STUMBLED on this place while driving north to chicago. Thank god for nav. Arrived at 11:30pm and the sweet imkeeper was kind and welcoming. Was the day after new year and we had the whole place to ourselves! A bit creepy but we were laughing about it and felt like we owned the house which was very warm and cozy.... More

We looked in at all of the rooms and there was not a bad one in the bunch. We stayed in the Clementine suite which was beautiful and comfortable. The Inn location is excellent and is within walking distance to almost every site you might want to explore. We did not take the car out once the entire weekend because... More

The inn at Irwin gardens is nothing short of delightful. The innkeepers friendly but unobtrusive, the location means that everything is a short walk away.

We are Columbus natives home for Christmas and celebrating our anniversary. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and our hosts made us feel so comfortable. The breakfast also was great. More

Okay, so we haven't stayed in them all. But if there is a better B&B less than a year old, we'd like to hear about it. Inn? Museum? Historic landmark? It's all of those and more. Built in 1860, the former mansion of banker Joseph I. Irwin is located in the heart of downtown Columbus IN, itself a Midwestern jewel... More
