Very quaint hotel with antiques. While it was dated, it added to the charm. I was told a later checkout was not an option even though they had something at the front that said it was available for a fee. We were asked to leave the sitting room so they could clean (it was after 11 am), but the manager was rude about it.

Beautiful renovations have been done to the area adjacent to the main building. The outdoor seating is welcoming and comfortable. I wish the hanging nest chairs were able to be positioned to face 360° instead of having to view the storage crate and unkept part of the parking lot. Other than that, it’s a time capsule and I mean that in the best way possible. The perfect alternative to stuffy modern hotels they lack originality, character, or charm. This place has it all.

Booked 2 nights but stayed for only 1. Not that it was a terrible experience, the bed was uncomfortable, staff didn't share much as far as service or amenities and whatnot other than the local pizza place was closed on Mondays. I'd stay again, though.

This is a cute place to stay, conveniently located not far from the highway and close to Indiana Dunes National Park. The area is wooded and pretty. The atmosphere is what I like best - and the sauna! We got a room with a jacuzzi and enjoyed our two stays here, a month apart. If we come through the area again, we'd stay here!
