About this property

Charming 1912 Bungalow in Middlebury Indiana

Filled with character, charm and history. Once the home of the Kenneth Krider family. He played an integral role in Krider Nurseries and established the Krider World's Fair Garden on Bristol Street. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, we comfortably sleep up to 8 guests. The front porch, a delightful spot. The shaded backyard, a peaceful retreat. This blend of history, comfort, and modern amenities, a great place to stay. We are 8 mi. from Shipshewana, and 27 mi. from Notre Dame.

Very cozy and convenient.

It was an easy choice picking to stay here again. A block away from West On Warren and very convenient for our work trip. Plenty of room for us! Appreciate all of the included amenities and the cookies are the best!

Fabulous Hosts - Fabulous Stay

We so much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and spotless. Rose responded immediately to any questions. The extra touches - a coffee bar, extra toothbrushes, cookies from a local bakery to name just a few - are so thoughtful. We’re already planning to book again.

Another great stay at the Bungalow

This was our second stay at the Bungalow, and we enjoyed it as much our first. My group of 8 were traveling to attend a Notre Dame football game and stayed over the weekend. Our experience with the property and the host was excellent. There was great communication, attention to detail, beautifully decorated spaces and even some extras like coffee and cookies that made us fell so welcomed. My entire group wanted to stay longer so we could enjoy more of the property and the surrounding area.

Beautiful home, saved us lots

Beautiful property, felt immediately welcomed with a nice message and a stocked coffee barr, property was perfectly located with ease to all the places we wanted to go. Took advantage of a couple restaurant references and really enjoyed our meals. The home was perfect for our group of 5 and allowed us to enjoy watching the laid back town pass by and even enjoying sitting and doing a puzzle together. Staying at this beautiful home was so comfortable and saved us lots of money if we had to stay at a hotel. This home was so wonderful we would definitely stay here againtime to spend sotting on the porch

Lovely House!

My Mom and daughters and I stayed to celebrate my Mom’s 75th! We had an amazing weekend and we absolutely loved everything about this house! From the ribboned towels to the fresh baked welcome cookies to all the little extras! We can tell the owners put so much thought into the decor, stocking the kitchen and overall making us feel right at home. We will definitely be back!

I can't say enough about this bungalow-it was so clean and well decorated (for Christmas!) and we just loved staying there. The upstairs bathroom is quite small however there is a bigger one downstairs so it worked out well for us. Easily walkable to restaurants, park, etc.

What a gem!

We loved our stay at the Bungalow on Brown. We felt right at home. It was supplied with everything we needed and more. Many thoughtful touches that helped us feel so comfortable. The night we arrived we were able to sit on the back deck and watch the fireflies! There was a festival across the street that was fun to see. We cooked a family dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to this area.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Rose

Host profile image
My husband is a semi-retired Agronomist and I am a Sr. Sales Director with Mary Kay. We both have an eye for detail and love to host, whether in our home or in our STR properties. We also have 2 STR properties in Hilton Head and 1 in Sisters Oregon. They are all unique and different and we enjoy them all.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I, we purchased this bungalow in July of 2022. We fell in love with it and have lovingly updated it and filled it with items that we love. It is a fairly large, open house with lots of interesting built-ins and unique closet space, along with beautiful, original windows upstairs. It was built in 1912, and is amazinly open on the main floor. We are located in downtown Middlebury, 1 block from the pumpkin vine nature trail, where you can ride your bike or hike to Shipshewana or Goshen. Shipshewana is about an 8 mile drive. Goshen is about an 8 mile drive as well. Notre Dame is about a 27 drive.

What makes this property unique

I love our front porch. It takes me back to days of my childhoodl, where we would gather on the swing and talk and laugh with our neighbors. I love our back yard. It is shaded, semi private, with a deck, lights, grill and adirondack chairs to relax in. I love the serinity of our home. I hope that when you enter, you will feel the quiet comfort of knowig that this is a place you can shake off all the worries of the outside world.
