We were at LaGrange for our granddaughters 6th birthday. The stay was perfect toReconnect as a family and enjoy what the area has to offer. Just what we needed.

First off the property was exceptionally clean and well appointed. It was very entertaining being on a dairy farm. However, the lack of air conditioning was not made clear in the description. In 2023 some amenities such as hot water are assumed. I see now that "heat" is clearly listed as available but air conditioning was conveniently omitted. Day two of our trip in July the house reached over 85 degrees. The house runs on generated electric so I assume that is why the oven elements were removed due to the amps required to run it. Definitely had some entertaining moments getting used to that. Be sure to bring plenty of bottled water as the water smelled of sulfur. It seems to be common in this area so just be prepared.

The farmhouse was perfect for our few days in Indiana, centrally located to other activities we were involved in during our visit. The owners of the property were so gracious to us, they have a beautiful farm and the milk they produce is delicious, even flavored! Landscaping is gorgeous!

We had a fantastic time relaxing and resting in beautiful Shipshewana. We loved the town and loved staying at the farm. The girls loved the cows, chickens, the sandbox, and the trampoline under the tree. A much-needed rest away from wi-fi and television.
There is a Sweet Spirit about the Dairy Farm where we stayed.
To wake up and see the cows grazing and the chickens looking for their breakfast, brought so much peace.
Velda and Harry couldn't have been better hosts. In spite of their busy work schedules with so many chores to be done, they always had time to spend with us.
I can't say enough about the absolutely beautiful flower gardens. I would simply stand and stare at the colors and variety of flowers that were there.
And the fresh baked cookies were delicious, topped off with fresh milk from their dairy. There were several flavors to choose from, not to mention their award winning flavor. We were in the Shipshewana area for 'Horse Progress Days'. And while we live fairly close, we will be back just to spend time. It feels so much like home.
And yes, their horse and it's new baby became friends. I miss them already.
We will see you all again before too long.
Until then, may God be with you.
Love and Blessings,
Gayle and Gil
