Great place
This is a great place to stay in South Bend if you’re on a budget but want something comfortable and homey. The rooms are nice and the historic aspect of the house is great. It is also nice to have a kitchen to use, plus mini fridges in the room.

I never stayed there. I was unable to check in on the first day. And then I ran into some issues that evening which prevented me from returning. So I paid for the three days and never stayed there

Great
Wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed out visit. We enjoyed it so much we are going back at the end of the month. I had neck surgery and asked for extra pillows, the staff went out of there way to find and bring me the extra pillows.

Our stay is good, just a side note from the age of the building stepping on some areas of the floor has a bit squeaky noise but overall the place is quiet and have a very historic museum on the ground floor.

This home was built in 1890 so it doesn't have a lot of modern amenities, but once you understand you are essentially staying within a "museum" you can only enjoy the ambiance, artwork, furniture, items and artifacts virtually everywhere.
And the owner, Don, has a pristine Avanti car in his garage that he is very proud of and willing to show you!
I would most definitely return!

Fun in South Bend
The only down side was the size of the bedroom which is typical of bed and breakfasts. We really appreciated the new bed and personal attention.

Feels like home
This place was amazing and so was the couple that owns it. They made me feel right at home, not at all worried about staying in a place with others and comfortable right from the start. It was so cozy i didn't even feel like I was traveling. Loved all the cars and decorations of the home. Will definitely stay again!!!!
