  • 4 Indiana B&Bs Named in Top 30 by Midwest Living magazine

4 Indiana B&Bs Named in Top 30 by Midwest Living magazine

By Visit Indiana on April 30, 2011
Back

The May/June 2011 issue of Midwest Living magazine features the Top 30 bed and breakfast destinations in America’s midwest. Four Indiana bed & breakfasts made the list. They include:

Stonebridge Inn and Spa, Batesville


Beiger Mansion, Mishawaka


Songbird Prairie B&B, Valparaiso
Schenck Mansion B&B, Vevay

The selections were made by a group of Midwest Living’s on-staff editors and more than 40 professional freelance travel writers, who spent more than a year researching B&Bs.   To be considered, a B&B had to offer rooms inside of a home for overnight visits, the rooms must have private baths, and the B&B had to serve a homemade breakfast.  Inns, boutique hotels and resorts were not part of the research.

In 18 months, the editors and writers stayed at more than 100 B&Bs in the Midwest. They used report cards created specifically to rate each stay. The report card asked the writers to rank on a scale of 1 to 10 the following:

  • the décor
  • the owners’ approach to hospitality
  • the quality of the room amenities
  • the quality of the food served
  • the food’s presentation
  • the atmosphere in the B&B and at breakfast

The report card also asked whether anything detracted from the stay. The highest-scoring B&Bs made the list that appears in the May/June issue of the magazine, which is available on newsstands until June 21, 2011.
