    WOW!!!

    November 15, 2011

    I found myself in charge of a small trip for all of my Aunts and Mother who have stayed in Bed and Breakfasts all over the world and I have never stayed in one at all...talk about pressure. After 2 weeks of searching and researching online I finally decided on McKenzie house for our mini vaca. What first drew me to this wonderful place was the huge suite that comfortably slept all 4 of us along with plenty of room to just "hang" out. The second was all of the reviews about Sherri's fabulous cooking and they did not lead me wrong. I loved the "homey" feel of the entire place with the modern decor, the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in and even though we were right off of the freeway and a major road it is landscaped and set in a way where you never hear a car, you feel like you are in the country! All of my family couldnt believe that I had found such a gem on my first try and they all fell in love with the place. Thanks Sherri and Bruce for getting me so many points :) We will be back!!

    Perfect to the last detail

    October 05, 2011

    I stayed with several friends on a getaway weekend. Our hosts were warm and generous with their time, service was impeccable, they did everything they could to make us feel welcome. The rooms were very well appointed and comfortable, extremely clean, more than enough towels and toiletries. Our meals were expertly cooked and delicious, and presented beautifully. The facilities, especially the pool and hot tub with the surrounding patio and porches, made it easy to visit with each other and relax. I have recommended McKenzie house to several people since my stay there!

    August 23, 2011

    If you visit their website you'll see a common phrase they like to use "Come as a guest, leave as a friend", it sounds like a really nice phrase... but it's not just a phrase.. it's a true statement. We rated everything as "outstanding" and we're being completely truthful. There is not one area that I was disapointed with. The rooms were extremely clean and cozy. The bed was exactly how I imagined it would be, soft and comfy. Sherry's breakfast...simply outstanding!!! Their service...... again, outstanding. We had our 6 month old child with us during the stay, one evening we were headed out to the back patio to relax and they offered to babysit our son in the living room for a while so my husband and I could enjoy a little break together. We are telling all of our friends about this place... you have to experience this place! We will definitely be back!

    This is a Gem!

    August 14, 2011

    This B & B is truly a wonderful gem tucked into Northern Indiana ~ the rooms, amenities, hospitality and food were beyond my expectations. Bruce and Sherry are magnificent hosts, with a genuine knack for making you feel as though you have been friends for years. The breakfast was an awesome '10'. I enjoyed tasting some of Indiana's traditional foods ~ baked oatmeal with peaches....mmmmm! Our room was like a picture out of a current decorating magazine and very clean. Bruce and Sherry, all the little extra touches put your B & B over the top! I hope to return.

    WONDERFUL

    July 27, 2011

    This is our second time visiting for a girls get away and we just love staying here. The rooms are very nice and the beds are soooo comfortable. If you want quiet, great food and wonderful conversations with the owners or other guest this is the place. We are coming back in August and bringing our husbands for a romantic get away!!

    Refreshed

    July 12, 2011

    I came to this bed and breakfast in need of some rest and refreshment. I was totally blessed with that and more. The room was so comfortable and very accommodating to my friends and I. The hosts were amazing and the food was absolutely incredible. My friends and I were encouraged and uplifted by Sherry and Bruce. They provided a great place to be refreshed. What a great get away!

    Relaxing Summer Days at McKenzie House

    July 10, 2011

    The decor was beautiful and modern, I slept on a comfy pillow-top mattress. Cooled down in the outdoor pool and jacuzzi. Loved the natural setting, saw a mother bird feeding it's young and heard birds singing. The breakfast was very delicious with many yummy treats to choose from. Bruce and Sherry made me feel welcome and at home. Enjoyed conversation and meeting others there too.
