About this house rental
Retreat from the hustle and bustle at this peaceful and centrally-located apartment. Located in the lovely historic neighborhood of Lakeside, the guest house is a short walk to Lakeside Park and Rose Gardens as well as downtown Fort Wayne.
As part of a recent restoration of an historic home, the Lake Avenue Guest House is an attached apartment that provides everything you'll need for a comfortable weekend away or home-base for your business trip. All the amenities you desire wrapped up in the character of its history.
Settle into your soft leather furniture to watch the game or your favorite movie on the Hulu-equipped, Roku Smart TV. Enjoy a card game or a jigsaw puzzle from the armoire to relax after a long day of work or sight-seeing.
Your kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'll need (including three different types of coffee-makers!) and a personal-chef may be available for booking ahead of time.
Up the stairway, you'll find a fresh and bright bathroom with luxurious tile shower. Your bedroom is furnished with a cozy, medium-firm, king-sized bed with plenty of pillows and high-end bedding. Our guests have told us how hard it is to get out of bed in the morning! The walk-in closet provides a shelf just for your luggage. You'll also find plenty of hangers, a full-sized ironing board, iron, and portable fan there for your convenience. Enjoy a movie on the large Roku Smart TV as you drift off to sleep.
Across the hall, you'll find our library which is equipped with a comfortable twin bed and equally comfortable trundle pull-out. If you're travelling with little ones, we can provide a pack and play upon request. Each bedroom is equipped with a white-noise machine and ceiling fan.
You'll be in complete control of the temperature of your space with a thermostat in the living room. And should you need to do laundry while you're here, you've been provided with full-sized machines and detergent hidden away in your apartment.
In your down time. take a little walk to our beautiful neighborhood rose gardens or award-winning coffee shop, stroll through our historic neighborhood or if you're up for a longer outing, take a walk across the bridge to our amazing local downtown restaurants! Jump in the car and make the short drive to our famous Fort Wayne Children's Zoo--it's great for adults, too!
Enjoy your stay!

Very clean and nice, just like the listing. Very family friendly - we took our almost 2 year old. We all had a very nice time.

6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The space was very clean and beautifully remodeled...lots of thoughtful details were included. My overall rating was just "OK" because of what is perhaps a misunderstanding on my part for the use of the word "guest house", Guest houses, to me, are separate dwelling behind a main home but perhaps to others and when filtering by "whole house", what we stayed in was unexpected. The description does describe "apartment' but the additional use of "guest house" and the filtering, as well as the subtitle, led to an expectation other than what we found. When choosing VRBO, I expected an entire house and that is actually what the subtitle says. This is a duplex that, although it doesn't technically have shared space, it does have two adjoining doors, one of which had no notable lock from "our side" which felt a bit insecure and tainted the stay. Additionally, the doors did not block sound from the adjoining living space and TV, talking, coughing and a dog were heard throughout our stay. Hearing others distracted a lot from the anticipated "entire house" of the listing. We stayed because we were only there for a short time but if it were a longer stay or if I were alone, I would have tried to find something else. The smart lock was very temperamental. All that said, if you know what you are getting and are fine with that, this is a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood and the hosts have provided multiple touches to add to a comfortable stay. The library is amazing!
