This is in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne, with a Starbucks in our backyard, numerous dining options in the vicinity, and activities in all directions.

I am always available via the App messaging platform, and can be on property in minutes. Neighborhood overview: West Central downtown is a magical space where people with souls reside. Sure, you can grab a tan cookie-cutter spot out in the burbs and care about the lawn, but why would you? This is where history, art, and friends meet. The West Central Neighborhood encompasses all of downtown west of Calhoun Street, the heart of West Central is its urban residential area, the development of which began as early as the 1830s. Because of the historic and architectural significance of this area, the West Central Neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and was designated as a Local Historic District as early as 1985. The West Central Neighborhood was named the “Best Old House Neighborhood” in Indiana in 2010 by “This Old House Magazine.” The north side of the Neighborhood, along Berry and Wayne streets and Washington Boulevard, was where many of the City’s most prominent families built large, stylish homes. On the south side, situated between West Jefferson Boulevard and the former Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, exists a collection of modest, small-scale cottages arranged along narrow, tree-lined, brick streets. Many workers for the businesses and various industries stretching along the south side of the tracks resided in this area. The area opens into downtown, with restaurants, shops, and countless ways to get lost in the city. The Historic Sion Bass House straddles the edge of the neighborhood and downtown. You can be out the door and on an adventure in minutes. Getting around: Parking is steps away just in back of the building. We are on every major bus route in the city, and simply strolling distance to all downtown has to offer. Other things to note: In the summer, there is a large festival every single weekend. Our library is magnificent, and boasts the best genealogy department East of the Mississippi River (second in the nation, behind only Salt Lake City). The Barr Street Farmers Market every Saturday morning in the summer is a must see. You can be in the middle of everything in minutes.

The place was pretty nice but the pictures are VERY misleading and do not represent what you will be getting. What you actually get is a bedroom with an attached bathroom, which has no door. There are two other units upstairs (walls are thin as paper and doors slam loudly and echo) and there is a common area downstairs.
*Pic 1 is not the same room, the only thing similar is the bed is the same style. The furnishings are not that new looking either.
*Pic 2 is correct, but taken at a deceiving angle. Look
closely and you will notice there is no door
*Pic 3 does not exist in this rental.
The other thing is it is on a VERY busy road and it sounds like people drag racing all night long.
One last item, mentioned only for others, is the brick walkway leading to the front door is very uneven and would be dangerous for the elderly or someone with any physical conditions.
It wasn't an awful stay, but was not at all as expected or as represented by the images. We won't be booking this place in the future.

Very cool historic house. The Sion Bass Suite had everything you need for an overnight stay or longer, just as advertised. Awesome antique furniture, especially the canopy bed. Old, old places with modern updates are always the best way to go !! Communication with host Mike was easy as was the check-in and check-out process. Very close to downtown venues and safe neighborhoods for walking. Lots of great restaurants, breweries, parks, and walking trails. Ft Wayne is a great place to visit so we plan to go back and will stay at the house again if we can. Go check it out

I would stay there again, and I would recommend to friends. Room was clean. Bed was super comfortable! There is a table area downstairs where you can play a card game or do a puzzle. The outside could use a bit of TLC, but we were there in early spring, so they probably didn't get a chance to get to it, yet.

Nice place, but the cleaning can be better
The location and place looks great, but there were a lot of hairs in the bathroom when we arrived and the towels smelled, so they weren’t clean as well.

Perfect Overnight Stay
So glad I picked this as our option for a quick road trip. We loved the comfy room, and enjoyed a local restaurant! I really wanted a hot tub for this trip so the jacuzzi tub in the room was a great substitute for that. If I’m ever in town again I’d love to come back.

Nice!
The place was very clean, the bed very comfortable.
The outside grounds were not inviting with weedy flower beds.
In spite of that we enjoyed our stay at the Sion Bass House.

A step back in history
This is a beautiful, historic setting to stay in Fort Wayne. I enjoyed the history of the house and the pictures and furniture and period ambiance. It was quiet and peaceful. Being winter, I especially enjoyed the fireplace in the room. I could easily walk from the Sion Bass House to the convention center and back. I'd love to come back in the spring/summer and see the garden, walkway area better. I would stay here again.
Unfortunately, my towels smelled a little musty, the pillows did not smell fresh, and the room was not as clean as expected (found a tissue and a used spa soap container, as well as guides to Fort Wayne from 2016 in the drawers).
Nevertheless, it was a wonderful place to stay and I would recommend the room and the place to others.

We had a great experience.
The building is historic and very charming. Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the jacuzzi tub and fireplace. It made for a wonderful get away for my husband and I. Only suggestion would be disposable cups for the bathroom, and a sheer or something over the bath window. No privacy issue, just bright light from the street. Good location, walking distance to restaurants. We were very pleased and will recommend to others.

Good location, pretty historical home
Love older homes and this did not disappoint. Unfortunately the room faced front of street and cars continued to make noise past midnight. Made it difficult to fall/stay asleep. Also room could use pull down shades to block more of the lights from bldg across street.
Bed was Very comfortable😊

Quaint and historic
Our Sion Bass guestroom was large and comfortable, except for the bright lights outside at night. Traffic noise took some getting used to, especially since our room faced the street. The bed was terrific, the coded entry keypads were great, and the host communicated exceptionally well.

Beautiful historic home
The room is quite nice and its such an affordable but comfortable option if you are looking to stay in the downtown area.

Comfortable stay in a great location.
We were in Fort Wayne to do research at the Allen County Library, so what better place to stay than a historic home only two blocks away! Our room was clean and the bed was very comfy. Having separate shower and toilet area was ideal. A electric fireplace was a charming addition in the nicely furnished room. There was plenty of space to open suitcases and still have room to walk around, there was even a small fridge in the room. Coffee was provided downstairs in the main area along with some yummy cookies. Sion Bass in a great location for walking to the area restaurants and coffee shops. Being an older home we were worried that sounds would carry through the walls but that was not the case at all. The only draw back being an older home one could not open the windows and to let fresh air in. We will certainly stay there again when we return to Fort Wayne. No need to spend high dollar for the chain hotels a block away when you can relax in a charming historic home.

Great atmosphere in the heart of downtown
My wife and I were in town for a conference at the Grand Wayne. The house is in such a great place and close to so much of downtown. We will definitely be staying again.

Beautiful, comfortable and quaint
This property was everything I expected it to be. The home is beautiful and tastefully decorated to match its era. The location is perfect! It’s close to the downtown nightlife but still quiet enough to retreat to when it’s time to turn in for the night. The room had a two person jacuzzi tub, a fireplace and a gorgeous king size bed that makes for a wonderfully romantic getaway.
I would highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here the next time I’m in Fort Wayne!
