My family comes here once a year and we absolutely love it! It is a very low-key luxury hotel and although we’re not actually leaving the state, it still feels like a vacation.

This is a super cute Inn nestled in some woods. We were greeted by a family of deer right outside our room. Room was clean, quiet and affordable! Felt more like a State Park Inn.

The Spring House Inn is a nice little spot near the dunes and we have stayed here many times. Much nicer than other hotels in the area. I only wish the beds had real comforters rather than those thin coverlets and more comfortable pillows.
