The property is being worked on to make the experience better. Is an old place they are trying to make look newer. Ceiling fan in room was covered in dust. Bring your own pillows as I had to use 3 to get comfortable. The outdoor swing area is very nice.

Do not recommend to stay.

Poorly maintained and lack of service. Namely: bed had spotty sheet, all doors need extra push to open, the shower was half working, there are spiders in the bathroom and spider webs on the balcony, and finally a sharp nail was sticking out right at the exit to a balcony. The replaced only the sheet and all the rest ignored. Do not recommend to stay.

Nice little Inn, great and friendly staff, really clean place, only thing to note is that the rooms could use a little touch, woodwork and furniture. Definitely gives you “The Shining” vibe if you know what I mean.

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.

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 Although outdated, the hotel was quaint.

The Spring House Inn is a beautiful property with all the essentials to make it an exceptionally clean, beautiful, retro, woodland retreat. Our King Suite had a hot tub in the room and we had our own balcony, overlooking the spring! We stayed here one night on our way to Detroit from La Crosse. We were supposed to drive North to Lake Superior after Detroit but decided to come back to the Dunes Area so we can explore and get some down time at the Spring House Inn. The Speakeasy and Uno Pizza is in our near future too. 😀
