“Best bed and breakfast yet!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

I was mesmerized by the unique details in the rooms of the Big House, where we ate breakfast two mornings in a row. Our hosts, Gail and Dave, made me feel like family and even told me I was family "now" when it was time for me and my sister to leave. The first morning we filled the table with other couples who had come for the Quilt Auction and we talked and laughed as though we'd known each other our whole lives. The food was delicious, fresh eggs & sausage, blueberry pancakes, fresh pears, cheese, great coffee, etc. The next morning we had the most amazing french toast I have ever had, along with fruit & eggs with sausage and potatos, and the list goes on. We filled two tables, with me and my sister sharing a table with 3 other sisters and all treated special by both Dave and Gail. I wish I didn't have to leave such a loving home! I will be back, I promise!

“Amish Country and Hospitality at its best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

We tried to find a B&B we could take our 17 year old daughter along without having to spend another $100 or so for a 2nd room. This was perfect. A relaxing weekend, no hustle or bustle unless we wanted it (Shipshewana flea market for example was huge). We went over the 4th of July weekend, and didn't plan well enough for the holiday closings, so finding food was a bit of a challenge, but the place was great. Not an old house, but same charm of one almost and good AC and wonderful food. The owners are amazing and the guests were neat as well.

We will be back for another relaxing trip.

“Don't Miss This One”

Have stayed at dozens of B&Bs and even the ones costing 3-5 more cannot match the hospitality, great food, and enchanting location of the the Big House. Loved the family style breakfast and the prayer before the meal. Pleasant outside area with the occasional chop-clop of a horse-drawn buggy passing by. David and Gail are wonderful hosts!

Room Tip: This a great value so any room is good! Stayed in the Briddle room which is a 3-room suite for $85

“What an AMAZING STAY!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

My husband and I went to Amish Country (Northern Indiana) for the first time last week. We drove the Heritage Trail and made many stops along the way. The best decision we ever made was booking a room at Big House in the Little Woods (I highly recommend you book in advance). The B&B is located right off the Heritage Trail situated between 2 Amish Farms. It's away from all the touristy places. Their home is lovely and full of local amish quilts. Our room was immaculate and well appointed. Gail's homemade breakfast was served family style and if you didn't get enough to eat shame on you. She made the most awesome apple pancakes.

Gail made suggestions for dinner and even pointed me in the direction of her favorite fabric stores (which I visited both of them and they were fabulus - Yoder Dept Store and Lolly's). She is well tuned to all the local shops so ask her for advice.

Gail & David can also arranage an Amish buggy ride with their neighbor. Unfortunately, he wasn't available during our stay. :( So I guess that means we have to return. :)

I would highly recommend a stay at their B&B, Gail & David's hospitality is incredible.

“Wonderful first B & B experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

Our first experience at a B & B could'nt have been a better one. Our hosts, Dave and Gail made our time with them a very pleasant and memorable one. Gail's breakfast was excellent! Their home was beautiful and the area they are located in gave us the perfect Amish experience, including the buggy tour with their neighbor, Ben. I highly recommend Big House in the Little Woods.
