Very cute old fashioned lodge within walking distance of Holiday World. Definitely 90s Christmas vibes! Great for families, good indoor and outdoor pool, free breakfast was tasty. Don’t forget to check out the big pond in the back and the kids playground in the side lot.

Needs updating and refrigerators in rooms. Great location for Santa Claus World. You’ll have to do research on areas to eat and drive too unless, you want pizza or subway. We visited the end of June beginning of July and all the stores closed around 5:00.

We appreciated the convenience to holiday world after a long day but the pool area was not in very good shape and breakfast had minimal offerings. We would likely drive the few more miles to a more modern hotel next time.

So sad how run down this place was and so outdated! There are no decent places to stay around holiday world and it’s a shame that this is one of few places to stay. We felt like it was traveling back in time 30 years and all of the bedding and decor was old and dingy. The outside looked ran down and has not been well kept. Someone needs to invest in renovating it!

Nice convenient spot. Hot water could be better and ac unit worked and was fine but would kick on and off before room reached desired temperature. Love the lobby decorations and indoor pool plus hot tub. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean. I’ll stay again.

I was with a group, so didn’t do activities. Front desk was extremely kind and helpful. My breakfast was good. I saw many people enjoying making waffles. It’s definitely a family-friendly place. Because there’s no elevator in the building we were in, I requested a 1st floor room, and it was great, and convenient.

This hotel is clean but terribly dated. Rooms don’t have enough outlets for charging modern devices. Linens are clean but looking kind of shabby, as are the floors. The Christmas theme decor is looking faded and dusty. Won’t stay here agin.

I booked here as a nostalgic Father's Day trip, but it didn't seem as if our room had been used in years. One sink wouldn't drain and had a spider in it that I quickly killed, but after finding a brown recluse in the bed, we were quickly transferred to a new room that had been checked beforehand. The new room was clean and felt fresher, but the place seemed stuck in time. The staff were all friendly and attentive, and the breakfast was nice. I doubt we will return, but it was an adventure for sure.
