lovely lady!"

- "perfect place to relax and enjoy family" - "We had a very fun weekend for my sons 18th birthday party! We will definitely consider booking again." - "Definitely would stay here again." - "There was something for everyone of all ages. We had infants, teenagers, older adults, etc. Everyone enjoyed their stay." - "We really enjoyed our stay. The house has a nice deck overlooking the water, a very nice and substantially sized paddle boat with a ladder that we enjoyed swimming off of in the middle of the lake, and a large, very stable kayak, although it is hard to fit more than one adult in the kayak. Even on weekends in July the lake was relatively quiet and relaxing -- no fast boats or loud people. There is a large shallow sandy bottom for easy entry into the lake. The kitchen was well equipped and functional."

Close to where we grew up, so visiting family was easy. It's a beautiful area with a lot of beautiful homes. Great deck, fire pit, and game room in the basement! We will try and book this again next year." - "Todd was very responsive and wonderful. The property is gorgeous. It was quiet and peaceful. It’s beautifully furnished and we had access to shops and restaurants. More importantly it allowed us to spend quality time alone with our family grilling and making smores over the fire pit while talking and laughing for hours. The game room is so much fun. We even played corn hole in the backyard. He thought of everything. It was such an amazing stay because of being able to easily have the entire family together comfortably.

- "My husband and I enjoyed our stay. This is a very spacious rental. Each room was open and large with high ceilings. Very clean and organized with everything you will need for your stay. The owners are very nice and quick to respond if a problem arises. ***Something to be noted, this is a double story rental. Which means in this instance, one rental on top of the other. We were not aware of this when we booked. We rented for 4 nights/5 days and we’re in the bottom rental. During the week that was fine but on weekend a family rented the second story rental and it was a little noisy. Extremely unusual but that family walked around all through the night, not sure why. It didn’t bother my husband at all, but it kept waking me up. Otherwise, a great country settling and close to both Middleberry and Shipshawana."

- "This was a beautiful and well maintained place! It had so much room and very personable. I was happy to unplug from electronics to just spend time with family. There's many places to see in the surrounding area as well. We loved the cabin!" - "A great place for a getaway. Nice an cozy. Definitely recommend." - "2 nights at this quaint home. Great views, exactly what our group needed for the time there" - "Everything was wonderful. Just as advertised, and better!!! Have only 3 comments to help it be even better: 1. Can opener in kitchen is not functional 2. Mattress in big bedroom (with bathroom) was very hard. My son and son-in-law swapped it for the floor mattress in the loft. 3. SAFETY ISSUE CONCERN: During my initial walk thru of the house, I nearly fell into the facility room after opening the door. Since all of the floor I had been walking on was level, I was not prepared for the step down drop. Suggest a sign be placed on the door alerting the person a step down is there. Also one should be placed on the door to the garage. Finally We Greatly appreciated the firewood, quality and dryness. "

- "Great" - "The older folks really appreciated the 4 person pedal boat! Great set up, but no bedding or towels made it a little challenging, being we came out from California. Otherwise, lovely stay at one of our favorite areas in Indiana. Thanks!!" - "Great place to stay! The place was clean and just as described on the app. It was well stocked with anything you could possibly need. Would definitely stay there again." - "We had a good time.

- "Beautiful and clean apartments. Communication with owner was easy. They were super nice and helpful.

Would love to come back and just have a quite weekend soon."

- "Okay, we came after it had snow a few days prior and nothing was cleared on the many steps nor ramp path, so 6 of us trudged thru snow then tracked snow up wooden stairs that really need some type of padding. NOT for elderly or anyone with steps problems.The 3 beds were so uncomfortable, squeaky and thin; I was able to can feel the mattress quilting through the sheets.The decorative pillow in my bedroom, smelled happily of someone’s cologne.Not impressed at all. Not terrible, but no screens in the windows; no exhaust fan in the bathroom (for 6 people and one bathroom..)The lighting isn’t good. Lights burnt out and dark kitchen.The tv is awesome; there were crayons for kids; 5 minutes to a cvs. We came to go skiing and I wouldn’t stay here again. Also there’s no curtains so it’s VERY bright with streetlights at night making it harder to sleep well. Also, it’s pretty loud in there being right on somewhat of a busy street.Fun to see the horses come clomping by. Our kids certainly enjoyed that part."
