    Outstanding Family Event

    July 01, 2011

    We rented the entire B&B for 4 days and had a ball! The lovely suites gave each family ample space and privacy. The kitchen, dining and family rooms supported our gourmet breakfasts prepared by our more seasoned chiefs, theme dinners and activities prepared by our younger generation! The Arbor Hill Inn will definitely be one of our family's top 10 memories.

    Relax and Enjoy Life

    August 11, 2010

    If you want to be able to relax and enjoy life in a small town environment, but be treated like royalty, then you'll want to stay at Arbor Hill Inn. It's located in my hometown of LaPorte, Indiana. My brothers and I have stayed multiple times when we've come back to visit our Mom. In May, we filled up the Inn with family and friends as we celebrated our Mom's 90th birthday! On Saturday afternoon, we had an elegant tea, complete with linen table cloths and napkins. On Sunday morning, we had a delightful brunch, served with the same care and style. I can't say enough positive things about the comfort, charm and hospitality provided to our family and friends! I hope you have the opportunity to experience them for yourselves!

    The perfect place for a family gathering

    October 27, 2009

    Arbor Hills Inn provided the perfect atmosphere for our cousin weekend. The combination of good food and exceptional hospitality was appreciated by all. The quality and cleanliness of the inn is the reason we hope to make plans for another cousin weekend at Arbor Hills Inn.

    Elegant Comfort

    October 21, 2009

    My husband and I live locally, but still have found multiple occasions to stay at the inn, including our wedding weekend. Soooo comfortable, and great food. Kris and Laura also provided a wonderful setting for our daughter's baby shower. Can't wait to go back. NLP

    A welcoming home

    July 26, 2009

    Over the course of the 15 years the Arbor Hill has been open, our family has stayed with them perhaps 10 times. We have stayed in every room in the inn. Each of the suites has its own charm and we have particularly enjoyed the few occasions when we have stayed in the featured suite: the WA Jones Retreat, as in our most recent visit during July of 2009. Rather than focus on the details of the building (which is quite old and a handful to maintain), the rooms (which are beautiful), or the breakfast (which is always outstanding), I want to emphasize the real strength of the Inn: its welcoming ambience and the people who create that. When we travel from our home in San Diego to visit family in LaPorte, it is always so comforting to walk up the steps and be greeted by Kris or Laura or Jonni. Our seven-year-old son enjoys the run of the expensive front yard, hunting for ants and beetles and chasing lightning bugs in the early evening, indulging my daughters love for the finer things that can be found around the sitting room, or just relaxing and chatting like old friends, we always feel at home. The beautiful and relaxing suites are really no more expensive than a stay in one of the nearby chain hotels. Sometimes, during our visits, we book a couple of days and one of the chains so as to have a pool in the building for the children to enjoy. But both of them have complained recently "why can't we stay in this place all the time?" It's a good question. Why wouldn't one choose to stay in this beautiful and comfortable Inn?

    Feels like home!

    May 23, 2009

    We felt like we were staying at someone's home and not at a hotel! We had a great night's rest on our way to pick up our son from college. The attention to detail is extraordinary!.....right down to the cookies that were there upon our arrival! The decor is just lovely. The owner was a joy to talk to and her breakfast was nothing short of a meal from a 5 star restaurant! I have already recommended this B&B to a friend who will be traveling thru in August. We plan to stay here anytime we are travelling this way. It was a real treat to stay here! Thank you!
