Historic character, updated comfort: The home dates to 1906 and has been renovated to keep its period charm while adding modern conveniences for a comfortable overnight.

Suite-focused rooms: There are four distinct guest suites—Cherry, Maple, White Oak, and Chestnut—each designed with its own woodwork theme and early-20th-century styling.

Private baths with spa touches: Suites include private bathrooms, and the property highlights jetted tub/shower setups for an easy wind-down after a day out.

In-room essentials: Expect climate control plus cable TV and high-speed internet, with select added conveniences like a refrigerator and coffee maker in the White Oak Suite.

Breakfast and easy parking: A prepared breakfast is part of the experience, and off-street parking helps keep arrivals and departures simple.

Walkable Winona Lake setting: Being near The Village at Winona makes it easy to pair your stay with lakeside strolling, dining, and nearby points of interest like Grace College and the Billy Sunday Museum.

Stairs and upper-floor rooms: With suites on the second and third floors, the layout may not suit guests who prefer to avoid stairs or want elevator access.

Small-property limitations: With only four suites, availability can be tight, and on-site facilities beyond the basics may feel limited compared with larger hotels.
