Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The room was clean and the place is charming with an outdoor area that includes porch swings, a fire pit, and Adirondack chairs. It would have been better to have an even numbered room with a balcony facing the woods, but we were on the parking lot side and they told us it was the last room. The staff is not very friendly and did not apologize when we had to wait a long time to check in. The pool area was a little worse-for-wear with peeling paint—but the plants throughout the building were healthy and thriving. The breakfast area was clean and well organized and stocked.

Unique, charming inn. We really enjoyed our stay. The inn was quiet, clean with a wonderful setting. We enjoyed the pool, sauna, outdoor areas and breakfast. I would stay here again.

The property is beautiful. The only two things i didnt like was the fact that they didnt have enough face towels. Also, there is no elevator and no one to help carry heavy baggage up a flight of stairs. Its also wise to have a car. There is anything around other than a pizza place for dining. I definitely plan on coming back.

Our stay at the Spring House Inn was fine. It wasn't stellar, it wasn't awful. The place is dated. And every creaking floor tells that story. There is a weird smell throughout - if it's not bleach, it's something floral mixed with bleach and all the halls had Glade Plug Ins in them. Breakfast was fine for a free meal. Pretty identical to places like Super 8 or Econo Lodge. Parking was easy but areas of the lot need repair - there are only 2 handicap spots though right in front. Unos was pretty good. Good service and nice to be able to walk there.

We enjoyed our stay except for one thing. We booked a double queen room for a family of 4. There were only 2 washcloths in our room. We had to ask twice to get more and both times were told we needed to bring our dirty ones to them to get 2 more. When we told them we needed 2 more to have enough for our family they gave us a hard time and didn’t seem to want to give them to us. Not sure why washcloths were so hard to come by especially when we were just trying to get enough for everyone in our family to have 1.

If you have issues with strong scents, do NOT stay here. The smell of cleansers/chemicals permeated everything. They have a beautiful firepit area, though.

It was my first time staying there. I truly enioyed the view from my balcony. I didn't get to go to the sauna. Next time though. A beautiful, comfortable place to stay. I highly recommend staying for a night; or, two.
