Amazing Time !

Perfect place to stay. The Heron has a feel like staying in a private large beautiful home. The property and the lake are very clean, easily accessible everywhere. I would buy a room at the Blue Heron if I could. One of the best privately owned hotels I’ve stayed in. I’ve stayed in places in England , Scotland , France, Canada & all over the U.S. from Rhode Island to Arizona . We took our well behaved dog and she loved it too. The food is great around the Heron. Bars with food, convenience stores parks all within walking distance.

Service was great at both checkin and in restaurant/bar. Hotel is older so keep that in mind. Perfect location and if you can get a room on lake view its worth the upcharge.

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.
