Loved our stay

The Inn is unique and quiet. Old world charm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. While they are making updates, the Inn is kept extremely neat and clean. Pool area is beautiful with a fireplace and the water is crystal clean. Area to walk around and enjoy sitting around a firepit at night. The Dunes national park and Lake Michigan is a must to see.

We enjoyed our stay!!

Overall good! My 11 year old son and I stayed and loved the grounds and the cottage lodge feel. There are no elevators which sucked being in the 3rd floor and the place does have a musty smell in the halls but the rooms weren’t as bad after we left the balcony door open for a few it seem to go away. The breakfast was ok the sausage was gross but eggs were good. There isn’t coffee pots in the rooms BUT they had a free coffee machine 24 hours in the lobby along with hot and cold water. The pizza aT UNO attached was very good. The pool is big enough and nice. Overall especially for the money we would stay again.

Great old time place with lots of character

Great vintage place with lots of character and charm. Very clean and the staff is so friendly. There is a pizza place next door and the hotel offers snacks and soft drinks at very reasonable prices.

The room was clean and the place is charming with an outdoor area that includes porch swings, a fire pit, and Adirondack chairs. It would have been better to have an even numbered room with a balcony facing the woods, but we were on the parking lot side and they told us it was the last room. The staff is not very friendly and did not apologize when we had to wait a long time to check in. The pool area was a little worse-for-wear with peeling paint—but the plants throughout the building were healthy and thriving. The breakfast area was clean and well organized and stocked.

The property is beautiful. The only two things i didnt like was the fact that they didnt have enough face towels. Also, there is no elevator and no one to help carry heavy baggage up a flight of stairs. Its also wise to have a car. There is anything around other than a pizza place for dining. I definitely plan on coming back.

Our stay at the Spring House Inn was fine. It wasn't stellar, it wasn't awful. The place is dated. And every creaking floor tells that story. There is a weird smell throughout - if it's not bleach, it's something floral mixed with bleach and all the halls had Glade Plug Ins in them. Breakfast was fine for a free meal. Pretty identical to places like Super 8 or Econo Lodge. Parking was easy but areas of the lot need repair - there are only 2 handicap spots though right in front. Unos was pretty good. Good service and nice to be able to walk there.
