The Avanti Houses

If you are looking for a nice place to sleep, this is the place for you. They have a kitchen and a bathroom that are quite small but do their job. It’s clearly an older house, but is really well maintained. Everything was clearly labeled and it’s easy to find your room. Only thing is you have to deal with other people, so if you are expecting a house to yourself you would be wrong.

Stayed in The Loft at 131 Chapin. Code access worked perfectly. Extremely clean. We were happy to have a decent sized refrigerator to keep tailgate food cold. Loved having a Keurig in the room and microwave. We had everything we needed in this spacious and charming loft. Loved it.

I am familiar with the area and this house was convenient for everything I needed while I was in town.

I liked the house, very clean, safe, interesting and comfortable. The check in instructions were written for someone who was familiar with the house and rooms. The very nice guest in room #7 helped a lot. Cassandra was very good, and nice.

It was very cute! It is an older house so the floors creak, the only issue we had was someone turned the AC off at one point and our room got pretty warm becsuse it was a shared temperature.

Nice quiet lodging at a reasonable rate. We attended the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game ... convenient drive to the football stadium.

It's a little "old-fashioned boarding house" mixed with AirBnB, but it really is worth a stay in this historic house, turned hotel. It's not a traditional hotel, with a check-in desk and staff in-house, and it's an old house with smallish bedrooms, shared bathroom facilities, and creaky wooden floors and stairs. I thought it was charming enough to make up for it. The house is chocked-full of memorbilia for the Studebaker Avanti automobile - advertisements, new articles, art, models, photographs. An irreplaceable collection. Located across the street from the Studebaker museum and within walking distance of the South Bend Cubs baseball field and some restaurants and breweries.

The only down side was the size of the bedroom which is typical of bed and breakfasts. We really appreciated the new bed and personal attention.

The property was as described. It had a lot of memorabilia related to the Avanti. There were simple selections for a self serve breakfast and snacks. There was a medium size fridge in our room. The queen bed was very saggy in the center. My husband slept there. I slept in the twin bed which was better, but I had air blowing on my face everytime the ac kicked on with no way to adjust the vent. There was a nice sitting room available.
