Van Buren Hotel

Relaxed Comfort Just Outside the Spotlight

Modern yet cozy, the Van Buren Hotel offers a welcoming stay just 1.6 miles from the heart of Shipshewana. Known for its small-town charm and proximity to local attractions, this hotel is a peaceful base for concert-goers looking to unwind after a show. With free parking, an indoor pool, and a 24-hour front desk, it's a great mix of convenience and comfort.

Rooms include flat-screen TVs, microwaves, coffee machines, and private bathrooms with free toiletries—ideal for winding down after an exciting night out.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, and the very generous 1:00 AM check-out gives you time to sleep in after the encore ends.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s quiet setting just outside the town’s main hustle, providing a restful atmosphere after a high-energy evening.
