In your down time. take a little walk to our beautiful neighborhood rose gardens or award-winning coffee shop, stroll through our historic neighborhood or if you're up for a longer outing, take a walk across the bridge to our amazing local downtown restaurants!

This was such a cute little place to stay. The hosts did such a great job anticipating needs - from kitchen essentials to bathroom essentials - no detail went unnoticed. It was especially helpful since my electric toothbrush apparently didn't charge before our trip and there was a new toothbrush ready for me to use. I loved that they also took people traveling with kids into consideration and had white noise machines in each room. Lori was so sweet and responded immediately to texts. This is one of the best places we have stayed at during travel.

Thank you for the kind words. We loved meeting you and hosting your family and hope to see you again!
This is such a beautiful home! It was clean, cozy and inviting. The owners provided everything you need, including extra chargers, toiletries and generously sized towels, which is always appreciated. I was also thankful for the noise machines in each bedroom, as I tend to be a light sleeper. That was a really thoughtful touch. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in town.

Thanks, Michelle! We don’t take great guests like you for granted and look forward to hosting you again!
This place was a perfect getaway for me and my husband. Everything was so clean and tidy. The host had extra supplies/hygiene items that were the best touch to the place.

Short but sweet
We had a great stay at the property and were close to downtown which we enjoyed. Thank you again!
This property made the perfect spot for my girls, my best friend of 20 years and i to relax and enjoy the evening it was so close to downtown Ft. WAYNE and The Allen County Memorial Coliseum. We appreciated the special little touches of comfort throughout the home and the owners were so nice

Thank you! We loved hosting you! See you next year?!
This house was just what we were looking for! It was cute, clean, and had everything we needed. We were able to walk to Michiana Wine Fest easily. My only regret is not staying to enjoy the home longer. It was so comfortable and inviting!

This property was on point. The host was absolutely excellent and the property was very clean and described perfectly. Although we only stayed one night, should we ever need lodging in Fort Wayne again, we know the first place we are looking.
