Why Ted Davenport chose Winchester
After living near Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Cincinnati, We purchased this property to get back to our Hoosier roots near the Whitewater River valley. Both Ted and Debbie were born in Richmond just 25 minutes south of the property. Winchester is a great little town brimming with family values, lots of churches, nearby shopping, and close to our family.
What makes this House unique
With six park-like acres, 3 fireplaces, and an indoor pool and outdoor hot tub, a conference room that seats 24, separate formal dining room that seats 8, a nice patio with seating for large groups, outdoor fire pit, and nearly 6 park-like acres, this property has everything you are looking for in a family reunion or retreat destination!. This home has something for everyone!. The older folks can sit by the living room fire or on the patio and have great conversation while the kids enjoy the pool or the theater/game room. The teenagers can play volleyball and badminton on the east lawn while the guys head over to the award winning 27 hole golf course and the ladies go antique shopping. We have a game closet filled with board games and playing cards. Free WIFI is available throughout the property and most rooms have 4K or HDTVs with HDMI connections. The winery tours are a great option with live entertainment on some summer evenings. Nearby Camp Yale offers a rock climbing tower and zip line as well as a low ropes course. Fishing is available in nearby Farmland, Richmond, and Muncie. The historic Winchester Speedway "the worlds fastest half mile" is 10 minutes away offering pulse pounding high banked auto racing and Eldora Speedway (about 45 minutes) offers awesome dirt track racing in the summer. Take a day and enjoy the Antique Alley trails for great shopping and don't forget to stop by Silvertowne for a unique gift shopping experience in Winchester.

Family weekend
Outdoor area for family games was very impressive. Played volleyball, badminton, chipped golf balls. Also large fire pit was nice for evening singing, s’mores and more. Indoor pool was great. Kitchen and dining facilities were great. Only drawback was although there are 7 baths most are upstairs in private bedrooms. The one most used on the main level is very small. Family all had a great time.
Family Reunion
Wonderful house for a big family reunion. The large yard, huge dining room and indoor pool were a hit. We roasted marshmallows and ate s'mores every night around the outdoor fire pit.
Perfect place for a family reunion
2 washer and dryers. Long dinner table accommodated all of the adults.
Kids enjoyed the pool and the yard.

Reunion paradise
This was our first stay at this amazing property! Our family reunion of 25 fit perfectly into the bedrooms with room to spare. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds (room to run, play volley ball, badminton), hung out on the patio, and splashed around in the unique indoor pool. Its been a long time since we have all fit around one table so the giant dining room was a special treat! We were not ready to leave when the time came--always a sign of a great reunion.
Fabulous Weekend
This home is beautiful and perfect for a large family reunion. We had 18 adults and 8 children and everyone had very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Ted, the property owner was beyond accommodating with our requests and always responded immediately. The pool was a HUGE amenity and our children spent a lot of time there. Also, we could all sit around the dining room table, which Grandma loved! We will definitely be back and strongly recommend this property.
Thanks to this family for a GREAT review.
The weekend that this family enjoyed at our property was quite rainy yet all had a good time with the indoor pool, game room, and other amenities.
Kristen was kind enough to provide some great suggestions for improvements as well. Thanks Kristen...we look forward to seeing you and your family back at the Winchester Guest House!!
