Catch the spirit of Christmas!
 
It's beginning to look alot like Christmas all around McKenzie House Bed & Breakfast.  There are Christmas trees, snowflakes, snowmen and twinkling lights everywhere.
Inside and out, we are celebrating this wonderful season of Christmas.  And we are hoping for some real snow - my favorite thing about snow - sleigh rides - I experienced my first sleigh ride after opening the bed and breakfast in Amish country, northern Indiana.  There is something magical about a sleigh ride.  Book a two night stay at McKenzie House during January and we will arrange a FREE sleigh ride for you.  We'll even include a thermos of hot chocolate for you to enjoy.
A gift certificate would make a wonderful gift for that special someone on yourChristmas list.   Gift certificates are available in any amount and are valid for 1 full year.  Easy to purchase, easy to wrap!  Call us today - 574-825-9787 or visit our website:  www.mckenziehousebnb.com

Add a massage to your next visit to McKenzie House Bed & Breakfast


Nothing says relaxation like a massage.  Oh wow!  If you have never experienced a massage - now is the time to give yourself a gift of relaxation.  A massage is relaxation for the mind and the body.  And it is always best if you can have a massage by someone that is recommended to you.  And we want to recommend Deborah from Healing Hands.  Deborah has pampered our guests and wants to pamper you too.  Deborah will come to our bed and breakfast - set her table up in your suite or in a private area of the house near your suite for your massage.  Deborah is licensed in Reflexology, Hot Stone and Swedish massage.  She sets the mood for the massage with a heated table, soft lighting and soothing background music.  Deborah will concentrate on particular areas for you or she will give you a full body massage.  Couples - side by side massages are also available.  It is best to schedule your massage in advance (7-10 days).  Massages can be scheduled for 1 hour at $70.00 or 1 1/2 hours at $100.00 per person.    Gift certificates are available - please contact us by phone to schedule a massage or purchase a gift certificate.  We hope you take advantage of the convenience of a massage during your stay - pamper yourself soon - you are so worth it.
