Weekend stay for basketball tournament

Nice home in a nice location in Fort Wayne. Close to downtown and the various locations we had to go to for basketball. Neighborhood seems safe and well maintained. Close to restaurants and the local park. Very happy with our host, and she was flexible with our checkout due to our tournament times.

Our go-to place to stay in Fort Wayne

This was our second time staying for multiple nights at this lovely property. Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The decor was very nice and it was the perfect place for our party of 4 adults to stay while visiting family. Really enjoyed the beautiful rose garden at the park a couple blocks away. Host was very easy to work with. Would stay here again!

Extra space needed for family

We had a family celebration and needed extra space for our crew. Carol’s home is very clean, comfortable, quiet and close to downtown. Our guests loved walking over to Lakeside park to see the gorgeous rose gardens. Beds are comfortable. Carol is very responsive and easy to work with. Thank you Carol!

Just what we needed

This house was just what we needed for our visit with our elderly aunt in Fort Wayne. Lots of room, so clean and well stocked. The private, off street, parking was wonderful and the deck in the back on a beautiful fall day was terrific!! Our aunt loves to play games and the large table in the dining room was perfect. Thanks to our host for great communication and availability during our stay. Oh....and the beds were oh so comfortable!!

This home suited our stay in Fort Wayne to visit family since we live out of town. Tincaps baseball game with fireworks afterwards was enjoyed by all ages. We used the bikes provided, as well as the corn hole game and grill. Two full bathrooms was a big plus for 6 adults. The home was clean and tastefully decorated. We would stay here again. The owner kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks, Carol!

A cozy retreat, centrally located in Fort Wayne, IN

A cozy property right in the heart of Fort Wayne. A lovely neighborhood close to a wonderful rose themed garden park. We loved the modern kitchen with gas stove. Plenty of cozy blankets and extra fans. Spices, cooking oils, coffee, and tea were well stocked. Perfect as a retreat from either a busy family visit or vacation stay. Property was easy to access, easy to park, and we had groceries delivered at the start of our stay from the local Kroger. I highly recommend that, even if it costs a small fee. The convenience of not having to run out for a quick grocery run right after arriving was amazing. Skip laundry detergent, dish tabs, and even shampoo & conditioner or body wash, as all of that was thoughtfully provided.

What a gem!

We highly recommend this home for your stay when coming to the Fort Wayne area. We had an incredibly restful four night stay at this gem of a property in Fort Wayne. The home is impeccably clean and has a very usable and desirable layout. The living room offers two sofas and the TV has an incredible selection of channels and the owners have a plethora of board games on hand. The kitchen has all the utensils one could need or wish for if desiring to dine in. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The location is perfect with a private driveway for parking and close to shopping and attractions. Enjoy a short walk/jog down to Lakeside park and enjoy the exquisite roses and walk the community. There is also an abundance of playground equipment at the park if you have little ones.
