The Historic Lantz House Inn
My husband and I travel often and enjoying discovering new and unique places across the country. While our travels have taken us from coast to coast there's one place where we discovered a peaceful piece of paradise right here in Indiana; at the Historic Lantz House Inn in Centerville, Indiana. This romantic Bed & Breakfast sits along Route 40 (the Historic National Road), within driving distance to Richmond and all Wayne County has to offer.
Enjoy Being Pampered At The Historic Lantz House Inn

The savory aroma of a home-cooked breakfast drifts into the beautiful living area while you read the morning paper before your meal. For us it was a delight to have someone pamper us and serve us a full breakfast, and then escape outside to sip our coffee in the beautiful gardens.
The house is decorated with antiques and furnishings that make you feel like you're at home in the Historic Lantz House Inn, not like you're staying in a museum. The amenities include private baths in five themed rooms, a cozy sitting room with library and television, coffee, tea, and newspaper are provided daily, and breakfast is served between 7 and 10 am.

Let Your Cares Slip Away In The Beautiful Gardens
Beside the main house is a wonderful Garden Suite, with private access to the gardens, which we especially enjoyed on the warm Indiana evenings. The intimate setting of the beautiful gardens is often rented for outdoor events and receptions. As a gardener, I appreciated the hard work and care it took to groom the garden filled with native Indiana plants, blooms of all colors, and lovely walking paths. The warm hospitality of our hostess, and great selection of attractions, activities, dining, and shopping in and around the Historic Lantz House Inn, located at 214 West Main St. in Centerville make it the perfect place to getaway for any occasion or just to pamper yourself.
