Historic Urban Retreat Fit for a KING!

Retreat from the hustle and bustle at this peaceful and centrally-located apartment. Located in the lovely historic neighborhood of Lakeside, the guest house is a short walk to Lakeside Park and Rose Gardens as well as downtown Fort Wayne.

As part of a recent restoration of an historic home, the Lake Avenue Guest House is an attached apartment that provides everything you'll need for a comfortable weekend away or home-base for your business trip. All the amenities you desire wrapped up in the character of its history.

Settle into your soft leather furniture to watch the game or your favorite movie on the Hulu-equipped, Roku Smart TV. Enjoy a card game or a jigsaw puzzle from the armoire to relax after a long day of work or sight-seeing.

Your kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'll need (including three different types of coffee-makers!) and a personal-chef may be available for booking ahead of time.

Up the stairway, you'll find a fresh and bright bathroom with luxurious tile shower. Your bedroom is furnished with a cozy, medium-firm, king-sized bed with plenty of pillows and high-end bedding. Our guests have told us how hard it is to get out of bed in the morning! The walk-in closet provides a shelf just for your luggage. You'll also find plenty of hangers, a full-sized ironing board, iron, and portable fan there for your convenience. Enjoy a movie on the large Roku Smart TV as you drift off to sleep.

Across the hall, you'll find our library which is equipped with a comfortable twin bed and equally comfortable trundle pull-out. If you're travelling with little ones, we can provide a pack and play upon request. Each bedroom is equipped with a white-noise machine and ceiling fan.

You'll be in complete control of the temperature of your space with a thermostat in the living room. And should you need to do laundry while you're here, you've been provided with full-sized machines and detergent hidden away in your apartment.

In your down time. take a little walk to our beautiful neighborhood rose gardens or award-winning coffee shop, stroll through our historic neighborhood or if you're up for a longer outing, take a walk across the bridge to our amazing local downtown restaurants! Jump in the car and make the short drive to our famous Fort Wayne Children's Zoo--it's great for adults, too!

Enjoy your stay!

A Quaint Place!
The neighborhood seemed nice, and the apartment itself was very cute. We loved the style, and all the decor. Everything was super accommodating from check in, the stay, and check out. We only stayed one night, but if I am back in the area I would definitely stay again! The popcorn and chocolates were a nice treat! Thank you for your generosity!
