I’ve been booking short stays here since 2016 and the quality of customer service, on-site accommodations (especially the sauna), and the beauty of the grounds have gotten better year by year. Looking forward to the next couple of years…

Spring House Inn has great ambiance, friendly staff, and clean rooms. I wish I could have stayed longer than one night and had been able to enjoy the sauna, pool and fitness room. I would definitely recommend, and hope to return someday.

Although off the beaten path it’s in a beautiful location. The room was clean and spacious with a small balcony. The young men running the front desk were so nice and helpful. The continental breakfast had a little bit of everything. There’s a nice pool area, numerous seating areas to sit and visit with the people you are with, and a restaurant/bar at the end of the parking lot! Looking forward to staying here in the summer and enjoying the beach/dunes/state park!

Overall the experience was pretty good. The weather was cold and the room temp had been turned down so the room was a little chilly. We sure could have used some extra blankets or a good electric heater. The room has a mini split heat pump. It ran all night but never got the room warm...otherwise the location and building are neat.

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.

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.
