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!

Nice atmosphere. Quiet area really makes you feel that you've gotten away. A little wear on some furnishings and trim but it actually added to the charm. Bed comfortable. View out the window nice. Outside seating areas would be great in warmer weather. Pizzeria Uno co-located with hotel. Speakeasy bar. Both nice. Live entertainment. Great pizza.

Gorgeous inn and wooded space. View from the room was breathtaking, even in March. Breakfast was underwhelming but even as a foodie, I don't care because everything else was perfect. As big Gilmore Girls fans, this is our Dragonfly Inn, and we loved it.

The inn has an old world charm. That also means NO ELEVATOR. If you have difficulty with stairs let them know ahead of time. Our bed was comfortable. The Wifi worked well. Breakfast looked ample, but we had other plans. The young man at checkin was cordial an efficient. I am recommending it to friends.

Nicer than in the photos

This property is much nicer than in the pictures. It has the warmth of a lodge that you can't get at a chain hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. It is near the interstate, but in a nice wooded area. Porter and Chesterton are just diwn the road for food and shopping, and the National Park is across the street.

Very quaint with a lot of charm. The view of the ravine behind was peaceful. We loved the in-room jacuzzi. The walls are rather thin, though, and we could basically hear the neighbors' conversations. We really liked the breakfast dining hall, but the food could be better. Overall, it was a lovely stay and everyone was very kind.
