Places to stay in South Bend

We stayed here while visiting our friends who were renewing their vows one weekend. I guess we caught the romantic spirit too because my husband and I ended up pulling up to this B&B and asking for “the nicest room you’ve got.” We ended up staying in the “Victoria Grand Suite” which was $390 for the night. I know, we splurged. The windows are huge and great for checking out the lake and gardens. The bathroom has a big Jacuzzi and the bed, also huge, is very accommodating and romantic.

The Oliver Inn B&B is a truly beautiful Victorian, 25-room mansion in South Bend. The prices are reasonable and the rooms are all unique, spacious, and decorated with original antiques. There are nine bedrooms to choose from and some have fireplaces, private balconies, and two-person Jacuzzis. Every room includes a hair dryer, free wi-fi, and efficient heat and/or A/C. We loved our experience here and the owners, Alice and Tom, are incredibly thoughtful and excellent cooks to boot.
