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

Needed a place for parents weekend, and wanted a change from the usual Holiday Inn environment. Beautiful, comfy rooms with free wi-fi and uverse. Jane was so accomadating! Great location down the street from Ball State, and close to the restaurants, mall, etc. Very clean, and our room felt "new". Would not hesitate to stay here again when I'm in... More

This B&B is absolutely precious, and Ms. Jane is very welcoming and accommodating! The rooms are comfortable and cute, the bathroom (at least the one in my room) is huge, and there is plenty of storage space (closet, drawers, hangers) if you're like me and want to actually unpack when you travel. There's even a robe hanging in the closet... More

Jane is a welcoming and helpful host and does a delicious breakfast. We stayed in the Sunset Knoll - the shower is AWESOME!! She even had a book on the artist displayed in this room that thrilled my artist husband when he was permited to peruse it in our room.

Our Daughter was getting married in Muncie and suggested we stay at a bed and breakfast instead of a hotel. We found this beautifully redone home and booked our stay. The accommodations couldn't have been better. There are four rooms, each with a different name and style. Since we were the only ones there the first night, we were able... More

I met up with a friend and stayed at the McDowell-Nearing House B&B for several nights to explore the Muncie & Indianapolis area. This was the best possible choice for a place to stay in Muncie - so close to but not in the midst of many of the city's attractions and sites of interest (Minnetresta cultural center, Ball State...

I found the McDowell-Nearing House to be an ideal place to stay while visiting Muncie. Ball State is on the same street yet this B&B provides a sanctuary from the busy university. My room was super comfortable and in fact way more than I ever expected! A HUGE selection of digital cable with movies, free WIFI, desk, comfortable bed and... More

My friend needed to go to the hospital in Muncie and we had a chance to stay at the McDowell-Nearing House. It was just down the street from the hospital and we loved it. We were both in awe looking at all the touches the innkeeper had done. We enjoyed our visit and would love to go back. The breakfast... More
