Thanks so much for your kind comments, Aimee. We love how you and your family family felt so at home at Spruce House and in our friendly little town. So glad you were
able to rent the bicycles and enjoy the great multi-use trails in the area. We look forward to hosting you again on your next Northern Indiana vacation.
We stayed at this house once before and it was very nice. Close to everything and neighborhood is very quiet. Will stay again because we vitit the area couple times a year.
We really enjoyed the charming home. Such a beautifully decorated, fully stocked with everything. The location was great, we could walk to many things and yet close to other towns. We will definitely rent again.
We had a great time visiting the area and attending an OakRidge Boys concert in Shipshewana. We shopped and ate in several different places.
The house was perfect, we loved it.
We stayed here on our family vacation. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and was perfect for our little family. We enjoyed the local park and evenings around the fire ring in the back yard. Would definitely book again!

Thank you for being such great guests! We loved you and your family made the most of the home and the property...especially that campfire! Also, happy to hear you enjoyed our town festival. Please keep us in mind next time you come to our area.
Very best,
Monica and Greg
Very cute eclectic home in a quiet part of town. It was a perfect place to stay when visiting the surrounding cities. The local gardens are amazing and only a 7 minute walk away from the house!
We stayed at Spruce House for 4 days while visiting Northern Indiana.
The house was very clean and comfortable. It was a nice place to come to after a busy day of sightseeing and shopping.
This place was very centralized for all the Amish things we wanted to visit. This was our second stay at Spruce House, and always a pleasant experience. Very clean and convenient. We will be back!
We love staying here, house is very cute and well decorated!! Beds are comfortable and house was clean! Lots of bathroom towels and they even have washer and dryer with soap. They even supply dry firewood for a bonfire. Quiet little town with a few really good restaurants.
