We LOVED this resort! Beautiful view, friendly staff, great food right on site, safe area. We drove to Indiana to go to a concert in Shipshewana. So glad we chose to stay here, so worth the short drive to the concert venue. If we ever go back to Indiana, we will plan it around staying here!

Oakwood is always a beautiful place to stay. Even though I usually check-in late after delayed flights to South Bend. The rooms are clean, the lobby smells good, and the staff are extra helpful. The grab & go breakfast was a nice treat too! I absolutely recommend Oakwood to anyone staying in NE Indiana.
