Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
When it comes to the best places to stay in Indiana, the choices are so numerous that I’m fairly certain it might be a little overwhelming at first to choose exactly what adventures to have, places to stay, and things to eat. Well, should you find yourself in or near Fort Wayne, Indiana – or planning to stay there – why not turn it into an awesome adventure? Come explore the city while staying in a stunning vacation home rental in Fort Wayne, Indiana – and enjoy all the delights you can along the way.
Welcome to beautiful Fort Wayne, Indiana, which was once a literal military fort built in 1794.
Over the years, it's evolved into the second-largest city in Indiana, and it's a wonderful place to spend a day, a weekend, or longer. Visit once and you might never want to leave!
While you're in town, I strongly recommend a stay at this gorgeous vacation home rental in Fort Wayne that's perfect for solo travelers, couples, and even small families.
It's a cozy, modern, and outrageously clean condo less than a mile from Fort Wayne's beloved Main Street, which is filled top-to-bottom with some of the best shops, eateries, and activities in the Midwest.

It's the perfect place to hang your hat; it's close to just about everything, and you can't go wrong with such a perfectly central location.
So, about those nearby shops and eateries: you'll definitely want to check out some of the best restaurants in Fort Wayne, like Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island.

Sure, from the outside, it doesn't look like anything particularly special, but don't let the simplicity fool you: it doesn't need bells, whistles, or inflatables outside to have some of the best food in Fort Wayne. If you prefer something a little more traditional, I also definitely recommend the deliciousness that is Cindy's Diner, an old-fashioned diner in the heart of the city.
Once you're finished eating (and if you're not too full), I recommend a jaunt on one of the best nearby hiking trails: it's the strangely-named Pufferbelly Trail, and it's six-and-a-half miles of amazing, classic Indiana scenery.

Considering the fact that Fort Wayne is the second-largest city in Indiana, there are literally hundreds of other amazing attractions to consider checking out, like the world-famous Fort Wayne Children's Zoo.

I also can't recommend plenty of other amazing Fort Wayne attractions often enough! Fort Wayne is an awesome city filled with adventure, and the opportunities are endless. The Fort Wayne History Center is fun to visit both on its own, and for the fact that it's in a literal castle! You can also explore other small towns near Fort Wayne, like Leo-Cedarville, which is just 15 minutes from the city.
