Pet/Family Friendly Home w/Master Loft

The best group trips have a rhythm to them. Slow mornings that turn into long afternoons. Someone in the kitchen, someone on the porch, everyone ending up in the same room by evening without anyone planning it that way. This house is built for that.

It's a century-old home in New Haven — three floors, five bedrooms, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, the kind of woodwork that reminds you they used to actually build things. It's been updated where it matters, but it still has that settled, unhurried feeling that's hard to find and easy to sink into.

The main floor is open and easy — living room, dining area, and kitchen all flowing together so nobody's isolated.

The kitchen is stocked for real cooking: full appliances, pots and pans, pantry staples, a coffee setup that works however you take it. When the evening calls for it, the back porch and gas grill are ready.

Eleven people sleep comfortably across five rooms — a king, two queens, a bunk room the kids will race to claim, and a twin room that rounds it out. Three floors means everyone has space when they want it and somewhere to gather when they don't.

Pets are welcome. No figuring out what to do with the dog.

Downtown Fort Wayne is fifteen minutes away — good restaurants, things to do, the Children's Zoo if you've got little ones in tow. But some trips don't need much of an itinerary.

Sometimes the whole point is a long dinner, a slower morning, and one more night that nobody was quite ready to end.
