Nestled in the heart of downtown South Bend beside the iconic Tippecanoe Place, the Brickhaven Inn effortlessly blends timeless historic charm with modern amenities. Just minutes from Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, and Holy Cross as well as the best dining and experiences South Bend has to offer, it is the perfect retreat for guests seeking both comfort and convenience.
Originally built in 1872, this beautiful mansion is part of the West Washington Historic District. Purchased by new owners in late 2025, the mansion has been lovingly restored and remodeled to open as a modern bed & breakfast in the Fall of 2026.
