Thyme for Bed

If you want to experience a peaceful and quiet countryside with very friendly people you need to stay here. We were visiting Chicago for my friend's birthday and we didn't want the usual in the city experience so we decided to stay at this unique Bed and Breakfast. It was worth the extra miles outside the city to really get the countryside experience. We all agreed that we wished we had more days here to explore the countryside and was overwhelmed by hospitality from Donald and Sherryl. 5 Stars plus!!! We totally recommend this place!!!!

This is a WONDERFUL place to stay! The rooms are exceptionally charming and unique, incredibly clean, and as so comfortabe you forget you are a guest in a bed and breakfast. Sherryl pays so much attention to the details of the rooms that you need and want nothing but more time in the comfortable space provided. The breakfast is very good and seems to keep coming. You will not walk away hungry or unsatisfied. This really is a little sanctuary that is worth a trip.

My husband and I slept better here than at anyplace we've ever stayed away from home. The room was quiet and very comfortable. And Sherryl prepared wonderful breakfasts. There was a small refrigerator right outside the rooms stocked with water and other beverages. Everything was wonderful. We will definately stay here again.

Beautiful Property, and extremely friendly people. Clean and very unqiue

Decided to try out a B&B for my birthday, and it was the right choice. My fiancee and I felt so relaxed. It was a perfect night away. We pulled up to the place, and our first thoughts was gorgeous. Rooms were very clean, Sherryl was so friendly, so very nice, and she catered to everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious as well. I reccommend this place to anyone!!!

Beautiful, comfortable, friendly atmosphere, elegant, quiet, luxury getaway in the middle of the heartland. Loved our stay & highly recommend. Owner is gracious, friendly & made our stay special. Great food.

Thyme for Bed is incredible! If you're looking for a relaxing weekend, look no further. Sheryl (the innkeeper) was so welcoming and friendly. She had plenty of suggestions for daytime activities and restaurants. Really made sure we had everything we could ever want without being overbearing. She was also full of interesting stories if you've got the time. The rooms were very clean (with really comfy beds that are hard to leave). We stayed in the Pheasant Room the first night and In Your Dreams the second. Both were great. One thing to avoid: When you're driving in, avoid State Line Road. We drove in at night and it was pitch dark without streetlights, bumpy, partially flooded and would have easily been a scene from a bad scary movie. If possible, take 41 or go during the daytime. This was our first B&B. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks Sheryl!!

This was our first time in a B&B. We were so happy with our stay here. Sherryl was super sweet and helpful (thanks for the hairdryer!). We stayed in the "In Your Dreams" room and loved it! It was beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was awesome! We will be back!

My boyfriend & I spent our first weekend away together in the 'In your dreams' room at Thyme for Bed. We were welcomed very warmly by Sherryl & her gorgeous Persian cat, kitty, along with fresh baked cookies & any sort of coffee/tea you can imagine! Sherryl gave us a tour of her very Unique dome B & B and answered each and every question we could possibly come up with! The B & B itself is imaculately clean & gorgeously decorated. It smells incredible too but not at all overwhelming. Sherryl is one of the most unique & sweetest innkeepers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. As many of you frequent B & B goers know, it's the innkeeper(s) who truly make a B & B special. Sherryl had a last minute funeral to go to & went out of her way to make alternate breakfast arrangments for us for Saturday morning! She also had a lot of information about nearby attractions that we weren't likely to find on our own, such as the pumpkin patch/hayride/fall activities down the street. You're a very short drive from Merriville, IN too where there is a large mall and many 'chain restaurants. I would recommend Thyme for Bed to anyone traveling to the area, looking for a fun/relaxing & unique place to stay. You won't be disappointed! We well definitely be back!

This B&B was near perfect. Meticulously clean, fine detail everywhere, delicious breakfast, and pleasantly relaxing. I will definitely stay here again.

Thyme for Bed is a wonderful bed and breakfast with a spectacular host. I felt so welcome in Sherryl's home, and she was always so warm and cheerful. We stayed in the Pheasant Room, and wasn't a bit disappointed. Everything about Thyme for Bed is perfect. From the beautiful decorating to the delicious food and lovely garden. Nothing could have been better for a weekend getaway with my love.

This was a dear place to go. Not to far from the big city for excitement, and far enough out for relaxation. The atmosphere is...interesting as the monolithic dome gives it a different spin on your stay, but it has all the amenities you would need, and more. And the breakfasts' were awesome!!! Not your run of the mill stuff for B&Bs, and a hotel; it doesn't even come close. Sheryl, and company were great as well, and the at-home atmosphere makes it more comfortable.

Warm welcome with homemade pastries, tea, coffee etc. Lovely unusual house, everything we needed for a relaxing night after flight from UK. Lovely friendly host, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend this as place to stay. Thank you Sherryl, love to see you if you ever come UK

My fiance and I stayed here for an evening and had a great time. The monolithic dome structure gives the inn a unique feel. We stayed in the Pheasant Room, which was charmingly decorated and very comfortable. Sherryl was incredibly friendly and helpful with great suggestions for dinner. Breakfast was very good and our dietary restrictions were recognized. We would definitely stay again.

Thyme for bed was off the beaten path but well worth the drive. We plan to build a dome house of our own and had questions which the owner was happy to answer. We stayed in the Victorian room which was beautifully decorated. We are so glad we found this bed and breakfast.

My husband and I were really in need of a quite & relaxing weekend, and we found it at Thyme for Bed! Their "In Your Dreams" room was fabulous. Sherryl was such a wonderful person she made us feel as if we were staying with family. This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and thanks to Sherryl and Thyme for Bed, we will definitely be trying out more places in our travels.

We were blown away by the treatment from the innkeeper at Thyme for Bed! She was beyond awesome. We stayed in the Victorian Room and my goodness, the attention to detail in the room decor was unbelievable! The room and the home was imaculately clean and the breakfast was fantastic. The innkeeper was very flexible with our breakfast time, unlike some that we have stayed at who told us when we were eating breakfast, she asked us when we wanted to eat breakfast and accomidated our wishes. When traveling in this area I will return here often!

The room was charming and the service excellent.

We were delightfully surprised to find such a charming B&B from seeing a completely round constructed home outside. Our innkeeper was so sweet and helpful. Can't wait to return!
