We enjoyed our stay except for one thing. We booked a double queen room for a family of 4. There were only 2 washcloths in our room. We had to ask twice to get more and both times were told we needed to bring our dirty ones to them to get 2 more. When we told them we needed 2 more to have enough for our family they gave us a hard time and didn’t seem to want to give them to us. Not sure why washcloths were so hard to come by especially when we were just trying to get enough for everyone in our family to have 1.

If you have issues with strong scents, do NOT stay here. The smell of cleansers/chemicals permeated everything. They have a beautiful firepit area, though.

The main areas inside are really nice and there are seating areas outside. It's in a beautiful wooded area and super close to the national park. Our room had a smell like urine and stale cigarette smoke, but we would consider staying again.

Spring House Inn was quiet, very clean, helpful staff and while an older facility, I told my family that it would be a great place to relax and enjoy for a group that wasn’t too rowdy. Owners are taking care of this place. I really liked the nice clean pool, the breakfast and seating areas, and the short walk across the parking lot to a secluded restaurant… Pizzeria Uno! Would stay here again.

Our first room had a strange, strong odor. Kind of like urine but I assume it’s a cleaning product. The lower level was a bit musty but it’s an older hotel and I knew that when I booked, so I can’t complain about the problems with an older facility. The decor and everything was very cool. It’s a cozy hotel. The staff was helpful and changed our room without any troubles. The sauna had the same strong odor when pouring water on the stove. Probably needs a deep clean. The room was clean, cute, and spacious. Everything worked properly. Breakfast was okay, the coffee machine is nice. I would stay here again because it’s a unique place and I’m not super picky. There are improvements that could be made but I had a good time here and again, staff was great.

The hotel was clean. The mattress was aged and painful on the pressure points. The parking area can use better lighting and signage directing to the entrance. The price was correct for the accommodation.

Not good

My room smelled so bad of musty dampness I had to change rooms, then in the new room I had to move the chair to fix the curtains so outside light wasn't blasting in and found a full humidifier. After empting the water basin it ran all night !
