Cute place and wonderful staff. Near the Dunes and restaurants. Nice and quiet. It’s an old building which is what makes it charming but if you’re really particular about modern and new places, it may not be for you.

The Magical Lodge
The hotel’s appearance on April’s was a welcoming beacon in a forest. We liked the chalet style appearance and ample parking lot, woodsy surroundings. The interior was welcoming and warm with an enormous fireplace. It felt like a lodge. There’s even a pool, a karaoke bar, and a Pizzeria Uno! Our room was enormous and very comfortable. The balcony was next to a forest. It was magical. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Cute hotel near Indiana dunes
My two children and I stayed here while we were visiting Indiana Dunes. The hotel is old, yet really sweet and adorable. Our room was very clean and the staff were friendly. The pool is pretty small and old, but my children loved playing in it. The hallways and cool furniture and decorations made me feel like I was going back in time. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Vermin and lovely public areas
Upon arrival inspection, I found an insect per the photo in the bedding which I showed to front Desk, who advised “This is The woods bugs happen.” Well, kinda. I didn’t consider Chesterton Indiana to be exactly the middle of the wilderness. I concurred with front Desk that it was not a bedbug, though I didn’t know what kind of insect it was. It was not A butterfly And I didn’t want to sleep In that bed. They changed my room, though They could’ve been nicer about it. Indoor and outdoor public areas where attractive and well-maintained. The breakfast room was cute and the TV room at the end of each of the hallways was quite lovely per the second photo, though I never could get the TV to operate. My room, however, was very worn out: The furniture, dinged and dented, and some wallpaper peeling. But everything worked and I appreciated the large refrigerator. Front desk Never advised us that the hotel offered No daily maid service. One roll of toilet paper and four towels was not going to last two people for four days and Supplies could be indeed difficult to obtain from housekeeping. My room had an envelope requesting tips for housekeeping which I declined to do in view of all the challenges.

Enjoyed the clean and quiet room at a fair price (with breakfast included!). The room was humid but was fine when the fan was turned on. Loved there was a pizza place nearby. Would stay again.

Nestled in the woods
Historic Inn nestled in the woods. We had a great view of a wooded area with a spring creek facing East. I loved the view! I will probably be back. The price was reasonable.

Our stay was nice relaxing and quiet! Nice surprise that the pool was heated when we were there. The inn itself is very charming! The balcony facing the trees was nice to hear the birds and was peaceful. Reminded me of an inn we stayed in off the Appalachian trail. The staff was very friendly and always willing to answer and question or concerns and recommended a nice local pub.

Nice setting but the whole place needs upgrading. No wifi or cell service (Spectrum). Toilet was slow to flush, exhaust fan was VERY loud and upon initial entry you could smell cigarettes. At the price i paid, i would not recommend. An elevator would be helpful too. Bare bones bteakfast.

Unique hotel with an old vibe. Property was very pretty and quiet. Walking distance to one of the parks and the restaurant/bar on the property had great food and drinks. Only downside was the hotel is in need of some maintenance and repairs.

Ahhhh.. a getaway!
We always love our Spring House getaways! We LOVED the end of the hallway room in the lower level. It was so quiet and private feeling. We hope the hot tub works next time! We didn’t have breakfast on this visit, but we always love the waffles!!!
