The Oliver Inn was designed and built from the ground up in 1886 to be a place for hosting and entertaining guests in grand style. The first floor consists of multiple gathering areas, including a living room/library with a grand piano (which conveys with the Inn); a dining area with ample seating for all Inn guests and/or events; and a chef’s kitchen with 2 separate pantries, both of which have huge amounts of built-in storage. Seven of the guest rooms are on the 2nd floor of the inn, with one additional suite on the third floor, and yet another guest accommodation in the Carriage House. The Carriage House was built in 1912 to house not only the family’s vehicles, but also their chauffeur and his family. The second floor consists of a well-appointed 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment, with a full kitchen and lovely screened balcony/porch off the living room. Separate HVAC and laundry facilities make this an ideal location for a larger owners’ quarters, longer-term rental, or leaving it in the guest room inventory (where it is quite productive).
Back in the main house, there is a private entrance to the kitchen and back-of-house areas, stairs to the basement (storage, laundry, and HVAC) and secondary access to the 2nd and 3rd floors.
