Beautiful property and the ambiance was lovely. We stayed for 5 nights. My complaints would be that the mattress on the beds were hard as rock and i woke up with body soreness every morning. Honestly, i dreaded going to bed at night. Some people enjoy a firm mattress but this was firm times 10. Also, the rug in our room was dirty and there were large black ants crawling around. I highly doubt we will book a room here again.

Essenhaus Inn is beautiful, inside and outide too! Very clean, person at reception desk was very nice and friendly, very quiet, unique decor. Right next door to the Essenhaus restaurant and variety of gift shops. There are very nice walkways and scenery is beautiful! We had a balcony on our room with a small table and chairs on the balcony. There is also a very nice fire pit surrounded by chairs behind the hotel. I loved staying here and would absolutely stay again!

We had an event in Shipshewana, so stayed at the Essenhaus Inn. Everything about our stay made it a Home-Away- From-Home. From the Check-In to the entire staff who made it so comfortable.The Breakfast was also outstanding! We booked another stay on our way out, Thank You for such a nice experience for us!

I have never seen a more beautiful plant (the building) or property the location. at any other hotel we have visited or stayed in. the food the staff the room. I just can't say enough about how pleasant the stay was. My only problem was that we were traveling and got there rather late, so we couldn't enjoy it more. best there is!!

We've gone there for many years, call it our home away from home. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. One note is their pillows and mattresses are not very comfortable.
