This was a lovely place to stay...such a nice surprise as we booked at the last minute. We would stay here again for sure! The owner was very accomodating, and the hotel is beautiful...perfectly described as a boutique hotel. Loved it.

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.

The Furness Mansion was lovely! First thing I noticed when I walked it was how good it smelled and how clean it was. Our room was the same. We stayed with our young kids after visiting the Dunes. Little noise from the road out front but not terrible. Comfortable, quaint stay! Would stay again.

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.

Couldn't Get In and Didn't Stay

No front desk at this "mansion." They texted a code to get in the front door, the room number, and a code to get in the room. After trying the main door code about a dozen times, we couldn't get in. The code didn't work. We rang the doorbell, but got no answer. Since it was dark and chilly, we left and went elsewhere. We have not stayed here, so cannot make any other review. It did look nice through the window.

Outstanding value!

We stayed in hotel room after hotel room. This place was incredible! So much value for the money spent! We stayed in the family suite. The owner was responsive in minutes. Take your family there! We will definitely be back.

As someone who regularly seeks out historic and interesting accommodations while traveling, I really wanted to love this property. But overall I'd say it was good but not great. The building is located right next to an extremely noisy, very heavily trafficked road, with trucks and cars whizzing by all day and all night. The room was upstairs so we had to make a few trips hauling our luggage to our room (we travel with our dog, food boxes and a cooler as well as our bags). Parking was on a hilly, uneven, grassy area that was pretty wet and muddy. The room was really cold on arrival and as others have noted, room information about heating and working the TV is lacking. I chose this room because it had a small kitchen, but there were no bowls, so I had to eat cereal out of a coffee mug. There were knives and spoons but no forks. And no Kleenex. On the plus side, it was nicely restored, dog-friendly and had a laundry (much appreciated on a long road trip). The sitting room downstairs was lovely, but we didn't use it. There's so much potential here, but for us it missed the mark.

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.

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.
