Great Gathering Spot

The house is a great gathering spot for a group. With four bedrooms and eight beds there was plenty of room for our group of seven to sleep. The open kitchen area right off the family room worked great for meals, games and snacking. Everyone wants to return for another girls weekend!

Ladies Week Out

This was the perfect place to stay for our ladies week out. We played many games at the dining table, enjoyed the peaceful setting, and made several trips into Shipshewana. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were a nice size. We didn't watch TV or play any DVDs but there were plenty available. I think you'll be pleased if you stay here. There was also a great play set for kids and numerous toys available. Would be a wonderful place for a family!

Wedding

Came into town for a grandsons wedding with several members of our family. We enjoyed the property and had plenty of room for all. It would be nice to have luggage stands in the rooms however and at least some place to hang clothes in a couple of the bedrooms that did not have closets.

Family Ladies Getaway

This was a great house for our family ladies getaway. Our destination was Shipshewana, IN and it was a quick easy drive to go back and forth. The loft area allowed for another bedroom. But there is no lighting control up there. It would be nice to have a lamp up there so you're not maneuvering the steps and space in the dark. There were a number of burned out lightbulbs and we never found the black recycling container so ended up throwing the recycling into the garbage.
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jun, 2022
Thanks for the idea about the lamp in the loft - that is a great suggestion. I’ll ask our service to check the lightbulbs and update the instructions as the recycling has changed. Thank you for choosing us!

10 Year Fantasy Football Draft

My friends and I wanted to do something special for our 10 year Fantasy Football Anniversary. Our lives have changed drastically in the past decade and we wanted to take the weekend to celebrate that together. The Holmestead proved to be the perfect location. Spacious, inside and out. The lounge/bar area in the basement was the perfect draft location while our families played yard games and hung out upstairs. If you plan to grill, bring charcoal. There is a Meijer 10 minutes from the house, which was very convenient. Overall, we were very pleased. I am already planning a return trip in January for a Friendsgiving Dinner.
