Washington Street Inn

Bluffton, Indiana.

Step back in time in our 1896 Victorian home. Take your leisure, relax, enjoy a good night's sleep on down comforters, then savor coffee or choice of many teas and a scrumptious breakfast served with genuine Hoosier Hospitality.

Bed and Breakfast Description

When you walk through the front door of the Washington Street Inn B&B, you immediately notice the excellent wood craftsmanship. From the solid cherry staircase to the two cherry trimmed fireplaces to the one chimney with a stained glass window in the middle, pride and craftsmanship are obvious. Sit on either the front or side porch and enjoy a beverage or gather on the patio in the back yard and enjoy the flowers.

This Victorian home, built in 1896, offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms located on the second floor. Guests have access to their own second floor kitchenette (full sized refrigerator, microwave, table and chairs) and sitting room filled with antiques and area attraction reading, as well as the downstairs living and dining areas, front porch, side porch, and fenced in back yard. Each bedroom has a telephone and television set. Off-street parking is available directly behind the inn.

If you want to get some exercise take a stroll on the River Greenway (only 2 blocks away), which follows the Wabash River out to the Oubache State Park, about 4 miles away. We are located only 2 blocks from the downtown area where you can get a bite to eat or perhaps do some antique shopping. For a bit of pampering an in house massage may be arranged by a professional.

Come, relax, enjoy, and see what a friendly small town really has to offer.
