This is a very family friendly hotel complex. The restaurant serves a very nice buffet, and the hotel grounds are well kept. It is a short distance to Shipshewana, making it a good base of operations.

We did a little family get away for Spring Break. Enjoyed the pool and played games in the pool area. Ate our Dinner then played card games in the common area outside our rooms. Very peaceful and relaxing.
