I grew up in rural Ohio and enjoy art, adventure, and meaningful conversations. I know what it's like to be far from home and long for a comfy refuge. My husband and I enjoy a good challenge and exploring together with our two lovely teen boys.
Why they chose this property
Shelbyville is convenient to the larger surrounding cities, but is quaint and has so much character in the historic downtown.
The Shelbyville Convention Center is located just behind the Washington Belle, so if you have an event to attend, we are a very convenient place to stay. Our master bedroom includes a seating area, vanity table, and a full length mirror. A perfect space for a bride and her wedding party to prepare.
We are located half a mile from the Clear Creek Family Activity Center. For a small fee you can swim, workout, have access to basketball courts, or have an easy location for all the baseball fields, tennis courts etc.
Whether you are wanting to sample some bourbon on the trail, have a family relaxed get together, stroll the town on foot, or just have a comfortable place to stay in a historic home, the Washington Belle is your best choice.
