    Mary Helen's is a Christian establishment located in Batesville, Indiana. If you are seeking a romantic get away or just need a peaceful time for reflection, then look no further... we are that destination. You will find an intimate atmosphere filled with beautiful scenery and delicious food. We serve both as a bed & breakfast year round and offer fine dining on Friday and Saturday evenings. Our private 5 course dinner is a unique experience served at a leisurely pace leaving ample time between courses to enjoy great food and good conversation in a cozy, peaceful environment. So whether you are interested in a nights stay, a night of dining, combination of both or even a complete package that includes a massage, we can make accommodations.

    Relaxing birthday stay

    May 01, 2013

    Our stay at Mary Helen's was wonderful. Jacuzzi tub and massage arrangement was relaxing. The five course dinner was delicious, as was breakfast - all home made by Jim and Cindy. Beautiful scenery and welcoming hosts. We would definately recommend you stay here!

    Just what the Doctor Ordered

    April 08, 2013

    My husband and I both enjoyed the stay at Mary Helen's. The picture of the place is gorgeous, but it is even better in real life. We were welcomed by Jim and Cindy, most wonderful hosts. The meals were fabulous, and we also received the massage which was wonderful. It was a most relaxing and enjoyable weekend, "just what the doctor ordered" for us.

    Girlfriends getaway

    January 30, 2013

    What a great place to meet my best friend!!! Batesville is only 1 hour from Indianapolis and Cincinnati so what a great place to meet up with a girlfriend and catch up on all of the important stuff of life. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous and the hospitality and food were to die for. Loved every minute of it!!!

    We were in Indiana in early January and found a home away from home. The accommodations were wonderful as were our breakfasts. Outshining it all, however, was the hospitality! Thank you Jim and Cindy...remember two people in Texas sure do love you!

    A Perfect Getaway

    January 20, 2013

    Your standard will be set very high when staying at Mary Helen's B & B. As you drive back to the house you're reminded of a Thomas Kincade painting. Then when you meet Jim & Cindy and see how welcoming they are, you know you have made the right choice. The room we had was very spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast they prepared for us was fabulous. There are many special touches throughout the house to make people feel "at home". It's apparent that Jim & Cindy welcome guests into their home with open arms and open hearts. Mary Helen's is a perfect getaway and a wonderful experience and we WILL be returning.

    Storybook Setting

    January 06, 2013

    When you drive up the lane leading back to the picturesque lake and storybook log home you know you have made a great decision .When you enter the home and see the wood beams, stone fireplace and beautiful wood floors you think that this place is perfect. Next you walk up the solid wood stairs to your perfectly decorated room and you think that you have found the best B&B ever . Then you realize that the home pales in comparison to the hospitality and pampering that you get from Jim and Cindy and you know this one is "THE BEST".

    A Hidden Gem

    December 16, 2012

    Some good friends introduced us to Mary Helen's B&B, and we have now stayed there three times. Jim and Cindy, the innkeepers, are such gracious hosts. The B&B itself is stunning--the grounds are immaculate and the guest rooms are very nice. To top it off, the B&B offers a four-course meal on the weekends and the food is amazing. We would highly recommend that you visit this hidden gem.

    A drive past the pond

    December 03, 2012

    When we entered the property, drove past the pond and saw the house, we knew the trip was worth it. The breakfast was delicious, room was beautiful and the hosts made us feel welcome. We'll go back.
