We were planning on staying at the Essenhaus Inn, but they were full up because it was a Notre Dame football home game weekend. So we stayed at the Hampton Inn nearby and ate and shopped on the Essenhaus grounds. We found a mom and pop cider mill, "Miller's Cider Mill," with homemade fresh cider and beautiful surroundings. We will definitely go there again!

Lots of great shops, places to eat, and things to do! We loved the shops downtown and The Barn Door north of town. We also enjoyed the Creamery on Main for lattes and pretzels, and the Village Inn Restaurant had great burgers. Clothesline Creations quilt shop was so welcoming and helpful with my quilting needs. Krider’s World Fair Gardens was fun and nice refreshing fall walk! The Essenhaus shops, restaurant, and Inn were lovely and quaint.

I loved the scenery. Driving from Shipshewana to Middlebury! The Amish farms and getting a small glimpse of their lifestyle. Also the curvy roads, perfect for driving slow, tak8ng in small town scenery....very relaxing and enjoyable! The scenery and trails at the Essenhause hotel were absolutely lovely,

Middlebury is a small town in the Amish part of Northern Indiana. Essenhaus Inn and Conference center is adjacent to a large restaurant and gift shop. There are several very nice gift shops on the same property, as well as a couple of paths that are accessible from the hotel that accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and even an Amish horse and buggy ride. One even has a small, covered bridge that some local boys were fishing from. Since we only stayed one night, we did not experience much in the area, but did go over to see Krider's World's Fair Garden, about 5-10 minutes from the hotel, and the grounds were lovely and rustic. The Amish town of Shipshewana is only a few minutes' drive from Middlebury, and it has lots of amenities and shops. There are several hotels, and even a hotel with a dinner theater. The town also has a weekly flea market. If you are looking for a quiet, clean, quaint get-away, the Middlebury area might just be the place for you!

Very beautiful area, lots of horses and buggys for extra ambience Essenhaus property is very, very nice. We visited a bar called Wedgewood Pub and didn't care for that. Way too loud and although the boneless wings were very good, the sauce (garlic parmesan) was terrible.

Legendary Grind-great coffee and treats. Do not stay at the Hampton Inn! Cute town but we didn’t find many shops. We loved the Krider World Fair Garden! Had good food at Rullis but it was very loud!
