There are plenty of modern hotels, even out in Amish-country, Indiana.
We have *not* stayed in any of these hotels, but here is a list of some we hear good things about:
It looks like we will be getting a group rate for the Blue Gate Garden Inn, which is about 20 minutes from the cottage. If you are staying there, you will likely need to pair up with people who are renting a car. We have limited parking for rental cars at the cottage.
Howe (11 miles, 17 minutes)
Super 8 - Howe (~$55/night)
Best Western PLUS - Howe (~$100/night)
Hampton Inn - Howe/Sturgis (technically in Michigan ~$100/night)
Kendallville (16 miles, 25 minutes)
Holiday Inn Express - Kendallville (~$85/night)
Best Western Inn - Kendallville (~$85/night)
Shipshewana (16 miles, 21 minutes)
Blue Gate Garden Inn - Shipshewana - (~$90/night) [highest online reviews and the one we recommend]
Super 8 - Shipshewana (~$50/night)
There *may* be a house you can rent on the lake - we have had a difficult time figuring out availability of rentals since almost all renting is done by word of mouth. Stay tuned for updates.
