The best available Resorts to stay near Indiana

April 18, 2023 Trinity Boughner

With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

Over rated as a luxury hotel

Reviewed By anndB5044BN

We have never stayed in a hotel with no housekeeping service for a three nights stay. Rooms are nice but overpriced whether inside or outside. There is no decent dining unless you happen to stay when Sinclair’s is open which we didn’t. It just was not worth the expense. Fortunately there is a very nice shuttle service to other parts of French Lick and the golf in the area is terrific.

The Casino too Go To!!!!

Reviewed By Chuck0805

This is a "SHOCKER"!!!!!!!! First off, any and all positive reviews are literally 100% TRUE. It's beautiful, Hotel, Staff, Security, Casino atmosphere is by far what I call the Wynn Casino of the Mid-south. Me and my wife felt like it was luxury. From how everyone dressed, the vibe, we felt really welcomed there. The Casino is by far the best I've been, it's not so much the size amount of machines. Just the What the Heck or Why didn't I come hear earlier. If your within 3-5 hr. drive radius, not afraid to try a different Casino and to go away for a weekend. Come to this Casino. Pro: Everything ABOVE!!!! Con: Food is great, Help your staff out. ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE Floating Host. But awesome Casino!!!!!

Reviewed By SavvierTraveler

Oakwood Resort is real hidden gem on Lake Wawasee in Syracuse, Indiana! We have fun staying here all the time. The onsite restaurant and bar has amazing food. It’s a great place to vacation with family or stay for a business event. The customer service has been outstanding, friendly, and professional, making you feel very welcome. It is always clean and the lake views are a must, with the most beautiful sunrises. If you get the pleasure of meeting Polly, tell her I say “hi”! She’s always smiling and she has lots of information about Oakwood and the surrounding area. Have fun!!

Nice Place But Not smoke free Facility

Reviewed By Blinky6

We love this property but people smoke on the balconies and in front of the doorways therefore you are constantly having to deal with the stench of smoke.The rules clearly state you are not to smoke on your balcony but the rule is not enforced. The food is not good. Breakfast may or may not be available. You are better off eating lunch or dinner at the restaurant at the Eagle Point Golf Course which is nearby. The property and grounds are very well maintained.
