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.
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.
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!
When I pulled up, I was unsure I was @ the right place. There was no clear signs or parking, we parked in the yard, there was garbage & junk all over the yard, check in was unclear, a maintenance guy was hanging out at the property but didn't speak English, rooms had broken furniture, food left in fridge, nasty coffee pot & no way to communicate with a property manager. The hotel also sits off a main road & train tracks & you hear that all nighr. It was a very uncomfortable & uneasy stay!
When you pull up you have no idea where to park or enter. When we did figure out where to park there was a deck on the back of the facility that was filled with trash under it. We finally got in entered our code and there was someone in the room cleaning. We left to explore the area and came back. It was very dark in the parking area which was in the grass on a steep hill and was hard to see until you got to the entrance and a motion light came on. The room itself was clean but furniture was old and very uncomfortable. The location was convenient to the beaches and dunes. It is hard to get past the initial impression so if the outside was cleaned up it would be a very nice place. If you are going to this area although this place was adequate I would recommend looking for a better option.
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!
Great place to stay, very nice property, staff was responsive to input, loved our stay there, will definitely stay again when we visit the Indiana Dunes National Park!
