It looks like you’d be a little over a half mile from the shops downtown, but close to the Flea Market and the Yoder’s shops. I would suggest spending one day at places near the lodging. You can contact http://www.visitshipshewana.org to see about potentially ordering buggy rides like a taxi. I’m not sure if these are available, as we just did a fixed tour ride. We hope you enjoy your time in Shipshewana.

When we first rolled into town, I felt a little like I’d stepped into a living postcard. The buggy traffic is steady, especially near the heart of town, but that rhythm is part of the charm. We found that the slower pace nudged us to linger at places we might have missed.

The flea market has large designated lots, and we usually found a spot without much circling.

We’re grateful you felt that sense of calm. Shipshewana has a soothing rhythm that settles in as you explore.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the article. It seems there are hidden gems all around the region. Perhaps a return visit is in your future.
