About this property

Penthouse Apartment in Historic Mansion | City Views

There's something different about staying somewhere with real history behind it. The McCulloch Mansion has been standing since 1843, and the penthouse on the top floor still carries that weight — high ceilings, rooms that breathe, and a quietness that makes it easy to remember what it feels like to actually slow down.

Wake up, make coffee, and take your time. No agenda, no rush. The kitchen is ready when you want it, the beds are comfortable, and with three bedrooms sleeping up to six, nobody's drawing straws for the good room.

Do laundry, cook a real meal, settle in like you live here — because for a few nights, you do.
When you're ready to get out, downtown Fort Wayne delivers more than most people expect. Good food, cold drinks, and a historic district worth wandering.

But the part that sticks with most people is coming back — climbing to the top floor, sinking into a place with nearly two centuries of character beneath it, and realizing this is exactly the kind of space you didn't know you needed.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.
This smoke-free apartment features kayaking nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The apartment was very nice and very clean. We did have some trouble getting into the apartment initially, but the host was wonderful with communicating with us and got us squared away. Overall a great place to stay.

This is the nearest place ever! If you love historic places, you will love this. Read up on the history of this mansion; it's fascinating! The rental was super clean, exactly as pictured, very modern, and comfortable. Be aware there are a lot of steps, but this was not an issue for us. The rental is near plenty of things to do, also. I want to comment on the hosts: these are the absolute sweetest people you will ever communicate with. They are both extremely kind, accommodating, and truly want you to have a good experience. They also reply almost immediately if you have any questions. They truly added to the magic of our experience.
