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!

A unique place - make memories you will treasure!
Just a lovely place to stay with family. So many nice details and amenities including a fire pit outside which was a great place to hang out. We stayed in the family suite and the kitchenette came fully stocked with what we needed — there were even coffee filters! We felt right at home and we will definitely be coming back.

Trash under balcony. The second floor room was too difficult to climb for my 82 year-old husband. Really liked the first floor with room for 7 to sleep. Lived the books in each room. Hostess responded ver quickly to my questions. Some confusion on getting into the two rooms, likely our fault in not reading the text well enough. Beautiful house, well appointed bathrooms and very clean. Loved the moldings and oak floors.

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.

Very helpful owners! Great location. Easy access through codes was ideal for a late check in with my kids & our pup. Would like to try a bigger room next time.

Awkward , but amicable
The Furness is a neat building in a nice area. We were not sure how or who would be checking us in ..we came in through the door closest to the parking and just stood there. No official greeting or idea what to do. Once we made a phone call, we were given directions and codes by text. The room is nice and we liked the ‘extras’, but we felt a bit lost in the entire check- in. The Tv is set for Prime, but you can’t access anything. One of the best parts was the very late check- out, the walk to the School House shop, and the cemetery. We will stay again.. we think?

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.
