Introduction
Welcome to our 19th century home on the old Wynkoop farmstead in LaPorte, Indiana. This historic farmhouse blends vernacular Federal style architecture and craftsmanship with modern comfort, convenience, and environmentally conscious practices. The upstairs bedrooms and deck overlook gardens, a meadow, and farmlands inhabited by deer, woodchucks, rabbits, wild turkeys and other birds and wildlife. We offer private, family-friendly hospitality in a graceful, natural setting-a great base from which to tour the surrounding area.
Easily accessed from both Interstates 80/90 and 94 and situated a short distance from Lake Michigan beaches, shopping, recreational facilities, farms and vineyards, we are

Hosts José and Christine Rosario
Welcome, local and international travelers, to our lovingly restored and renovated farmhouse "by the side of the road," complete with red barn and outbuildings originally acquired in 1991. Educators by profession, José is bilingual in Spanish/English and Christine knows some German. We continue to work on the grounds, which include an organic vegetable garden, walking trails through the property, and perennial gardens. We invite you to enjoy them all and share your knowledge.
We are members of the Indiana Bed and Breakfast Association, Slow Food USA, People Engaged in Preservation, LaPorte Historical Society, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, and a partner with the LaPorte County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
