Oakwood is always a beautiful place to stay. Even though I usually check-in late after delayed flights to South Bend. The rooms are clean, the lobby smells good, and the staff are extra helpful. The grab & go breakfast was a nice treat too! I absolutely recommend Oakwood to anyone staying in NE Indiana.
We LOVED this resort! Beautiful view, friendly staff, great food right on site, safe area. We drove to Indiana to go to a concert in Shipshewana. So glad we chose to stay here, so worth the short drive to the concert venue. If we ever go back to Indiana, we will plan it around staying here!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
wonderful views. Resort staff friendly and welcoming rooms were comfortable We would definitely stay again
We loved the design of the hotel. The biggest problem was we could hear everything outside our room and in the room next to ours. It was very loud, especially while trying to sleep.
Oakwood Resort offered a peaceful and relaxing stay, made even more special by the beautiful view of the lake right from our room. The only aspect that felt out of place was the refrigerator—it stood openly in the room and would have looked more cohesive tucked into a cabinet that matched the furnishings.
Need yo upgrade breakfast, this not a resort breakfast We were there 7-8 years ago 3 times always a nice buffet you can put what you have now for customers to get also put micro waves in rooms and get cable tv, i wii not book again unless you change the breakfast
The property is beautiful. All of the staff was very professional and friendly. Very accommodating to any needs.

Liked: Room comfort
Not quite as advertised
The hotel setting was better than the interior. The toilet flushed very poorly - weak and slow. The room had only one chair which made the bed the only other place to sit. For the price of the room one would expect glass rather than plastic cups and more than one serving of coffee. The carpeted stairs were stained with what looked like ongoing construction. The quality of the non weekend “breakfast” mocks the word breakfast. Other than that the views were wonderful, the bed and room temperature was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Would we stay there again- probably.
