Our family enjoyed our stay at The 418! The house was very clean and nicely appointed. Some of our favorite features were the board games, the cute coffee bar in the large pantry, how huge the TVs were, and the eclectic local artwork. The property was centrally located to many activities and restaurants. Unfortunately, the noise from traffic was pretty loud and the green space to take our dog outside had lots of broken glass on it, but otherwise, we loved our stay. Our kids are asking if we can come back again!

We had an amazing stay at The 418! The home is such a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort—you can really feel the character of the original 1866 build, while still enjoying all the thoughtful updates and amenities.Everything was incredibly clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The beds were especially comfortable, which made it easy to relax and get a great night’s sleep. We also loved the thoughtful touches throughout the home, including the local artwork. It truly felt like a home, not just a rental.The garage access was a huge bonus and made everything super convenient. Overall, this was a seamless and enjoyable stay. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend The 418 to anyone looking for a comfortable, charming, and stress-free place to stay!

Lovely Stay

Very cute place! The art in the loft was cool and the amount of thought that had gone into the items in the loft was incredible. We also got a great view of the fireworks set off by the city. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Love the attached garage

I choose the 418 for the pet friendly aspect and location.The stairs are a little steep but my 84 yr old mother in law managed just fine. The attached garage made us feel extra safe and comfortable.

Gorgeous loft in historic Ft Wayne

This loft is absolutely gorgeous and modern and cozy! Super clean and spacious, everything you need for a stay in the area. We were stopping over on a longer road trip to visit family out east and would definitely stay here again! The only con was that we had to get up early and the bed was so comfy that I didn’t want to get up! I honestly loved this place. They thought of every amenity, even an elegant small Christmas tree in the corner of the living room. The whole place smelled seasonal and inviting. Some of the biggest TV’s I’ve ever seen. Lots of beautiful textiles throughout. Classy and fun artwork, lots of different styles. And having the garage right under the unit was worth more than gold—made unloading and loading the car so easy, especially with our dog and with the horrible cold rain we had the day we arrived. There’s an adorable pantry with coffee and snacks that we didn’t get to take advantage of because our stay was so quick, but this would be a lovely place to spend more time and get to know the area.

The 418 was the perfect spot for our family visit to Ft. Wayne. Tammy was very welcoming and easily accessible. She has put a lot of effort into providing a space that feels like home with unique touches. Her coffee table book provides all the info an out of town guest needs to know. Biggest highlights: coffee bar, local artwork, comfy throw blankets, plenty of pillows/towels/blankets, fall decor, attached garage (especially helpful since there was a snow storm). We can't wait to stay again in the future!

Perfect VRBO

Everything you would expect from the perfect VRBO. From the Comfy Memory Foam king upstairs to the stocked coffee Bar. To the Garage parking especially because it was raining when we arrived to get our stuff inside being covered was fantastic. When we come to visit our In-laws again this will be our first choice if available.

Way better than a hotel

Very clean, questionable response time from property manager about check in information, fit the description of the ad. Lacked information of the property location of building until after booking the property. Would rent from again in the future if needed.
