Introduction
This 35 room mansion was built in 1874, by Benjamin Franklin Schenck, son of a wealthy "hay king" of the steamboat era. It was the marvel of its time with a four storied tower and five bathrooms. Each bathroom contains a walnut-cased copper lined tub. Architecturally the house is of the "second empire" style. It has four porches, seven balconies, eight chimneys and numerous windows. The original slate roof is still intact. The exterior trim is all made of tin.
In 1945 the home was acquired by Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Wiseman who lived here and also used it as the clubhouse for the Switzerland County Saddle Club. In 1981 Mark Miles, purchased the property, adding vineyards to the hillside near the house. The property now belongs to Jerry and Lisa Fisher of Patriot, who have restored the mansion to its original grandeur.

"My spouse and I are veterans of over 100 bed-and-breakfast visits, and we've never found one as elegant, comfortable, and splendid as in our recent visit to the Schenck Mansion in Vevay, Indiana. The attention to detail in every aspect was a true delight. The hostess is amazingly gifted in renovation, hospitality, and the culinary arts--I'm completely in awe of her skills, and equally grateful she chose to share them with fortunate travelers in this setting."
