Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

We have stayed here several times. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. We enjoy sitting outside and watching the horses nearby. The rooms are large and always very clean. It’s nice to have breakfast downstairs in the morning. They offer plenty of food. Definitely will visit again!

We really enjoy the Bluegate Inn whenever we are in Shipshewana. The breakfast is excellent and everyone there is so helpful and friendly.
