About this property

Songbird Haven, 3 min from town, Pumpkinvine, MEC,concerts. 3 bedroom, 2 bath.

  • Unplug from the outside world ! No TV, wifi or internet makes this place a Haven of rest, relax and rejuvenate. Inside it looks a bit like my amish gramma's house did, very plain and simple, with more modern conveniences then my Gramma had back in her days !! Only sounds are the songbird, neighborhood children's laughter and the clip clop of horse and buggy. Happy laughter & sounds from the happy coiple residing in the basement. Watch the orioles and hummingbirds from the front porch ! Sit around the fire pit on the back patio or backyard. Feel the peace and quiet of a country, while being right outside ( 3 min) the town of Shipshewana.

    We have big back yard for children to run & play. Board games, Dominoes, Racko, Marble Board game.

    Jason, a young Amish guy, the property manager/maintenance, resides in the basement. He keeps to himself, but if you happen to see him doing yardwork, feel free to have a chat with him, otherwise he will stay to himself. He has his own private entrances.

    Pumpkinvine Bike trail is 1 mile from this house.


    Blue Gate Theater and Concert is 3-5 min .

    Flea market every Tuesday and Wednesday

    4-5 min from MEC Center, go the back roads & by pass town.

We stayed in this lovely home for 2 nights so we could go to a few concerts at the Blue Gate. The home was everything I hoped it would be. It was as warm and welcoming as Miriam is and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Miriam's home is wonderful and has everything to make your stay feel like home. This is the second time we have stayed at her place and will do so in the future. The neighborhood is quiet and the perfect place to unwind. Close to all of the attractions. She is attentive to her guests needs and responds immediately. We look forward to future stays.

Beautiful home with ample space and a lovely feel! Front porch swing and patio were great for AM coffee and PM relaxing! Miriam is a wonderful lady and her story is familiar…you must read the journal! Also, check out the cookbooks and Amish information!! We loved it!

Our week stay was great. The house was extremely clean. Fully stocked kitchen (and I mean stocked). The beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed reading and playing cards.Very quiet and close to everything. Went to see a play at Blue Gate Theatre and enjoyed a meal there also. We went to the Flea market Tuesday and Wednesday. Weather was awful, hardly any vendors, but we had a good time. Thanks for sharing your home!

Girls Getaway

Our group of girlfriends were in Shipshewana for “Menopause The Musical 2”. This house afforded us the chance to laugh, talk, pray and fellowship in a comfortable setting. (We hope our laughter was not too disruptive to the property manager who also lives onsite.) Will definitely stay here in the future.

The Perfect Spot

We chose this property because it fit the needs of two couples but we were so pleasantly surprised. The house was wonderful! It was clean and spacious. The kitchen was large and well equipped. Our mattress was just perfect! My favorite part was the front porch. I was surprised to find that even though we were in a residential neighborhood there were Amish all around us, on Sunday even holding an outdoor church service just down the road. I could sit on the porch and watch buggies and bikes all day! Just perfect! Also, Miriam was very responsive and sweet!

Quiet place to refresh and rejuvenate

Five of us ladies wanted to see the quilt gardens in Elkhart County as well as soak up the Shipshewana sites. As we looked for a perfect spot to make day trips from, Songbird kept rising to the top. It did not disappoint in anyway! There were comfortable beds for each of us and we were able to share the two bathrooms without any challenges. The well equipped, Pampered Chef kitchen gave us everything we needed to accommodate our meal preps. We enjoyed relaxing walks in the neighborhood as well as chats on the front and back porches. We had fun game time around the table in the evenings and morning devotions in the living room with each person having comfortable places to sit.
