The Belvedere Inn & Restaurant

This is an amazing, refined, cared for Inn. The inkeeper, Shaughn aspires to offer amazing comfort and beautiful grounds. I was upgraded, which I liked, enjoyed the spa tub, powerful showerheads (2), soft sheets, lovely view of Fall trees out my window, and soft playing classical music when I entered my room. The restaraunt was closed for the season, a big disappoitment for a weary traveler, but the innkeeper offers cheese plates, cocktails and wine, which actually would have sufficed! The room has a fireplace, gas I think, but I couldn't figure out how to turn it on and didn't need to anyway. A nice large armoir to put my things in withouut cluttering the room. Perfectly maintained woodwork and a library and garden room for relaxing. And Nancy outdid herself for a lovely breakfast.

It is a wonderful old home BUT be prepared for a pedastal sink and small bathroom because half of it is a relaxing whirlpool tub! However there are LOTs of outlets for personal care, a flashlight and a night light.

Location was very convenient and the grounds exceptional, like a private european estate. The attention to luxurious details, cleanliness, library and sun room, very soft linens, fire place in my room and large bath tub!

floor was squeaky. I would suggest placing a area rug beneath bed, even a thin one.

The breakfast was great! Location is perfect!

The “Room” was way too small with a very inconvenient design. There was only one bed night stand so my husband had no where to put anything. The bathroom sink was in the room and not in the bathroom. The shower was way too small. You could hardly move/turn around in it! The was no room to put toiletries or make up. Someone’s clothing was left in the closet. Upon retiring to our room in the evening we wanted to purchase a glass of wine. We were told that we had to buy a bottle of wine because the restaurant was separate from the Inn so it would be considered a carry out (Indiana State Law). That makes no sense what so ever! That cost us $36. If we wanted a glass we would have to drink it downstairs. Also, no TV in the room. Our first stay was disappointing for the money spent. We are unsure if we will return. We were hoping for a different experience.

This beautiful home steeped in history and lovingly restored was welcoming and very comfortable. Shaun, the owner was so friendly and a world class chef as well. This was a last-minute booking but the memories will keep us smiling forever.

We were only there for one night. Next time we will stay longer.
