Very roomy in the sleeping/living area. Nice to have laundry available! Nice fire pit area and outdoor seating. The outside swing's seat is moldy. A dining table for 4 people in a suite that sleeps 10? Shower makes a high pitched squeel on and off, but can be quieted by turning the shower off and back on.

Room was clean. No staff onsite.
Unfortunately our room 203 is located on Hwy 20. We could not close the windows due to window a/c. It made for a sleepless mights due to highway noise.

It is evident the owners have sought to make an upscale place to stay, with little touches (like a nicely decorated lobby with massage chair or the heated bidet toilet seat). When we stayed, there were only another 2 rooms occupied. It was quiet in the room, except for highway noise due to a gap in the window at top due to a good window AC unit. A towel wedged in that gap, plus forcing the AC fan to stay on made for a quiet night's sleep).
The house was apparently built in 1881. I wish I knew more about the history of the house.
It's a good central location to visit Indiana dunes national Park.

Beautiful location with spacious rooms in a romantic setting. Close to the dunes and a nearby town with lots of restaurants. It is a great place to stay with a family and pet for a longer term stay at the parks.

A unique place - make memories you will treasure!
Just a lovely place to stay with family. So many nice details and amenities including a fire pit outside which was a great place to hang out. We stayed in the family suite and the kitchenette came fully stocked with what we needed — there were even coffee filters! We felt right at home and we will definitely be coming back.

Nice owners & great location to dune hike
Very helpful owners! Great location. Easy access through codes was ideal for a late check in with my kids & our pup. Would like to try a bigger room next time.

Dog Friendly area, great property
This is a great property, very nice rooms, appreciated the details. Also it really is right on the edge of the National Park but also very close to town. We stayed with our two dogs and found the area very dog-friendly. The property was like staying at a B&B without the on-site service. There is no front desk, so do pay attention to the info about contacting them for very easy access information once you book.

The property was “homey” and well kept. It provided a “countryside” environment and it was nearby Indiana Dunes and 60-90 minutes from Chicago Metro area. If you don’t mind the drive to the city, it allowed balance of both country & city. Staff was generally responsive, particularly the day of check-in and during stay, primarily via text. It’s a nice property and idea for lodging. It felt like a home.

Loved the location close to the parks, the building and grounds. Room upgrade appreciated. Seniors and dog owners should know that stairs are needed to reach rooms, and some instructions for TV, air conditioning, etc. would be helpful.

Had a great stay for 1 night. Had a room on the 2nd floor and didn't care for how much noise the upstairs folks were making til later in the night. Couldn't figure out the TV but ended up just going to bed. Bed was comfy, pillows were good. Property was cute and well maintained. Would totally stay here again!

Nicely redone home. Unfortunately my room was not made up upon arrival (around 9:30pm), but the manager promptly placed me in another that was very clean and comfortable. Road noise a bit bothersome at times.
