I called the Oliver Inn in a bit of a tizzy, the Annual Girls' Getaway Weekend that I had pain-stakenly organized down to the last detail seemed to be unraveling when I got a call from the English Rose B&B in South Bend announcing (only 2 days from our reservation check-in) that they had an "emergency" and can no longer...

We truly enjoyed our restful stay at the Oliver Inn. It was a mid-winter getaway for us, and we had the place almost to ourselves. The Oliver Inn is quiet, well-kept, and very comfortable, with several places besides our room to read or talk. The Erlandsons have thought of nearly every detail, from sound machines and CD players (with a... More

I am a tour operator in South Bend, Indiana. We offer a group Holiday Dinner in the month of December every year. It is usually a progressive dinner at 3 of the B&Bs in Historic Downtown South Bend, but this year we held the entire dinner at The Oliver Inn. The Oliver Inn is exactly what an Historic Home should... More

The place is quaint, clean and VERY much like home. If you are going to an ND game or just passing through this place is special. The rooms are not five but the breakfast is! Oh my God ... I'm still licking my chops. Each day it's different... And we've stayed their twice yet not gotten a duplicate! Try it... More

Our stay at the Oliver was one we will love to repeat. The Inn itself is gorgeous; I especially enjoyed curling up in the library with my knitting or a book, as the surroundings were so beautiful. The care we received during our stay is what will keep up coming back... Alice and Tom were welcoming and gracious, the breakfast... More

Wish we had more time to visit the colleges in South Bend but we only had one night. Enjoyed our visit and dinner next door at The Tippecanoe Restaurant set in the old Studebaker Mansion-a castle like structure. Alice and Tom were away but their son David and his wife, were very helpful. Enjoyed the large Knute Rockne room with... More

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at the Oliver Inn and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is very little more I can say that hasn't been written in other posts except that we agree with all of the superlative reviews. On our departure morning, we wanted to be on the road early and breakfast is normally served at 8:30am.... More

We have stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts over the last 15 years and this one has to rank among the best!!! Besides the beautiful Victorian home and it's furnishings you have Alice and Tom as the sweetest hosts and so giving and kind. We felt very welcome and like we were at home. We were served delicious food at... More

Great variety of delicious foods for breakfast and wonderfully set table with candles lit every morning! The bedroom was clean and comfortable with nice touches like a personal sound machine, chocolates, high end toiletries and of course the 24 open pantry with cookies, tea and coffee. Tom and Alice are the perfect combination of kind, helpful, warm and yet professional... More
