Indiana Bed and Breakfast: The Victorian Guest House
Nov 10th, 2009 | By Jessica Nunemaker | Category: Bed and Breakfasts, Nappanee, Stay, little TownsFrom the instant I saw The Victorian Guest House in Nappanee, Indiana, I was giddy with excitement. I couldn’t wait to get inside and see it!
Nappanee, Indiana Bed and Breakfast
Nappanee, Indiana: Victorian Guest House Bed and Breakfast
Gabled and turreted, we somehow managed to drive right by this very large Indiana bed and breakfast. Oops. My navigating skills may leave something to be desired.
Anyway, from the outside, The Victorian Guest House was absolutely beautiful…and pink. Very, very pink.
Our Room at The Victorian Guest House
Lovely etched glass doors led into an entryway with fantastically gorgeous woodwork along an impressive staircase. Our room was at the top of the stairs: The Coppes Suite.
Why did we choose to stay in this room? I think the picture above easily explains it.
The tub was that huge. Original to the house and in excellent condition, it is capable of holding 65 gallons of water with plenty of room for two. I totally felt like a Princess.

Nappanee, Indiana: The Victorian Guest House Dining Room
We made our way downstairs to check out what was offered in the dining room. What a room that was!
There was a massive amount of woodwork here as well as an incredible carved table and chairs. My photos just do NOT do it justice.
I picked through numerous teas while hubs ponied up for a cold pop (or soda as he says) from the mini-fridge.
Breakfast the next morning started with a pear comfit, an egg casserole that I’m pretty sure I have made myself at home, and a generous slice of Milk Chocolate Bundt Cake.
The Victorian Guest House is in a terrific location. Right in the quaint Indiana town of Nappanee, hubs and I could easily ditch the car, walk around, and make our way back without getting lost and confused about how to get back.

It is a wonderful home and definitely worth checking out. They just don’t make them like they used to!

I LOVE B&B’s. They are a passion of mine. I used to peruse the web just looking at them all across the country. This one looks super! One of my favorite features is a clawfoot tub. Right in the room!!!! It’s hard to find but they exist.
I just don’t like it when B&B’s are too Grandma like and wicker everywhere or when it seems like someone just took their house and called it a B&B with no charm.
Thanks for sharing in my SITS day on 10/29. I am STILL playing catch up!
This sounds like a wonderful B&B. I have only stayed in two B&Bs and it is about time I stay in a third. Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
I love B&Bs! Surprised to hear it was entirely pink! I do love the bathtub. Actually lately whenever we travel, I look for a big tub for two (we used to have a tiny tub in our apt. and now just have a shower stall, that’s why I guess).
Oh, it was definitely big enough for two — and with room to spare! 65 gallons is a LOT of water.
I would hate having just a shower and no bath tub! I feel for you!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
I’ve only stayed in one B&B, but it was fabulous. It was in Kennebunkport and the decor and food were amazing. I have heard mixed reviews about B&B’s from a lot of people. I guess a good thing to do is check online at places like Trip Advisor or just Google the B&B to see if there are reviews. It does look like a pretty place that you stayed.
Be careful where you read! I once took on a client (I do social media) who wanted me to write a BUNCH of fake reviews for Trip Advisor and Yelp as to how wonderful his wedding venue was…of course I said no and I found a new client. No, it wasn’t in Indiana.
If anyone writes something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
That is part of the reason I began little Indiana. I wanted people to have a place they can turn to for honest reviews.
We never stayed at a B&B yet, but it’s on my list of places to go “some day.”
Congrats on your SITS day.
