Hostess, Stephanie, was wonderful. She accommodated our last minute stay, provided us with dining reservations, and prepared a delicious breakfast! We highly recommend Innesfree.

The place was charming, the breakfast was delicious, the water pressure in the shower was perfect, and the mattress was so comfortable. I enjoyed my stay tremendously and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful venue to celebrate a graduation plus enjoy a long-awaited family reunion. Booking the entire Inn gave us flexibility and space to enjoy the weekend. Owner Stephanie is great, responsive to requests and easy to work with.

Everything was as expected. The rooms were great and the breakfast was delicious with coffee ready for early risers. It was like being home with 3 rooms on the first floor for just sitting and visiting.

Beautiful property that my husband and I had to unfortunately cancel due to a last minute work schedule issue. Stephanie was exceptionally gracious and allowed us to cancel without a penalty. Definitely plan to return at a later date!

Spent the night in the Schocklehorne Suite. Very spacious had the whole third floor to ourselves. Nice shower and jet tub for relaxing. Good for a couples getaway or families seeing there are extra beds. Breakfast the next day was aero mar with plenty of fruit a sun dried tomato quiche, and a Nutella pastry among other things. Stephanie definitely made our stay comfortable and easy

The Innisfree is stunningly beautiful and kept in pristine condition. The historic charm is excellently maintained. The BEST part is the wonderful hospitality shown by innkeeper, Stephanie!

Incredible place to stay! We stayed on the top floor- the jet tub was amazing! Everything was very clean. We could clearly see the care and hard work put into providing comfort and complimentary things! Everything was thought of from the quality toilet paper to the fall themed table cloth on our breakfast table. Wonderful garden and flowers all around! I absolutely recommend and hope to come back!

We were very well informed and got all the information that we needed. The host kept us in the know, just wish we had more interaction with the host, also wish there was a hot breakfast during the week

Loved staying at Innisfree for my Notre Dame reunion experience. The house is beautiful and the Innkeeper is not only organized and hard-working but beautiful and welcoming. My room was waiting for me and very Celtic!! The food is good too! I can't wait to come back here for my next trip to a home ND football game!

Innisfree B&B was a great place to stay in South Bend for a stopover on our road trip to Minneapolis. We contacted Cindy to say we would be late checking in and she got back to us right away, saying we could let ourselves in with a locked keypad. The driveway is long and wide and can fit several cars. We felt the neighborhood was safe enough to leave most of our luggage and a bike in the car. After a 12-hour drive, all we wanted was a comfortable, clean accommodation, which is exactly what we got. We stayed in the Seamus Room which was beautifully decorated and fine for the two of us.

Pros: Great central location in South Bend. - Easy to get to with good parking. - Very pretty home with unique antiques. - Large third floor to accommodate families. Cons: uneven heating (very hot downstairs but cold on third floor). - Odd arrangement of shower/bath but folding screens were available to use for privacy. - No room key available to look the room when you leave - only locked from the inside. - The daybed that one of my children slept on only had blankets & a fitted sheet, no top sheet. - The weekday "continental breakfast" was very disappointing. Partially full or nearly

BEWARE the manager and owner of this establishment kind of scam you by contradicting one another. One told me I was ok rescheduling and the other charged me a huge fee of a couple hundred bucks AFTER the date had passed and I was no longer able to use the reservation. According to travel reviews, I'm not the first they've pulled this on. Thank goodness my credit card company sided with me.

My sister and I stay here when we return to South Bend (where we grew up) for family functions - Innisfree has become our second home while in South Bend. In fact, we just threw a small 80th birthday for our father - and we had a small post-reception in the parlor rooms at Innisfree to accommodate a group that could not attend a dinner earlier in the night. The owner, Cindy, is a gem. She makes us feel at home in her home with the just the right balance of fuss and freedom. Unlike some B&Bs, you have privacy in this spacious inn. Cindy manages the property with perfection, attention, good taste

I checked out of Innisfree this morning after a 1 night stay. It had some pros and cons - though really, which places don't? - but the former certainly outweigh the latter, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone spending the night (or a few) in South Bend. I'll take you through my experience as briefly as I can (which probably won't be very briefly):

-Pro: PLENTY of parking. Seems like a very safe neighborhood. Very nice looking house. Awesome front door keypad which makes getting in and out very easy and safe. Ramp along the house to the parking area so you

Over the last decade, my family has conducted something of a tour of small Midwestern towns, and we prefer B&B's over hotels. Even in small town America, the hotel market has consolidated to just a few large chains where every hotel is like every other one. But B&B's still reliably offer the kind of personal touches that allow one to feel at home while away.

Of the dozens of B&B's we've tried, Innisfree is the one to which we always return. We've stayed multiple times each year since 2007 or so. I've stayed in three different rooms, and each has its

My wife and I stayed here last winter. It was a great weekend getaway for the both of us and it was reasonably priced. Each room had a particular theme that tied into the Irish neighborhood. We enjoyed the great hospitality by the staff the whole time. My wife particularly liked the breakfast we were served in the morning. I liked how we were not rushed to leave.
