Very happy, relaxing stay
We stopped through on a weekday during the off season. Our stay was clean, comfortable, and blissfully quiet. A huge thunderstorm blew through overnight and the walls are so insulated we barely heard it. The forest view from our room was serene. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast area was clean and well stocked.

I absolutely loved this place. Very quaint, loved the decor. Set in the woods. Very cool Pizzeria Uno next door, which used to be a speak easy. Staff is friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time here, but this was a quick overnight stop on a long road trip. Rooms were comfortable and good size, there’s a sauna and an indoor pool. I heard the breakfast is really good we left too early to enjoy it. Would definitely stay here again!

Going back in time
Lovely front desk host. He informed us that they’d be painting the hall and it would be inconvenient navigating around the workers in the morning. For $17 more, we got a suite with a hot tub instead, in an area unaffected by the painters. Although outdated, the hotel was quaint.

Fun Theme and Awesome Stay
Very cozy and affordable stay! We liked the property a lot and were sad it was raining so we couldn’t enjoy as many of the outdoor amenities. Perfect stay for visiting Indiana Dunes National Park.

Woodsy retreat near the Dunes
A comfortable, quaint, clean spot. Nice outdoor seating areas with swings. There's a bar and an UNO Pizzaria (not the chain)on site that was pretty delicious. Beautiful woodsy area with a stream behind the building that our balcony overlooked (lots of birds to watch). Didn't use the pool or sauna but they were open. Pretty easy to get to the parks and dunes in the area. Definitely will go back with the family

Such a cozy lovely spot to spend the night. We felt welcomed at check in. The place is a bit dated but that really gives it the charm. Room was clean and comfortable. We used the warm pool and sauna, both were clean and comfortable.
