Travel Vlog \\ Weekend Getaway in Shipshewana, Indiana \\ Amish Country!

Hope you enjoy a look at our first weekend getaway of 2020. This was in mid-January on a rainy weekend, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. There was nothing on the agenda except R & R in a little town that we enjoy visiting in northern Indiana. We usually make it up here about every other year for a quiet weekend, away from the busyness of normal life.
Here is the beautiful hotel where we like to stay:

Shipshewana is a great place! I grew up there and my mom used to work at Yoders. It’s been many years since we lived there, it’s changed a lot since I was a kid! Great video!

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

We love it! And how neat is that?! Thank you!

[@pennythompson6773]

Was there last week on the way back to Colorado. Great place . Love going there.

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I've been feeling the itch to get back there soon myself!

[@Borolad116]

I've been here in 2017 and stayed at the lovely Amish -owned hotel there. Amazing little town.

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

It really is ☺️

[@romarobbins270]

I was there about four years ago, I fell in love with the town.

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

Yes! It's makes for such a nice little getaway!

[@wanieta9271]

I like all the neat things , like the knee socks , I haven’t seen those forever. If I went shopping there , I would have to stay for a week just shopping. The AMISH such talented people .

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

We love shopping there! I agree ... they are talented & industrious!

[@dougzwife]

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I came over and watched your video ... ahh...just love that area! I enjoyed your what's for dinner video too! We homeschooled our sons, as well but they are now graduated & have families of their own. Blessings =)

[@maggiebakerr]

I suggest going during the summer so you can go to the flea market and also I suggest staying at the esen haus hotel it’s supper nice and very close to everything also go to the blue gate breakfast buffet

[@ShaunnaDickinson]

I love going to shops like that! My momma has some great ones by her. But I really want that microwave potato bag lol 😂 I’ve never seen one like that before 💕💕

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I hadn't either! Those kind of stores are such fun!

[@issaboussadia4035]

Woow I love it 😍

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

Thank you! 😊

[@maggiebakerr]

I live super close so it’s weird to know that some people don’t know about Amish culture

[@calstalk1675]

So cool

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

We love going to Amish country!

[@MommaDuck7]

Ahhhh. You're in my neck of the woods! #Indiana

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I’m a Hoosier born and raised 😀 We live a good stretch from Shipshewana though. Sure love to visit!

[@pamelacox6034]

I love to go to all the quilt stores up there. I love the grocery store also. What is the store in front of the flea market that has all the cheese and sausages? We had a place on tippy for about 12 years. I miss the area. The kids quit coming up and it was just too much for us to care for.

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I forget the name of that store but it's one of our favorites too! Love sampling all that yummy cheese! I'm sure you have treasured memories from your time there!

[@zacharybabcock7809]

It's called Yoder's meat and cheese I love samples their too

[@laura-ev7ed]

I’m from lake county Indiana I want to go to shipshewana so bad but I think I want to wait till Christmas time

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

midwest mom laura well if you don’t make it before then, it will be worth the wait 😊

[@maggiebakerr]

I suggest going during the summer so you can go to the flea market and also I suggest staying at the esen haus hotel it’s supper nice and very close to everything also go to the blue gate breakfast buffet

[@pennythompson6773]

I have 2 sons that live in lake county. ❤️❤️

[@gabriellemanier2223]

We're considering getting an air bnb in shipshewana to visit amish country. But possibly wanted to stay at the blue gate garden inn! We have a toddler so trying to find the best option for our room situation

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

We have never gotten an Airbnb there but have stayed at the Blue Gate many many times. We’ve also stayed at the Farmstead Inn. It is also very nice. I think the Blue Gate is our favorite. It is a huge place with fun accommodations (ice cream parlor etc) and a nice outdoor fire pit relaxation area that we like. Hope you have a blast!

[@demarycabrera5142]

Hello what was the name of the grocery store do you have an idea what the address was?

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

E & S Sales ... I don’t know the address but it’s right on the main drag as you are going into town.
