Guest Reviews:

- "I had stayed here a couple years ago and although there was a new motel that was cheaper, I decided to go to Der Ruhe Blatz again because of my first experience. It was deep winter with snow every night and the lot was cleared in a timely manner. When my lock froze in the sub zero F temps the staff was very responsive getting me back into my room. Breakfast was hot and ready. Highly recommend this motel. If you travel with pets, note that there is a nightly fee that is comparable to many motels. The only 4 star rating above was because my sink drained slowly. "

- "Blue Birds Perch was exactly as described…and even better. Tim and Cherie were perfect, attentive, hospitable hosts that made our stay most comfortable and enjoyable.

Our daughter has yet to stop talking about the horses. :)" - "An absolutely gorgeous home in a wonderful rural setting with great views from every window.

Guest Reviews:

- "Attention to detail was appreciated Washer/dryer on-site was so convenient" - "We spent a week at this cozy cabin and it felt like going home to mom's. Very clean, well supplied in all ways, close to local activities, great porch for rain or shine, and beautiful sunsets! Kitchen is supplied with everything you need, including sharp knives! The cabin is not large but there is plenty of space for everything we brought for our own convenience. There are new stainless kitchen appliances and a new washer and dryer. We only used the master bedroom and can say it slept mighty good. David was awesome to work with and promptly answered our questions. Upon leaving, he asked for input to improve the place. Only thing I could come up with is that more washcloths would be helpful, the water is very soft so a bathmat and handicap bar would be safer and the loft stairs may be a bit challenging for for old folks like us. The place is just plain great! We hit the sights in Middlebury and Shipsee but also the Rise N Roll Bakery and dinner with friends at Jay Walkers, at David's suggestion. (Menu is in the basket} Recommend it all! Steaks and peppered bacon from Yoder's Meat and Cheese were great hits, too!"

Guest Reviews:

- "This is a beautiful, updated property. This guest house has great beds & plenty of space to move around inside & out. The shower worked great & furniture was very comfortable. Very beautifully decorated and one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The owners were responsive & friendly. There is no air-conditioning, but to be fair, the discription did not list AC. The fans worked well & were very quiet. The guest house was a bit close to the owners home & the road. I did not expect this based on the pictures of the home. We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend this property. Thank you."

Songbird Haven, 3 min from town, & Pumpkinvine. Full house, 3 bedroom, 2 bath.
House
Shipshewana, Indiana, USA

Unplug from the outside world ! No TV, wifi or internet makes this place a Haven of rest, relax and rejuvenate. Inside it looks a bit like my amish gramma's house did, very plain and simple, with more modern conveniences then my Gramma had back in her days !! Only sounds are the songbird, neighborhood children's laughter and the clip clop of horse and buggy. Watch the orioles and hummingbirds from the front porch ! Sit around the fire pit on the back patio or backyard. Feel the peace and quiet of a country, while being right outside ( 3 min) the town of Shipshewana.

A storm took a few of our favorite pine trees, we ask that you'll excuse the mess, we are waiting to get the tree stumps removed and more trees planted.

We have big back yard for children to run & play. Board games, Dominoes, Racko, Marble Board game.

Jason, a young Amish guy, the property manager/maintenance, resides in the basement. He keeps to himself, but if you happen to see him doing yardwork, feel free to have a chat with him, otherwise he will stay to himself. He has his own private entrances.

Pumpkinvine Bike trail is 1 mile from this house.

Blue Gate Theater and Concert is 3-5 min .

Flea market every Tuesday and Wednesday

4-5 min from MEC Center, go the back roads & by pass town.

Lots of Lakes, fishing, jet ski, boating

40 min to Notre Dame, Elkhart, South Bend, Mishawaka

Guest Reviews:

- "The house was very clean and the host was very welcoming. Unfortunately, she was out of town and we missed out on meeting her! We enjoyed the back patio!" - "We chose this property because it fit the needs of two couples but we were so pleasantly surprised. The house was wonderful! It was clean and spacious. The kitchen was large and well equipped. Our mattress was just perfect! My favorite part was the front porch. I was surprised to find that even though we were in a residential neighborhood there were Amish all around us, on Sunday even holding an outdoor church service just down the road. I could sit on the porch and watch buggies and bikes all day! Just perfect! Also, Miriam was very responsive and sweet!"

Guest Reviews:

- "We were very happy with our stay. While the property looked like a cabin from the outside, it was very modern on the inside. It was furnished very nicely and the kitchen had all the dishes and utensils that we needed. The cabin is located on a main street in Shipshewana where many, many Amish residents pass by in their buggies. Our favorite pastime was sitting on the front porch and hearing the clip clop of distant horses hooves and waiting for them to pass by pulling a carriage. We will definitely request this cabin on future trips to Shipshewana"

Beautiful completely remodeled home in the peaceful quaint town of Shipshewana

You can also walk the pumpkin vine trail or take the bikes to the trail and enjoy a bike ride. There is so much to do within walking distance. You will love this location.

Guest Reviews:

- "It felt like home away from home! Looking forward to staying there once or twice more." - "Our stay was perfect! We stayed on a Saturday-Monday and the small town quietness on Sunday was so peaceful for us to just rest and relax with our kids. The house has all the amenities we needed including a yard and plenty of balls :). The home is perfectly decorated, clean and lovely. And maybe we’re just used to our thin apartment rugs in Chicago, but the carpets in this home’s bedrooms felt luxurious to us and was the cherry on top of a wonderful stay."

Spacious cottage by lake & walking trails, 1 mile from downtown Shipshe.
Cottage
Shipshewana, Indiana, USA

Relax for a quiet stay in this charming, fully renovated cottage with ample parking, hi-speed internet, easy access to lake and trails, and all the comforts of home. It's a 3-minute drive, 10 minute bike-ride or 20 minute walk to downtown Shipshe. THERE IS NO HOT TUB.

The fully-equipped eat-in kitchen with pantry has a table for 6 and all new appliances - fridge, gas range, microwave, dishwasher and disposal, plus mini-waffle maker, air fryer and bagel toaster. Coffee drinkers, we've got you covered! The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig, drip coffee pot, electric tea pot and pour-over coffee carafe. And there's a coffee bean grinder!

The kitchen LED fan/light combo has a remote-operated dimmer and adjustable-speed fan. All bedrooms have ceilin fans. Every room features multiple windows for plenty of natural light, and all have cordless pull-down blinds for safety.

There's easy parking for four vehicles in the driveway behind the house, plus two more parking spaces in front of the house, with room to park a boat with trailer, or an RV.

The cottage has four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Two bedrooms feature Nectar king beds (one on the first floor, one upstairs) and one has a Helix queen (first floor). The other upstairs bedroom has two comfy twin beds.

The first floor bathroom features a tub shower with grab bar. There's an oversized single vanity and large linen closet, with padded linoleum that feels nice underfoot. The upstairs bathroom has a glass shower. Everything is brand new, and there are lots of big, fluffy towels and oversized bath sheets.

The beds comfortably accommodate 8 adults, plus 3 more kids or adults with the futon, twin air mattress and Tatami mattress. All bedrooms have ceiling fans, closet space and a dresser. All dressers, the desk and the kitchen stove are anchored to the wall for safety.

Extra outlets and charging ports are provided at all bedsides. The first floor bedrooms have 32-inch smart TVs, with Roku remotes and free access to the first seven apps. The large first floor bedroom has a glider rocker with ottoman, and enough space to set up a portable crib. A portable Graco Pack 'N Play is stored in the closet.

The upstairs bedrooms have dormer windows with armchair rockers, if you want to curl up with a book and a cup of tea, or just relax before bedtime. A library of books, puzzles and games is built into the staircase. The large upstairs bedroom (king bed) has a small oak drop-leaf desk workspace with chair. The other upstairs bedroom (twin beds) has two closets; one doubles as a kids' playhouse, with a Dutch door, toddler chairs and childrens' books.

The living room features an extra-long couch, two chairs and a giant Italian leather sectional perfect for lounging, plus ottoman/ coffee tables. Two of the sectional seats offer electric recline to enjoy the 60-inch smart TV with Roku remote and free access to the first 7 apps. There are lots of extra blankets and throw blankets, which you may not even need - with plenty of insulation, the house stays cozy in the winter, cool in the summer.

You might get that snug-as-a-bug feeling like you're at grandma's house, only grandma updated - that's the vibe! A retro take on contemporary decor. Hummingbird Cottage is ideal for any family or group looking for a quiet, comfortable stay, that's close to the action, just minutes away from bustling downtown Shipshewana, but off the beaten path.

You'll find the comforts of home - extra toothbrushes, hairdryers, extra razors, iron and ironing board, sewing kit, flashlights, extra sunglasses, eyeglass repair kit, nail kit, extra chargers, velvet hangers in all closets, umbrellas, walking stick, scissors and other creature comforts, in case there's a need.

Although it has been renovated, the house's character has been preserved. The original white oak and red oak flooring (in every room except the main floor bath and kitchen) has been revived in a natural matte finish that highlights the wood's authenticity. The kitchen features the original cabinets, which have been refreshed with paint and new quartz countertops. The kitchen floor is made of antique barn beams. As with most lake homes, there's no basement.

The large back yard with yard light is enclosed with chain link fence, with fire ring, cement patio, corn hole, and views to the wooded area across the street - you might see deer, wild turkeys, or maybe even hear an owl hooting in the woods after dark! The front of the home is also well-lit with yard lights.

The cottage is one house over from the water, on Shipshewana Lake, with lake views from many windows. Catch the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, a short walk up the hill from the cottage, for walking and biking. The trail goes all the way to downtown Shipshe (you'll end up near El Zorrito Restaurant). It runs about 30 miles, from Shipshewana, west to Middlebury, ending in Goshen.

Downtown Shipshe offers canoe, kayak and bike rentals. The downtown area includes shopping, restaurants, the world's largest flea market (Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8-4 pm, May-September), and entertainment at the Blue Gate Theater and Michiana Event Center (MEC).

Hummingbird is also convenient to other regional areas of interest; it is 45 minutes from the University of Notre Dame, and a 15 minute drive from Northridge High School and downtown Middlebury, with tourist sites of its own.

A couple of things to note:

You will see orange parking cones out front - this is to reserve the parking space for guests of Hummingbird Cottage.

The address of the house, 2840 North 900 West, Shipshewana, takes you to the back of the property, where the garage is, which can be confusing. No idea why the address brings you to the back of the house! Up to four cars may park in the driveway in back (on 900), and up to 2 in the front of the house (on 905). The front of the house actually faces North 905 West. Guests are welcome to park in the back but should walk around to the front door to enter the house via the keypad.

The area is popular with birdwatchers, where you might see blue herons, cormorants, grebes, swans, geese, woodpeckers and flickers, song birds, redwing blackbirds, cardinals and more, and even bald eagles, if you're lucky!

Shipshe Lake is a fishing and boating lake - people don't typically swim. Public beaches in LaGrange County, about half an hour drive away, include Cedar Lake Beach in Howe, Dallas Lake Beach in Wolcottville, and Wall Lake Beach in Orland.

The town of Shipshewana is dry, meaning no alcohol sales.

Guest Reviews:

- "This lake cottage was the best combination of sweet childhood memories and luxury amenities and finishes!! Steph was incredibly responsive and left my huge family the best treats! This home is conveniently located for quick access to downtown Shipshewana yet tucked quietly near the lake. We have stayed at a lot of home rentals and this one was the absolute best when it comes to accommodations like plates, cups, silverware, towels, blankets, toiletries, trash bags, and paper towels! That was refreshing because we usually come with our own. 😃"

The Ice House
Cottage
Shipshewana, Indiana, USA

Relax at this timeless and tranquil cottage, 10 paces from the lake, a short walk from the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, off the beaten path but close and convenient to the action. As soon you walk in the door, you can feel the solace of this house's old bones, even thought it's been lovingly updated with all the best amenities. Shipshewana Lake is a 202 acre no-wake fishing lake known for bluegill and crappe. Bring your pole, pull up a chair and fish from the pier or the shore. THERE IS NO HOT TUB.

This cozy cottage has everything you need to comfortably sleep 6 guests, or 7 if someone takes the couch. The house was “built” in 1900 as a summer fishing shack, and consisted of four walls, a roof and a floor. It wasn't “finished” until 2016, so it’s basically new construction, including a new foundation that's 16 inches higher than the original. Modern setbacks dictate that you build your house at least 40 feet from the lake, but since the house predates those rules, it’s about 10 feet from the lake.

It is well-insulated and virtually soundproof, and has central air and a high-efficiency furnace. There's a water softener and a reverse-osmosis drinking water system.

The roomy bathroom has a generous marble-top vanity, glass shower, tub and plenty of oversized plush towels.

The kitchen features microwave, disposal, pull-down sprayer faucet, gas stove, full size refrigerator, ample cabinet space and granite countertops. There’s a keurig and a drip coffee maker.

The large bedroom off the living area features a queen bed, dresser and large closet.

The bunk room has an IKEA bunk bed which is bolted to the wall, a dresser and a closet. All dressers and the stove are fastened to the wall for safety. There are cordless blinds throughout the house, also for safety.

The bedroom facing the lake features a queen Murphy bed. This room doubles as a front sitting room with chair and loveseat. Remove the love seat cushions and fold down the Murphy bed. There is also a closet in this room, along with a small fold-down desk.

The living room features a comfy couch, leather rocker and small lounger couch that folds out. There is free wifi, a TV, DVD player, and a selection of DVDs, puzzles and games.

A 20-foot deck spans the width of the house facing the lake, and there’s a fire pit in the lawn next to the lake. Bluegill and crappe are found close to shore. Wild turkeys and deer are known to frequent the area, which is popular with birdwatchers. There are blue herons, sand hill cranes, cormorants, grebes, swans, geese, red wing blackbirds, woodpeckers, songbirds of all sorts, catbirds, and if you're lucky, you may see a bald eagle circling over head. Enjoy an evening by the shore, watching the water and the fireflies, and possibly hearing an owl hooting in the woods across the street.

Was this house ever really an ice house, used to store blocks of ice cut from the lake, before the refrigerator was invented? Many locals stopped to ask this question when we were renovating it in 2016. "Was this the old ice house?" Although it old enough to have been an ice house, there's no evidence that it ever was. But the nickname stuck anyway!

Traveling to the area with a party of 14? Considering booking the Ice House and Hummingbird Cottage, which is one house over.

2024 Update: the lake is having issues with weeds this year. It is being treated, but it's not a quick fix. Kayaks are still available, and you might be able to get them out to the clear part of the lake. People generally don't swim; Shipshewana Lake is more of a fishing and bird-watching lake.

Guest Reviews:

- "We did a girls 1 night trip and this place was perfect! It’s exactly how it’s described and super clean. The firepit in the backyard, right on the lake was fantastic. There were lots of fireflies and no mosquitoes, so we were able to enjoy a low key night by the fire. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Shipshewana." - "Loved being right on the lake!" - "This place was an absolute gem! Quiet, serene, and comfy home located right on the lake. The property manager was great and was very responsive with all of our questions. We had a fantastic girls trip! Thank you Steph! We will definitely be back again!"

maker, microwave and sink. Outdoor
amenities: private shower, restroom, fire pit
and gas/charcoal grill. The boat is

disappoint.

Guest Reviews:

- "This rustic houseboat provided a fun weekend overall. It was a tad cramped with our dog, but we figured out how to move around inside. Gorgeous location, no-frills, no running water or flushing toilet, so if you don't mind that, it's a great place to stay for a couple days." - "The property owners definitely put a lot of thought and effort into this little gem! The neighborhood is quiet, the owners didn't disturb us at all! Swans, geese, and a variety of birds to see and hear. If I could only pick one thing to say about this location, I would definitely have to mention that the property owners provide absolutely everything and anything you could possibly need! The only negative would be the size of the shower and toilet. I am a big guy so small spaces are hard for me to maneuver, and the toilet is a compost unit and very small! The lake is over run with weeds (which is not the owners fault). The lake association needs to do a weed kill before it strangles the aquatic life out of the lake! All said, we had a nice peaceful weekend and would definitely recommend the "Tiny Boathouse"!"

Guest Reviews:

- "Heron's Perch was a great spot for our family reunion. Such a cute, little cottage with something for everyone-games, kayaks, fishing, beautiful sunsets, etc., not to mention close by options in Shipshewana and Middlebury. The owners, who have a seasonal home next door, were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! "
