A gentle reminder that this is a large home and 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.

So the ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has a full bathroom as well. So it’s like a very 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.

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 rooms. Softer bed.

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.

In addition, I have finished the attic. There is a 4th bathroom in the attic. Each floor has 1 full bathroom. The attic has a full-sized futon. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do have to charge a bit more - mostly to cover the housekeeper cleaning fee as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably.

If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150 to cover housekeeping & utilities. But you can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you all the door codes just before you check-in.

5 high school friends (we are now close to 60 years old) get together every summer for a baseball weekend. The house and location were great! Close to the stadium/breweries/bars (and Starbucks for breakfast). Host was tremendous to work; very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this historic house for families and groups visiting Fort Wayne.

A beautiful, spacious, and comfortable home with timeless stateliness and beauty along with highly functioning modern updates. The breezes while lounging on the large front porch or in the back garden were a welcome respite from the sun. Our boys enjoyed the game rooms of the basement and 3rd floors. Each bedroom was comfortable and the bathrooms boasted excellent water pressure and immediately hot water. The air conditioning was abundant, which kept us cool. The dining room was spacious and the kitchen had every appliance you could want. Though there was a hiccup with access at check in, both VRBO and the home host worked efficiently to resolve. The home was clean, safe, and very conveniently located for heading to downtown eateries or running out for groceries. We were well cared for. We highly recommend this home and would happily stay here again!

The house was very nice. The check in was a disaster and the owner could not be reached. VRBO did not have a phone number to reach her.

This home is immaculate and gorgeous. The host is very responsive and kind. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful. If you have time take a stroll to see the many historical homes and unique architecture. You will immediately appreciate the care and originality of the home's heritage. My grandchildren loved the playroom. There is a space and privacy for all. This will be our go to place when we visit Ft. Wayne again.

This historical house was truly a gem! We had a blast spending time here for our daughter's graduation from Indiana Tech. There is plenty of room for everyone, lots of extras throughout this well-kept property, and the owner, Wanda was extremely pleasant and easy to communicate with. The game room and extra kids play room were fun bonuses, as was the giant dining room for eating, gathering, and playing games with our large group. Including the Attic room, (which is huge and has lots of sleeping room for kids and teens) there is a full bathroom on all 4 floors of this house. It was an absolutely perfect place for our large group and for the event we came into town for. Also the proximity to downtown was perfect and a lot of cute shops and places to eat are within walking distance, as well as just around the corner from Swinney Park. If we are ever in town with a large group again, we would definitely book Wanda's Historical house for another stay!

We loved staying here for a little spring break trip with family. The location was perfect for us with all of the places we wanted to visit within a 15 to 30 minute drive. The house was spacious and had a lot of character. We loved the comfy living room, large dining room table for playing games and sharing meals, and the game room. Wanda was great and communication was on point.

We rented the home for our family at Christmas, and loved the house, the responsiveness of our host, and that it was walking distance to downtown.
