Art and Lodging

We arrived in the evening and stayed only one night due to personal circumstances, but we would love to visit again for a longer stay. We were pleased with the friendliness of the hostess and the ease of communicating with her by phone and text. We enjoyed waking up in our comfortable and cozy room, decorated with charming artwork and literary proverbs, and browsing other spaces and nooks in the house with inviting art and book collections. We barely skimmed what's on offer in this venerable house and would love to return for a longer stay.

A bit of a challenge to find as the house numbers are a bit small but delightful once located.

We were coming to visit my brother and family in South Bend, and we thought to try out a new venue rather than simply a hotel. We're very glad we did. This house is beautiful, literally an art gallery and a living gem. In spite of some miscommunication between Hotels.com and the property (didn't get an email for the code to unlock the door due to a break in communication between Hotels.com and the property) we got in contact very quickly with the property manager and were delighted with the interior of the house. We wish we had more time to simply sit and take in the entire place. Our room was clean and well-maintained. If you love older houses in South Bend, you will not be disappointed here at Art and Lodging. It was also very quiet, a nice place to relax and enjoy the ambience.

I only was there for about 7hrs, as I drove in from the Ann Arbor area for an early morning tournament. The price was right. Just enough space for me. And it was a beautifully decorated historic home. Plus it was convenient to the Century Center.

I feel comfortable here and enjoyed the stay

Beautiful home, easy self-check in, spacious room (thankfully blue room had private bath as I didn't even think that this might not be an option. Lol), well equipped kitchen if needed, and everything appeared to be well cleaned and taken care of. Will gladly stay here again.

Home was very clean and my room was wonderful.

I never received correspondence telling me how to gain access to the property (code to unlock the front door), where to find towels or how to navigate the television remote controls. I was lucky enough to run into another guest, who told me to check my spam folder for a message containing these and other details. Alas, no message was received. I did get a text with a screen shot containing the access code, but nothing else of value. I did, however, receive the news that the water heater was not working. The offer to allow me to cancel without charge was not comforting, considering it got to my phone as I arrived at the property. All of which made the fact that I could not lock the door to my room not surprising at all. So, except for the absence of a code to enter the property, the inability to lock my room, the lack of warm water and no idea how to use the tv, everything was fine.
