A quiet retreat off Route 66 where garden paths replace city noise, fresh-baked pastries greet you each morning, and every room is dressed in the calm of real country living.
Olivia's Garden Bed & Breakfast began as a simple dream — to turn a flower-filled corner of Connecticut into a place where travelers can slow down, breathe deeply, and feel genuinely welcomed.
Tucked along Route 66 in the quiet town of Columbia, our inn is surrounded by mature gardens, quiet woodlands, and the kind of morning stillness that makes you forget your phone is ringing. We cook every breakfast from local ingredients, serve it on real china, and remember how you take your coffee — because that's what a home should do.
Each of our four guest rooms is individually furnished with linens you'll want to sleep in, hardwood floors, and windows that open onto the garden.
Our signature room overlooks the rose garden. A king bed, hand-poured candles, and a deep soaking tub make this the perfect escape for couples.
A spacious suite with a separate sitting area, queen bed dressed in organic cotton, and the calming scent of lavender throughout. Ideal for longer stays.
Nestled on the upper floor, this room faces the treeline. Queen bed, natural cedar accents, and a desk perfect for writing letters by the window.
A charming single-occupancy room with a twin bed, private balcony, and views of the herb garden — perfect for solo travelers seeking peace.
At Olivia's Garden, breakfast isn't an afterthought — it's the event of the day. We source eggs from nearby farms, bake our bread each morning, and grow herbs in the garden out back. You'll eat at a real table, not in your room, and you'll stay longer than you planned because the conversation is good and the coffee never runs out.
After breakfast, wander the garden paths, curl up in a reading chair with a book from our collection, or simply sit on the porch and watch the light move across the lawn. There's no agenda here except yours.
Fresh-baked bread, local eggs, seasonal fruit, and herbs picked that morning.
Wander rose beds, herb borders, and shaded paths designed for quiet contemplation.
Easy access to historic Columbia, with Hartford and the Connecticut countryside nearby.
Small touches that make a long stay feel like a short, perfect visit.
High-speed internet throughout the inn — for working remotely or catching up with home.
Ample off-street parking right at the inn. No fees, no hassle — just pull in and relax.
We'll help you plan hikes, recommend restaurants, and find the best local spots — like a friend who knows the area.
Bring your dog. Our garden is fenced, and we love having four-legged guests join the fun.
"We came for a weekend and stayed three nights. The breakfast alone is worth the trip — fresh bread, eggs from the neighbor's farm, and coffee that actually tastes good. Olivia made us feel like we had a home in Connecticut we didn't know we needed."

"I stayed in the Cedar Room for a writing retreat and it was exactly what I needed — quiet, beautiful, and no distractions. The garden is magical at dawn. I finished my first chapter here."

"Brought our golden retriever along and they welcomed him like family. The fenced garden was perfect for him, and the rooms are spotless. We'll be back every anniversary — this is our place now."
