They went out of their way to welcome us and even gave us an upgrade upon our arrival. We recommend this Inn for couples, family parties, church groups because of the variety of amenities they offer - dining room, room decor, etc.

I stayed at Patchwork with my tween daughter in early August. I found the setting perfect for a quiet escape and the house & rooms were all what I had expected from the pictures on the website. Most B&B's in the area don't accept children but not only were they welcomed at Patchwork, but anticipated. Cereal packs were available for breakfast, a stocked rec room held ping pong and other gamse, & a DVD library with recent movies just for children. My daughter was able to enjoy herself just as much as I did. The only problem we encountered was a difficult shower handle. Although directions were posted on the handle, it was still difficult for my daughter to manuver. For a tween, to have your Mom help you in the shower is a complete embarassment. Despite this one glitch, we will be back for sure!

My three sisters and I booked an October weekend at the Patchwork Quilt in without knowing much about it-- we selected it for our weekend just through a cursory online search. We had such a wonderful time! We booked the Lodge for two nights which was comfortable and cozy. We were pleased and amazed by the hot breakfast that was served on Saturday and Sunday. Our hosts who were attentive and friendly but not the least bit intrusive, invited all of the guests to a BBQ on Saturday night-- again, wonderful! Chicken wing appetizers, hamburgers, hotdogs and corn on the cob. We wound up spending very little on food thanks to our hosts and having that much more to spend on shopping. We used the hot tub on Friday night which was a delightful experience under the stars. We have recommended the Patchwork Quilt Country Inn to anyone we have told about our weekend and we plan to return next October for another Sisters' Weekend.

Dear Patchwork, When we came in late at night, we weren't aware of the beauty of the place outside. When we were toured part of the inside, it was very country looking. We didn't imagine how big the place was until we went inside. The inn kept going on and on. The room we stayed in was more spacious than we thought it would be. It was like being in a log cabin. The hostess was very nice and helpful. The next morning when we went outside, there was a sense of peacefulness. The Inn is just far enough away from the highway that we would not hear the traffic. The food was really good. We thought we were finished at the eggs when we were given waffles too. Very filling and delicious. Thank you making our stay feel more welcome even though we came in later than usual at night to sign in. We'd like to come again. Not because of the money, but, because we'd like to take our kids there someday. And Loved the decorations everywhere. Thanks again.

This was our second stay at the Inn. Our son had used the Inn several times and recommended it to us. Our first stay was in May 2008 for a Notre Dame graduation; and honestly, I was less than thrilled. Our mattress was horrible, but the low cost, the close proximity to the ND campus and our son's desire to have our whole family stay there for a ND game convinced us to try it again. I'm so glad we did. I don't know when the new management took over, but I did notice several positive changes. The rooms and baths are smaller than a conventional hotel, but well maintained, cozy and perfectly sufficient for our needs. This time the bed was very comfortable, the owners and the staff were friendly, attentive and consistently concerned for our comfort. The welcoming package of cookies in our room was delicious. The breakfasts were definitely an improvement over the warmed-over; serve yourself buffets you get in hotels. They offered coffee & pie the first evening there and a Bar-B-Que after the game. Being a family of ND alumni, I am sure we will be staying there again.

My sisters and I stayed at the Patchwork Quilt Country Inn for the night while visiting Shipsawana for the weekend. Our stay was very nice.The room was very nice and quiet. The owners served breakfest to all the guests and we got to talk with afew that was there while we were eating as well. There was a couple from England there at the time. We would stay here the next time we're in town. Thank you for asking. Mrs. Gwenlyn S. Williams

We were weary and tired and wanted a few days of peace and quiet. We looked at the B&B's in northern Indiana's amish country, and decided on the Patchwork Quilt Country Inn. They had a special deal going so we decided to stay our whole time there (3 nights). The place was wonderful. It was in a ideal country setting and Tammy greeted us and gave us a tour of the Inn. We couldn't have had a better time. The room was really nice, with an authentic amish quilt on the bed. The breakfasts were very good and the food was different each morning, and freshly prepared as we entered the dining room. There was a soda pop machine in the kitchen that we could use and coffee and hot water available almost all the time. And when we got back from a day of travel, there was an assortment of pies for our pleasure. We could see that the McKean's were working to make the place even better. I would recommend this Inn to anyone who likes B&B's. In our travels all over the country, this inn is in the top 5.

The Patchwork Quilt Country Inn has been a central part of our life over the past six years. My second date with the lady who is now my wife was dinner at the Patchwork Quilt. We so enjoyed the fine food and friendly staff, on our first visit, that we returned the following New Year's Eve for their New Year's Eve Dinner Special. After proposing marriage to her that evening, and her acceptance, we found it natural to reserve the Gathering Room as the site of our wedding and the Loft Room for our weekend honeymoon. Pictures of that event were given to the owners, who displayed one on the end of the reservation desk in the office for a number of years, where we - and any other guests - could view it every time we visited. Many are the times we have returned as a couple, and with family and friends, to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the Patchwork Inn and its grounds for special events, including a Murder Mystery Dinner, and relaxing nights out. The Patchwork Quilt Country Inn has grown and vastly improved since our early visits, and has the most enjoyable accommodations of any facility we have found in the Middlebury area. Tucked away near the Middlebury Exit on the I-80/I-90 Indiana Toll Road, the Inn has 5-star city amenities in an idyllic country setting.

We stayed at the Inn on Sept. 28th when in town to visit the shops and the Shipshewana flea market. From the time we walked in the Inn, we were amazed at the work and love that has been put into every room. The hosts, Ed and Tammy, couldn't have been nicer or more eager to please. The entire staff couldn't have been better. Everything was special from the in room surprise cookies to the delicious home cooked breakfast. Some renovations are still being done but despite that, the Garden Room was cozy, clean and the new quilt was beautiful. We equally enjoyed the kitties out back and of course had to pay them a visit also. I only hope our next visit will offer warmer weather so we can enjoy the outdoors. We do a lot of traveling and this is one of the few places we will be sure to return to. Keep up the good work!!

We have stayed at the Patchwork quilt many times. It is a cosy, quiet, wonderful Inn! The food is the BEST in northern Indiana. I was a school administrator before retiring and at one time held our faculty Christmas part at the Inn. It was wonderful and the Inn keepers were warm, friendly, and soooooooo helpful. I will always stay at the Patchwork when we visit Middlebury.

we stayed two nights. The room was small but it was great to snuggle. Very clean and nicely decorated. The hosts and their family were all very friendly. The baked goods were all really really good. The lodge was comfy with plenty of room to play games, or watch a video. We took a couple movies up to our room. The work out room was still in progress but will be nice when finished.

My husband (Joe) and I (Jodi), stayed for a long weekend (at the end of August 2009), which I will remember forever!! Tammy, Samantha, & Heather were very personable & accommodating to all of our needs. At the Patchwork Quilt Inn, our expectations were exceeded by our stay, as compared to the other B&B's that we have visited in the past!! We would highly reccommend visiting this location to anyone who wants privacy, in a relaxing but cozy atmosphere.

My sister and I took my mother to the Patchwork Quilt Country Inn for her 81st birthday this past August. The room was large and the two queen beds were comfortable with lots of comfy pillows. The breakfasts were good and filling and we loved the country setting and peacefulness. It's a lovely place to spend a few days while touring the wonderful Quilt Gardens and other scenic spots in the area. Evelyn V (from Michigan)

We were looking for value for our money. The price was right and the Patchwork is quaint and charming, very comfortable and home like. You will be staying in a historic farm house in the plain and simple Amish countryside. The new owners are busy updating the decor. Some older reviews reflected the condition of the Inn prior to this updating. We found two large home baked cookies awaiting us in our room. Soft drinks and hot drinks and homemade treats were available through the evening. Breakfast was a phenomenal country feast. We were stuffed and made it through the day with only a cup of hot chocolate until dinner. Once we arrived we wanted for nothing until we checked out. The hosts were very real people, fun, pleasant and always at your service. (Sadly we didn't have time for the fitness room or the hot tub)

My boyfriend and I spent Valentine's at Patchwork Quilt Inn, in the Lodge Suite. We had a hot tub in our suite, along with a bottle of chilled champagne upon arrival. There's also a CD/Radio that we enjoyed as well. The breakfast the next am was great! Ed and Tammy were excellent hosts. If you're looking for a romantic getaway...Patchwork Quilt Inn is perfect. Middlebury had great shopping...especially for crafts and antiques. It's an Amish community, so that add's some unique culture. It's also approx. 30mins from Notre Dame. For those of you looking for accomodations for a Notre Dame Home Football game...this is perfect. And half the cost.

We stayed here for my husbands birthday. When we pulled up my husband noticed a sign that stated "Happy Birthday Brian". He thought that was great. Then after we checked in and went up to our room there was a bottle of Grape Sparkling Juice (I was asked when I made the reservations if we drank alcohol and I stated no), 2 champaign glasses, and a birthday card for my husband. My husband thought I went the extra mile, when it really was the inn keepers that went the extra mile. That was great. The breakfast was sensational. I would highly recommend this B & B.

We are relatively new to the bed and breakfast experience, only having stayed at one other B & B. We would go back, Tammy and Ed did a great job. If you like the country theme, this is the place for you...You can take a walk or sit on the deck and relax. There is a fireplace for the cooler weather too! The food and service was GREAT. Loved the fruit slushy...something different and tasty! Great experience, will plan to go there again when we are in the area.

My wife and I only had two days off of work to celebrate our 1st anniversary. We made a good choice of a place to stay. The room was very nice and comfortable. The setting was wonderful, very close to everything we wanted to do and yet far enough away that we felt out in the country. The staff was very helpful and we enjoyed interacting with them. There is a computer if you need to check you email and plenty of games to play if you get bored. The food was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again! We had a wonderful time and thank you so much for a great two days! Jason and Lauren

We stayed here for 3 nights and found Tammy, Samantha and Heather like family. It had all of the advantages of staying in a hotel (clean private bathroom, satellite TV, exercise and game room), yet with all of the charm of a bed and breakfast. Breakfast was fabulous and huge. There was a new pillowtop mattress in our room and we slept better than at home. The value of what you get for your money was exceptional. Tammy and the girls were very accommodating, getting up early to get us breakfast by 7:00 every morning. As mentioned in another review, the carpet was being cleaned the day we left, and as this inn is so huge, it was going to be no small task. We will definitely be back!!

The setting is very nice. The spotted carpet needs replaced as it catches your eye before you get to your room. The matresses need to be replaced. A hair dryer in the room plus a small shampoo would be a nice addition. The food was very good, the snacks were good and the innkeepers were friendly.
