Charming location. In the woods so there are bugs but it’s part of the woodsy oasis experience. There are places to eat on the property and walking or driving distance to the Dunes park. Rooms are spacious but dates. We had a balcony that was weathered a bit so I did not feel comfortable going outside to stand on it. The view from the balcony window was beautiful and peaceful. There’s a nice size pool and sauna. Breakfast was redundant but decent: egg patties. Sausage links, continental breakfast item, and waffles. Overall, I would stay here again.

Woodsy experience

Awesome location in the woods, like the rustic style lodge overlookibg the woods. Bring binoculars to look for wildlife in back. They have some nice swinging chairs and a fire pit.

I've stayed at the Spring House Inn several times, never in season. It was never crowded while I was there. It is set in a little bit of woods very near the Indiana Dunes National Park. It's very quiet, and it's quaint. The complimentary breakfast is not very good, much more limited than most other hotel complimentary breakfasts, and not that appealing. The only nearby dining option is the Pizzeria Uno that is right next door, and it's not open for breakfast.

Smell of air freshener was so strong in the hallway and room. There was another odor in the room as well, but I’m not sure what it was. It just didn’t feel good for my health. I did enjoy, however, how quiet it was and how dark the room was for sleeping. Good gluten free pizza next door. Overall, it just felt like I paid too much for what the quality of the experience was.

Spring House Inn is delightfully designed and constructed. It has retained its character since its opening. But, the daily service has slipped, the destruction of woods next to it lessens its attractiveness, and glaring lights in its parking area are awful! Sorry about them, and the fact that its Mineral Springs Road access remains closed.
