Renovator Ron Montandon who purchased the home in 1989 has restored to its former elegance the four-level neo-classical limestone structure gutted by fire in 1974. Six lavish sleeping chambers with private baths as well as a Master Suite with fireplace, antique tub and shower for two give insight into the life of the turn of the century self-made industrialist millionaire. Contrasted with the historical appointments is free highspeed WiFi internet and a second floor computer workstation, as well as a complete workout/fitness center and outdoor heated pool with hot tub. This blending of old and new have earned The Beiger Best Bed & Breakfast South Bend Tribune Reader's Choice Award for two years running.

Not just an inn, The Beiger also serves as a premier event facility with seating for up to 150 guests. Perfect for receptions, weddings and business meetings, The Beiger also offers smaller venues such as the Solarium which can accomodate groups of up to 30 guests, while the State Dining Room (40 guests), Verandah (50 guests, summer only) and Music Room (80 guests) guarantee a warm and inviting atmosphere for any occasion. There is also a Pub that can be booked for small private get-togethers.

The Beiger experience doesn't end with the facility, however. Exquisite food and beverage creations are the work of Ms. Liz Drew and include Beef Wellington, Chicken Oscar and Grilled Atlantic Salmon with lemon dill sauce. Floral and table design services, as well as Event Planning, DJ and bar services are also available.

If you haven't had an opportunity to enjoy The Beiger, you may want to contrive a reason and make your reservation soon. Availability is limited, and not surprisingly, the calendar fills up fast.
