Mother/daughters get away and show.
Love staying at the Blue Gate Inn. It’s perfect for a short stay in Shipshewana. Great breakfast. Convenient for taking in a show at their performance Hall right next door.

2 problems with our stay
I stayed here a month ago and enjoyed it, but when I returned with my daughter and granddaughter, was told at Check-in that the pool and hot tub were closed. I wished that I had known that before reserving my room. Also our room, 119, had no hot water in the morning.

This is our favorite place to stay in Shipshewana. They must have gotten new mattresses because they were very hard and not comfy like they usually are

Maybe give it another try later
My wife and I were going to stay there as part of our 51st anniversary celebration. We were so looking forward to spending the evening in such a nice but affordable place. In particular, we were going to enjoy the pool and sauna after supper and before bedtime. Unfortunately, the pool/sauce was closed for repairs and upkeep. There went 90 percent of the reason we picked that place. Fortunately we live close enough it was just as easy to go home and enjoy our own place. Now we'll see about getting the financial part straightened out.

Great place to stay. Staff is helpful and friendly. Place is exceptionally clean. Food is excellent. Mattress could use a topper as it was hard. Otherwise love staying at the Blue Gate.
