Spring House Inn is a hotel offering great value for visiting the nearby National Park, dunes, and Lake Michigan. Many guests find it a cute, quaint, and woodsy hotel with a beautiful lobby and a gorgeous, calming cottage-core aesthetic. The rooms are often described as insanely nice, older but perfect, and gorgeous with a neat balcony offering nature overlooks. The location is highly praised for its walkability to dune activities, with a sky bridge to cross the highway, and for having a pizzeria and bar right in the parking lot. Nearby activities include trails, the lake, a farm, and many other food options. The hotel features a clean, heated pool and a sauna, which guests enjoy, along with an outdoor fire pit. Many note the staff as very nice and accommodating. A free breakfast is provided, which some feel is better than large hotel chains, though others have found it lacking. Some criticisms mention the property can feel outdated, with occasional issues like a faint musty or mildewy smell, older furnishings, or maintenance needs in some rooms and the pool area. The value is considered insane and amazing by many, though a few feel the price is high for the hotel's state. Overall, it is often called an amazing, kid-approved stay with a great location, leading many guests to plan a return visit.
Beautiful hotel that is nice and private. Great atmosphere and in the woods.

I've stayed here two years and just recently. I like the fact that it's in a secluded area. And of course friendly staff. And heated pool and sauna.

This is a hidden gem. Less than 10 minutes from Indiana Dunes State Park and 15 minutes away from Indiana Dunes National Park. Very clean. Great free breakfast. Staff are very nice and welcoming. Within walking distance of a Pizzeria Uno ( great food ). Just off the beaten path enough to feel secluded and quiet.
