Cute Little Inn
We had a really nice time here. We've stayed here before and came back, so that says something. A nice little place close to the lake, casino, and the amenities of NW Indiana and SW Michigan.

Can’t wait to go back
The stay was really nice and made us feel really welcome. The room was really clean and the bed was comfy. There was an outside deck/bar over the water that had an amazing view and was really nice

Property is abit outdated. Our room had a strong bleach odor that we couldn’t get rid of. Breakfast was ok. Sandwiches to warm up. Cute location on the lake. closed outdoor bar/cafe for the season already and bar at restaurant was closed by 9. Very quiet if that’s what you’re looking for. Staff was very friendly. Checkout the Heston Supper Club for dinner. It was outstanding for food and drinks

Nice but a bit dated
The staff was very friendly and responsive and breakfast was very good. The property is a bit dated and the room, though clean , spacious and comfortable had limited outlets for charging devices and no phone to contact the front desk

Staff were friendly & breakfast had lots of choice. Room was a little tired but the lake view was fab. No soap/body wash in room but may have been an oversight as there was shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. No tea but coffee in the room. Comfortable for one night.

I love the location and the views from everywhere in the place. It’s quiet. The staff was very friendly and was also available any time of the day or night. We were not happy the fireplace did not work and the shower handles look corroded.
