Our stay at the McDowell-Nearing House made our Muncie family reunion perfect. The rooms were fresh, clean, spacious and comfy. Our Innkeeper deserves bountiful accolades for breakfasts -- decadent pecan pancakes and fresh fruit cups. Five stars.

I need a one night stop that was quiet and restful-in a city I had never seen before-and this fit the bill perfectly. My bed was perfectly comfy after a long drive, the house was sparkling clean, peaceful and quiet. My wi-fi and I worked late, and I woke to a fabulous full breakfast I could not even finish. Your...

This B&B would be a rare find in any city. All the furnishings are of top-notch, like-new quality. Our bedroom featured southwestern decor and looked as if no one had ever stayed there before. There was plenty of space, with a small sitting area between the bedroom and bath. The bathroom was huge, with a double jacuzzi tub, a shower,... More

Muncie is my hometown. For some reason it has exactly one B&B in town. But it is a gem. The proprietor is friendly and whipsmart -- making for engaging conversation. The place is very clean and the room we had was roomy. There was a separate little room with a desk and a walk-in closet. The bathroom had a separate... More

This room was booked for me for a business trip so I had no ida what to expect. I called before arriving with a question and Jane was incredibly warm and friendly. I arrived a little late in the evening (after my work day and a long drive) and Jane even helped me inside with my bags. The room was... More

I stayed at McDowell-Nearing House last night. Jane was very welcoming, even asking what kind of food I liked for breakfast before I arrived. I knew the rooms would be well furnished from the photos. I thought it might be a little dated in the bathrooms as it is an older house with lots of drapes midwest-style. I was in... More
