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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Lovely mansion but unable to enjoy it for long. 11 pm arrival and 6 am departure. Nice amenities but we were in double bed room and beds were very uncomfortable and springs felt broken and squeaked. Other than that seemed lovely! Hostess was prompt with replies!

Very cool place! The inside was clean; bedding, bathroom, floors, kitchen, etc. The kitchen faucet is in need of repair but functional. Only negative- The outside grounds were really in need of some TLC, specifically the trash around the outside and under the porches. Overall we really liked the place and would recommend it, and stay, again. Bonus points for allowing dogs, you’d never know it was a pet friendly place from the excellent condition on the interior. We all enjoyed it.

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.
