Guests may choose from one of eight beautifully decorated guest rooms, some with fireplaces, private balcony, claw foot tubs, marble sinks or Jacuzzi. Lovely landscaped one acre estate with lawn swings, gardens, gazebo and fountains. The Bavarian style Carriage House is an archetectural gem, totally unique to the area and has been newly renovated into a two bedroom, two bath suite.

I am a tour operator in South Bend, Indiana who offers a group Holiday Dinner every year, which includes The Oliver Inn. This year (2011), the entire dinner was held at The Oliver Inn. Alice and Tom do an outstanding job in all regards to their B&B. Splendid property, excellent food, and superb hosts! You will never go wrong staying at The Oliver! Becky Wiegand/TravelStarz

We will definitely be back to stay at The Oliver. We chose it because of the close proximity to our friends' house, and were thrilled to have found such a treasure. We were pampered at breakfast by delectable meals served to music and by candlelight, on pretty china. Our room was very comfortable and attractive, though my favorite was the library where I curled up with my knitting or a book to wait for my friend. The butler's pantry has refreshments available at all times. The whole house is elegant, but also comfortable, and Tom and Alice knocked themselves out to make us feel welcome. In fact, the last morning my husband had a migraine, and the care and concern he received was wonderful, as though he were part of the family. We will go back, as soon as possible.
We would visit again!

I told my wife that when we were young we would drive by old mansions and point to upper rooms and wonder what the view was like from there. After staying at the Oliver Inn I can say the view, the food, the rest, the hospitality are wonderful!
