Tom and I sold most of what we had,  made a life change, and packed up our things and moved here to South Bend.  We love being Innkeepers! Living in downtown South Bend is great. Fabulous dining and entertainment all within walking distance.   Great museums and other family fun places, like Coveleski Stadium and the East Race!

If you get the chance to come and stay with us, we would welcome the opportunity to show you some hospitality!

We are glad we live in this historic neighborhood!

The seven Loops of the trail sweep from Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes to areas known for sparkling inland lakes, past the Golden Dome of Notre Dame and onto roads where horse-drawn Amish buggies seem to outnumber cars.

South Bend is in the center of all the excitement! Come and see all the awesome treasures here in Northern Indiana!

We use CF light bulbs wherever possible , we recycle just about everything we can, we use green cleaning products and laundry soap and we have energy efficient appliances. We use quick dry towels to save on energy, and have switched to a new environmentally friendly shampoos with a 92% waste reduction over the packaging of  our previous shampoos.

We buy locally and keep our errands condensed so we use less gasoline. We encourage our guests to walk to local attractions  and resturants to save on their gas also.

We bake and cook nearly everything from scratch, saving on packaging products and using more natural ingredients.

What are some ways you are making green choices in your community?
