CENTRAL INDIANA BED & BREAKFASTS A home away from home with more elegance, charm and edibles STORY AND PHOTOS BY JANE SIMON AMMESON

hen the owners of stately homes, full of history and charm, open their doors, inviting us in, they let us partake, even if for just a night or two, of life lived a century or more ago. Stained-glass windows, lustrous hardwoods, marble, turrets, verandas and elegant period furnishings are more than just a lesson in historic architecture, they immerse us in the past. Elegant snacks in the parlor in the evening and breakfasts in grand dining rooms with delicious offerings served on fragile china help make a bed and breakfast experience sublime. Whether in large cities or small towns, Edible Indy has found such keepsakes not far from home.
