About this property

Mabel and Harry's, a modern country guest house

Mabel and Harry's guest house is situated in the pristine rural beauty of the Indiana countryside. This historic colonial farmhouse has been renovated into a luxury retreat. A mix of the old and the new: original architectural features and ultra HD TVs; an induction cooktop and a speckled enamelware kettle; antique nightstands and highest quality bamboo sheets and bedding. The house was designed with the intention that our guests will experience the quiet elegance of this country getaway.

Top notch experience
This home is super cute and well appointed. Great for families or couples. Beautifully appointed. Large showers and ample washing and drying facilities. Comfortable beds. Plenty of serveware and cookware provided. Lots of yard to play in. Very nice deck with grill and fire pit. Space to park 3 to 4 cars. Electrical on the exterior to plug in RV and/or electric vehicle. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone we know, but we are from California and probably will never make it out this way again.

Beautiful Home!
We were in the area for a family funeral, and this was the perfect location to come back to. Beautifully kept and managed, the host was amazing. We are so thankful for the warm hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Janny Varnau

Host profile image
After a thirty-eight-year career in nursing, Janny developed a passion for real estate. She and her brother Mark created Jewell RD Homes, named for their childhood homestead. With operations in Indiana and Florida, JRH buys, remodels, and sells homes and provides design consultation and real estate solutions. It was her vision for what their grandparents’ home could become that fueled the creation of Mabel and Harry’s Guest House, the modern country retreat.

Why they chose this property

This colonial farmhouse, built in 1920, was purchased by Mabel Daily, a housewife and mother of 13 who had a vision for her family’s future. Generations later, her granddaughter Janny bought the farmstead from a cousin and invested years into a loving and design-intensive restoration. M&H is a mix of the old and the new: original architectural features and high-definition flatscreen TVs; an induction cooktop and a speckled enamelware kettle; antique nightstands and the highest-quality bamboo sheets and bedding, not to mention our single-strand mulberry silk pillows. The house was designed not only with preservation and elegance in mind, but with an eye toward the kind of relaxation that can only come from having your every need met.

To preserve nearly 70 years of family history, Janny, co-founder of Jewell RD Homes, purchased her grandparents’ farmstead. She and her brother and business partner, Mark, executed an extensive two-year design plan to transform Mabel and Harry’s into a charming space for short-term rentals, special events, and intimate weddings.
