My group will definitely be returning. It was extremely enjoyable staying in such an old mansion, and there was plenty of parking for all of us. Our hosts were accommodating and answered communications immediately. Incredibly nice people!

This place is absolutely stunning, from the enchanting backyard to the unique and beautiful decorations throughout the home. The fully stocked kitchen is big enough to handle large meals and there's plenty of seating to eat together. Every room has its own theme and was comfortable and clean making it easy to get a good nights rest. The hosts were incredibly kind and knowledgeable about things to do and see around town. Easily one of the best stays I've had and would happily stay here again!
The welcoming entryway
The Crow Bar is a must to check out

Great location for our event

Family from 3 states came down to celebrate the memory of a loved one and to attend a service at their church. We enjoyed this unique home … especially in these colds months. Lots of cooking, sitting by the fire, playing games and watching football. Fun place!

There were six of us staying at the house for an event at the Grand Wayne Convention Center and we had a wonderful stay. The house's location is ideal: an easy walk to the convention center, the Botanical Conservatory, Parkview Field, and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Restaurants were close by as well (we recommend Proximo), and there was a Starbucks one block away! The house is located in the West Central Historic District, a quaint neighborhood of historic homes. The house itself is spacious, with a huge kitchen and many bedrooms and bathrooms. The water pressure was great, and there were bottles of water in every bedroom (nice touch!) The decor is funky with lots of neat and unique works of art everywhere. There is plenty of free parking right by the house too. Sherri, the owner, responded quickly to all questions, and when we had a problem with the heat, the issue was resolved in a few hours. The house is ideal for large groups, and is family friendly--there is room with lots of board games on hand. We couldn't have been happier with our stay and would stay there again without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Sherri R Albrecht

Host profile image
I retired at 43 from owning an antique and classic car museum, gift shop, soda bar and special events venue hosting 125 events a year. It was an exhausting blast of a business. Hospitality is my jam!

Since then I have traveled to Brazil, Mexico, Bahamas, Hawaii, France, Spain, England, Cuba and DR Congo where I helped to build a school in a rural area. I have many destinations on my wish list and hope to continue to travel till I'm a hundred! My partner Rand has joined me in making this space welcoming for all. He brings 40+ years restaurant management experience and is thrilled to be hosting instead of clocking 25,000. steps a day on his tired feet!

I love being a host (I have the greatest, most interesting and respectful guests you could ever wish for. I have a five star rating on Airbnb and I am Excited to start hosting on VRBO

I also love staying in homes when I travel. I treat any home better than my own and truly appreciate a hosts generosity in sharing their space:-)

Why they chose this property

This home is quite magical. It offers many little corners to sit and enjoy a book, movie, great music on the Sonos speakers or the sound of your family enjoying time together. Five living areas, a huge kitchen, backyard, all provide space to be together or alone.

The neighborhood is outstanding, Historic neighborhood for a stroll, local owned shops, Starbucks is across the parking lot, baseball stadium across from Starbucks, Electric works, promenade park, botanical gardens, Embassy theater and many many great restaurants within 15 min walk. In the summer you can view the stadium fireworks from the back yard:-)

What makes this property unique

The urban setting allows for fun adventures to local brewpubs, restaurants, parks, kayaks, movies, yoga, all without moving your car. The cozy nature of this home helps create lovely memories:-)
