We had a delightful stay at the Oliver House. Tom and Alice are exceptional hosts. Be sure to enjoy dinner at Tippecanoe Restaurant next door... We met two nice couples at breakfast on Saturday morning and that night, after dinner, we sat in a swing on beautiful grounds... soon, fellow guests wandered in from dinner and 6 of us sat visiting in the garden. Before long, Tom cam out and asked if we needed anything... he noted that my husband and I were drinking white wine. He asked if others would...

This was a lovely hotel to stay at. I came in late because I was traveling from Omaha. The neighborhood was safe, the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I haven’t made my return plans yet, but this is a strong conversation!

The staff was exceptional. Special shout out to Patsy who works the front desk and JoJo who took care of us in the restaurant. Food was also very good. We stayed during COVID because we lost power in our home and we felt very safe. They went above and beyond.

We had a great stay overall. Beautiful, new property and friendly, helpful staff. It would’ve been nice to have more breakfast options like cereal for our kids, but overall not bad.
