Amazing most beautiful place clean staff was amazing just an overall good vibe and hidden gem will be returning.
Such a cute Bavarian style hotel, beautifully decked out for Christmas. Our room had a cute little balcony with a beautiful view of trees and a little river.
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!
Unique, charming inn. We really enjoyed our stay. The inn was quiet, clean with a wonderful setting. We enjoyed the pool, sauna, outdoor areas and breakfast. I would stay here again.
Quick one night stay. Good sized room. Clean, quiet, and comfortable room. Breakfast was nice, with cold and hot items. Cute hotel and would definitely stay again
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.
Clean room hot breakfast everyone was very plesant. Only issue was the faucets for the whirlpool room were bathroom faucets so it took over an hour to fill up the tub. Everything was clean and in good repair, albeit a bit dated. Recommend would stay again.
We loved the atmosphere here. It was so different than a typical hotel. Everything was clean and the breakfast was great! I would recommend this place and if we get the chance, we will definitely stay here again!
The place is comfortable, clean and safe. We liked it a lot.

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.
