    • ]]>     From the instant I saw The Victorian Guest House in Nappanee, Indiana, I was giddy with excitement and couldn’t wait to get inside!  Gabled and turreted, we somehow managed to drive right by the very large Nappanee, 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.  We had arrived after the usual check-in time, but made arrangements with the manager beforehand, so we simply typed in our entry code and were soon amazed.

    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 The Victorian Guest House in Nappanee, Indiana; Elkhart Countychoose to stay in this room?  I think the picture easily explains it.

    Yes.  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.

    After gaping in awe at the bathroom — which was really huge and really cool — (it even had a stained glass window)  we made our way downstairs to check out what was offered in the dining room.  What a room that was!

    There was an insane 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 beverage from the mini-fridge.  Yes: hot = free, cold = pay.  The Victorian Guest House Dining Room in Nappanee, Indiana.

    Breakfast in the morning was okay.  It started with a pear comfit, an egg casserole that I’m pretty sure I have made myself at home, and a generous slice of chocolate bundt cake.  Good, but not knock-your-socks off good.  I have to admit I was expecting a little more from such a fancy schmancy place.

    The Victorian Guest House is in a terrific location.  Right in downtown Nappanee, hubs and I could easily ditch the car, walk around, even have a drink at the downtown bar together, and stumble make our way back without getting lost and confused about how to get back.  We are a gifted people, us Nunemakers.

    Bottom-line: it is a wonderful home and definitely worth checking out.  They just don’t make them like they used to!

    What is your "must-have" feature when you are looking to stay at a bed and breakfast?  Is it a gourmet meal, easy access, or surprise feature (like a really great bathtub)?
