McKinley Manor - A Historic 1893 Victorian Gem
Step into the charm of a bygone era at McKinley Manor, a beautifully restored 1890s Queen Anne Victorian in the heart of Rensselaer, Indiana. Designed by famed architect George F. Barber and listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places, this elegant home blends vintage details with modern comfort. Ideal for romantic getaways, family stays, or bridal parties getting ready for the big day.
The space
SITTING ROOM:
Step into the beautifully restored McKinley Manor, where historic charm meets modern sophistication. Two vintage sofas provide ample seating, one of which converts to a sleeper. A 55" smart TV, framed as artwork, offers streaming services in 'guest mode' with automatic logout for privacy. A curated vinyl collection and vintage-style record player add retro ambiance, while a Nest thermostat ensures comfort. A selection of board games invites cozy moments.
PARLOR (EVENT SPACE):
Beyond the sitting room, the stately parlor blends timeless elegance with functionality. A grand chandelier illuminates three antique Eastlake vanities and an original pier mirror. Vintage wedding photos, including some from our family, add romance. A cozy seating area in the bay window offers a quiet retreat or bridal portrait backdrop. Dusty pink adjustable chairs are perfect for bridal prep. In the evening, the room transforms into a private sleeping space with a king-size air mattress and double doors. An Amazon Echo offers easy music streaming and voice control.
DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM:
Outside the main floor bedroom, the 3/4 bathroom blends vintage elegance with modern design. A pedestal sink and antique mirror add character. The spacious shower features luxurious herringbone subway tile. Amber glass bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, and lotion are provided. A hair dryer is also included.
KITCHEN:
Through the archway from the sitting room, the kitchen blends historic charm with modern convenience. Refinished wood floors and spoon-carved woodwork reflect McKinley Manor’s elegance. The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a fridge, stove/oven, and dishwasher. A porcelain-topped possum belly cabinet serves as a vintage-inspired island. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and a curated collection of new and vintage dishes, including champagne glasses, cake stands, and serving pieces for special occasions.
LAUNDRY ROOM:
The charming laundry room combines vintage style with everyday convenience. A front-load washer and dryer are available, along with a steamer, iron, and compact ironing board for quick touch-ups. A miniature McKinley Manor dollhouse and bins of classic toys provide entertainment for younger guests. The room also offers easy outdoor access through a side porch entry.
UPSTAIRS BATHROOM:
The second-floor full bathroom offers a spa-like retreat. The space is divided into two rooms. The first features a vintage clawfoot tub, illuminated by three chandeliers, with an antique buffet as a double vanity. The second room includes a toilet and a walk-in shower with marble and porcelain tile, plus a large stained glass window. Amber glass bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, and lotion are provided.
BEDROOM 1:
This room features a grand antique bed, thoughtfully converted to a king-size for modern comfort. A hand-stenciled accent wall adds an artistic touch. Two antique Victorian dressers and a closet provide ample storage. A whimsical "mouse house" hidden in the baseboard will delight children. A vintage cradle is available for families with infants. The room also includes a 55" smart TV, a vintage-style table fan, and an Amazon Echo for music or ambient sound.
BEDROOM 2:
Located just off the upstairs hallway, this room features a beautifully converted antique Eastlake bed. Above the bed, a vintage Capodimonte Italian porcelain chandelier adds elegance. A 55" smart TV framed as artwork offers seamless entertainment, while an Amazon Echo provides music, ambient sounds, or voice control. A dresser and closet offer convenient storage, and for families, an antique Victorian crib that doubles as a toddler bed is available. A vintage-style table fan adds a gentle breeze, though the Nest-controlled climate system ensures year-round comfort.
BEDROOM 3:
Through double doors, you’ll enter the beautifully stenciled main floor bedroom. The centerpiece is a stunning antique Eastlake bed, converted to a queen for modern comfort. An antique secretary wardrobe conceals a 3/4 size Murphy bed, blending historic detail with clever functionality. A floor-to-ceiling pier mirror makes this room perfect for bridal photos. A vintage chandelier adds glamour, and an Amazon Echo provides music. Whether for restful sleep or as a bridal suite, this room offers elegance, privacy, and photo-worthy moments.
EXTERIOR:
Enjoy the charm of both the front and side porches, each furnished with classic rocking chairs—perfect for sipping morning coffee or unwinding in the evening breeze. The front porch also features a vintage wicker swing, ideal for relaxing and watching the world go by. For outdoor fun, a vintage croquet set is available in the laundry room. Ample parking is available in the gravel lot beside the home, with additional street parking if needed.

Om værten
Vært: Tabetha Heemstra
I'm originally from the south suburbs of Chicago, just over the Indiana border, but I've now lived in Indiana longer than I lived in Illinois.
I'm married with two adult children, and in this season of life, l've been able to scale back from our family business and focus on what I love most-restoring historic homes and sharing them with others.
I've always been drawn to the craftsmanship and charm of older buildings and homes. Ever since my husband and I lived in an 1890 home as newlyweds-one that had lost much of its original beauty-I've dreamed of restoring a Victorian the right way. McKinley Manor has given me that opportunity. With a passion for design, an eye for detail, and a love for hands-on work (thanks to skills passed down from my father), this project has truly been a labor of love.
Hosting gives me the chance to share that love of history, beauty, and hospitality with others.
Whether you're visiting for a special event or simply a quiet retreat, I hope you feel the warmth, care, and story that lives in this home.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
I chose this neighborhood because it truly captures the heart and soul of small-town Indiana. McKinley Manor is located in the historic district of Rensselaer, nestled among tree-lined streets and beautiful early 20th-century homes. The area is peaceful, safe, and welcoming-ideal for a relaxing getaway or a special gathering with family and friends.
What drew me to this location most is its charm and walkability. From the front porch, you can hear church bells chime and see neighbors walking dogs or riding bikes. You're just a few blocks from Rensselaer's quaint downtown square, where you'll find local shops, cafes, and friendly faces. It's the kind of place where time slows down, and people still wave hello.
I love the sense of history here. McKinley Manor itself was built around 1893, and I've taken great care to restore and preserve its Victorian character while updating it for comfort and style. The neighborhood reflects that same timeless beauty, with each home telling its own story.
Whether you're visiting for a wedding, reconnecting with family, or just looking to escape the noise of city life, this neighborhood offers a peaceful setting with genuine Midwestern hospitality. It's a place where memories are made-and I'm so happy to share it with you.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
McKinley Manor is a rare gem-an 1893 Victorian designed by the renowned architect George F. Barber.
What makes it truly special is not just its beauty, but its history. The home is proudly listed on both the Indiana State and Federal Registers of Historic Places, and I've worked hard to honor that legacy while making it feel bright, peaceful, and welcoming for today's guests.
Unlike many Victorians, McKinley Manor has been thoughtfully updated with soft, calming pastel tones— stepping away from the dark, heavy colors typical of the era. I've preserved the home's original charm, including the beautiful wavy glass windows, which have been carefully restored. To add both privacy and a touch of elegance, l've hung a few leaded and stained glass pieces in front of select windows.
Throughout the home, you'll find antique pieces lovingly placed in nearly every room.
From dressers and mirrors to artwork and decor, these hand-picked touches help create a sense of nostalgia and connection to the home's past, while still offering the comfort and functionality today's travelers appreciate.
Even though it honors its historic roots, McKinley Manor also includes the modern amenities that make your stay easy and enjoyable. The kitchen features updated appliances, and the home is equipped with three smart TVs and Amazon Echo devices throughout for your convenience.
One of the most unique features of the home is its suitability for special occasions- especially bridal parties. The front parlor is ideal for getting ready on the big day, complete with an original pier mirror and three antique Eastlake vanities. It's a romantic, photo-ready space where beautiful memories begin.
Whether you're visiting for a celebration, a quiet retreat, or to experience the charm of a historic home with modern comforts, McKinley Manor offers an experience that's truly one-of-a-kind.
