Charming, spacious home near towncenter amenities, resturants, trails and parks.

Charming, spacious, and inviting, Spruce House is a cozy, updated circa 1900s 1 ½ story home conveniently located just steps away from Middlebury’s quaint town center, the perfect base for exploring Northern Indiana’s bucolic Amish Country, the renown rails to trails Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, the Quilt Garden Tour, the Heritage Trail, shopping, arts, food, and fun. Newly restored with warmth and personality, Spruce House features the comfort of a relaxing, private home-away-from-home to enjoy with family and friends. Beautiful, convenient updates include a cheerful, fully equipped kitchen with all expected appliances, laundry room with washer/dryer and plenty of room for gear, three large bedrooms (including ground floor main bedroom with large walk-in closet/dressing room) to sleep six adults or family members (sorry, no pets) on comfy, new mattresses, large bathroom with walk-in shower, double sink, and miles of mirror. Dining room/library area seats six in comfort to enjoy a meal at home whether cooked in the adjacent kitchen or carried in from one of the many local eateries. Or go out on our friendly little town and experience the offerings of family-friendly eateries, local microbrew, coffee shops or fine dining restaurants only a block away. While you stroll Middlebury’s downtown, take in the unique locally-owned shops and business, or stop in at the Chamber of Commerce for more helpful information to explore the regions many attractions, parks, trails, antiques, arts and more.

College sports fans will appreciate the easy 40 mile drive to University of Notre Dame games in neighboring South Bend, In. Others who prefer the "sport" of shopping may choose the seven mile trip to seek the deals at the Shipshewana Flea Market, explore the wide variety of the 100 plus shops spread through out the charming town next door, attend an event at the Michiana Event Center (the MEC) or take in a live performance at the Blue Gate Theater.

Once back “home”, enjoy the privacy-fenced, jewel-box backyard complete with outdoor, covered dining area, gas grill, deck, fire-ring and lawn furniture. Enjoy a campfire with complementary fire wood or rock away your cares on the front porch swing in this friendly, quiet neighborhood. For more activity, just 75 feet from your door is the paved multi-use biking/walking trail that will allow you to traverse 17 miles of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail connecting Middlebury, Shipshewana and Goshen, IN, as well as connections to Krider’s World Fair Gardens and the other gems of the Middlebury Parks and Trail System for closer to home recreation. Later, snuggle up in the comfy living room with TV, cable, Wi-Fi/Internet, games, puzzles or group crafts (Quilters and Scrapbookers welcome!).
Spruce House offers privacy, comfort, and convenience as home base for relaxing in and exploring the charming, rural country side of Northern Indiana’s Amish Country with unique, locally-owned shops, restaurants, bakeries, microbreweries, lovely parks and trails, hometown festivals, and art shows. Welcome to your home away from home!

The property was clean and beautiful. All the comforts of home. The only issue I had was the musty smell. My head started clogging up within a half hour of being there. But, my trusty Zyrtec helped with that. All in all it was a wonderful place to stay and would recommend it.

Annual ladies visit to Amish country
The home was very clean and decorated in an inviting, down-home way. It is charming just like the title indicates. The property is well maintained, including the outdoor spaces. We loved the front porch, as well as the back patio, where we enjoyed playing games under the shade of the tree. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of 5. The kitchen was well stocked, making our stay extra convenient since we ate in for most of our meals. The stairs to the upstairs are steep, so keep that in mind for those wishing to use the upstairs bedrooms. Two in our group stayed in the downstairs bedroom to avoid the climb, but the upstairs bedrooms are charming and worth the climb in my opinion. The owner was timely and easy to communicate with. It’s easy to like this property and the hosts who take such good care of it and strive to make the guests feel welcome. We would stay here again.

ADORABLE - highly recommend
This is an adorable and cozy home to stay in. It was perfect for our group of adult coaches while in the area for a volleyball tournament. I wish we'd have had more time at the house to enjoy the outdoor fire area, it's perfect for some quiet time and is not far from Shipshewana. Property is exactly as described and hosts are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. There were personal touches added for us as surprises that we found on arrival. Highly recommend staying here!

Charming Home
This home is warm and inviting from the cozy front porch to the firepit in the backyard. The hosts thought of all the little details that make a vacation relaxing - fans and Kleenex in each room, live plants, games, plenty of comfortable seating and a special treat waiting for us in the refrigerator. The sky lights and windows brought in natural light during the day with plenty of lamps and ceiling lights for the evening. Just a short drive to the Blue Gate Theatre and that Shipshewana has to offer. Will stay there again!

Very nice and spacious home! Very well decorated and we loved all the extra accommodations. Like paper plates, lots of useful kitchen equipment and tools. Beds were pretty comfortable, not the best but not the worst we have stayed at! They had games, lots of books and a beautiful backyard with a fireplace and DRY Firewood. Definitely would stay again!!

Friends get away
We came to visit Shipshewana for the first time. I found this house on VRBO while searching. Its perfect, just a short trip to Shipshewana but the town of Middlebury was great as well, everyone was so nice and friendly. Monica was great and the house was perfect. Very clean, quiet neighborhood, everything we needed and more.

Home away from home
Greg and Monica have thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable! They provided extra towels and blankets along with games, puzzles and books. Top that off with outdoor spaces ready to enjoy (front porch swing and back yard fire pit with wood included, table with awning for dining outdoors). Our annual gathering of two families for 13 years have brought us to many locations but this one was definitely at the top. Thank you for such a great home to stay in!
