A gentle reminder that this is a large home & the cost of upkeep/utilities is the same regardless of group size. Rentals for large groups must reflect the number of individuals staying in the property as I cannot allow significant discounts. Please be respectful of this.

There is also a sectional sleeper sofa with full-sized mattress.

ALL mattresses and pillowcases have been encased to prevent bedbugs, allergens, and are waterproof.

HOUSE LAYOUT:
I decided to write up layout of the bedrooms/beds and available options so you can make a better decision on who goes where, etc. I’ve named the bedrooms to avoid confusion.

GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has newly renovated full bathroom with walk-in shower. So it’s like a small master suite. To get to this bathroom, you must walk through Fairfield bedroom. Fairfield is next to the kitchen; hence, it is ideal for anyone with mobility concerns. Also on the ground floor is the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Though to gain access to the house, one must be able to climb 3 steps from outside. let me know if you have disability issues as I can get a disability ramp.

2nd FLOOR
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms have connecting smaller bedrooms. One bedroom (Wayne) is quite large & has 2 queen beds in this room. There is a sliding door in Wayne that leads to another small bedroom (Union) with twin bunk beds. Union is about 80sf. Union also has its own door to the hallway as well.

There is a small bedroom (Ewing) with a queen bed. It’s about 110sf. No connecting room.

Lastly, there is Van Buren room with a queen bed. This room connects to the solarium (Harrison). The solarium (100sf) has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. To get to Harrison from the hallway, you must walk through Van Buren.

BASEMENT:
Basement has an adult game room with a multi-gaming table (pool/ping pong/push hockey), darts, seating area, 32TV, a laundry area, a kiddie room with TV as well as a 3/4 bathroom.

ATTIC:
700sq area with foosball table, Xbox, 3/4 bathroom, 4 twin beds and a full-sized bed. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do charge to rent this unless it is overflow for a large group - to cover the housekeeping/ supplies/utilities as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably. So If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150. You can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you door codes before check-in.

    This property was actually as good as it looks (I was concerned — it looked too good to be true for the price.) Wanda responded to any questions promptly, the neighborhood is nice, and the house itself is fascinating and spacious. Other than a problem with the dishwasher, our stay was ideal. A great find.

    The House worked out great for our large group who were in town for the North American Brass Band Championships. Plenty of sleeping room/beds for everyone in our group, kitchen was great for making some shared meals for everyone. Also used the grill outside one day. Would definitely stay here again.

    A group of 8 of us stay at the home for our 5th annual “Hallmark weekend”. We enjoyed several activities in Fort Wayne most of which were located within 5 minutes of the home. The home met are needs and we enjoyed the large living room where we were all able to sit and chat and play games.

    The place was lovely! We had about 18 guests and there were plenty of towels, plates, and the kitchen was well stocked. The design of the home is such that those who rise early can sit and talk without bothering those still sleeping. Parking was limited due to construction but we managed fine. No yard to play in, but we spent our time elsewhere. We all slept great there.

    A well-maintained, historic property close to downtown. Room access is adjusted based on size of your group, so don't assume paying the list price gets you the whole house, as the host gets to decide how many bedrooms you need. The claim of common areas in the home monitored by cameras was somewhat off-putting, if true. Off street parking was a plus.

    We had a group of 11 people coming from all over the country gathering in Fort Wayne due to having two family funerals this past weekend. The location was great and close to everything. The host has done an amazing job in restoring this historic home and providing everything that could possibly be needed to have a home away from home. It was a great gathering place for all of us to meet together, so even those who were local to Fort Wayne could stop by for a bit. We enjoyed gathering around the kitchen and dining room table.

The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with shops and downtown just a short walk away. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

    We totally enjoyed our five day stay in this beautifully restored historic home. It served as a comfortable home base as we actively re-discovered our hometown! The central location was perfect for our family and close to our childhood church,....and Coney Is and Henrys and Museums and parks and shopping and the library (genealogy). A great find for future trips to FT Wayne!!!

    My family and I rented this home for a weekend, and it was everything we had hoped for! We’ve always admired the historic downtown area but never had the opportunity to see inside one of these old homes. The host has done a tremendous job restoring / maintaining the beauty of this old mansion. We had absolutely everything we needed while we stayed, and everyone was entertained all weekend. We had cousins visit during the day, and the kids all had so much fun with the variety of games - pool, foosball, ping pong, video games, and even a little play area for the younger kids. We greatly appreciated the separation of recyclable items into paper v cans/bottles v rubbish, and the classic reuse of paper bags, plastic bags, and the offer of pulling from the stockpile of clean plastic containers to take leftovers along with us. The location was excellent, with easy driving to everywhere we wanted to go, and was even walking distance to our favorite hangout - Coney Island. Plus ample parking in the driveway on College. Communication with the property owner was easy and supportive. We have found our go-to place next time we visit!

    This historic home was perfect for our family's gathering! This home graciously provided ample space for our family to gather and allowed us to really enjoy our time together. The bedrooms were well-sized for our needs and the beds were comfortable. The home was only a few minutes away from outings to the Fort Wayne Zoo, the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservancy, and the Children's Science Central museum. Thank-you to the host for making your lovely home available to us!
