Perfect place to stay!
We love Essenhaus Inn. We stay there everytime we are in Middlebury to see our grandson's school programs. It is perfect - great rooms, delicious breakfast in a lovely large dining room - complete with fireplace! Friendly and helpful staff available to answer any questions or requests. Lots of shops, great restaurant and bakery nearby.

Best place to stay in Middlebury
Excellent stay we were very surprised and will definitely be back. We especially loved having dinner at the neighboring restaurant and loved that the hotel gave us a pass to minimize the wait time as it is very popular and delicious.

Essenhaus was a great spot to return to after a day of shopping in Goshen to rest up for a day if shopping in Nappanee. It was quiet, had nice shops, a modern roomy bathroom and was very comfortable. The maple frosted filled pastry on the breakfast bar was superb!

I absolutely love staying at Essenhaus. The rooms are very clean and the staff is very polite. I feel safe there being a single woman traveling alone. They had nice choices for breakfast. I love the Essenhaus.
I was very excited to eat at Das Dutchman and went for an early dinner 3pm. I desided to have the menu dinner. I stood waiting to be seated about 10min. There were maybe 6 people eating, very slow. I was finally seated. I had a very polite young man as a waiter. I had 2 wheat rolls that were very dry. I ordered Chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes w/green beans. The green beans had no flavor and woody pieces. The noodles and chicken tasted old and had no flavor. The mashed potatoes were good. I had banana cream pie to go. The pie was old and had a wet bottom crust. I was so dissapointed. Ive had all these foods before and i know how they should taste. I was so tired from my trip i just left. I didnt see how saying anything would have helped. I wont eat there ever again.
