State Park Family Cabins: Roughing it

by Toughluck

We've stayed in a number of state park's. The family cabins are often a great options. Some parks have cabins that are a part of the lodge system and are more like motel rooms. Still nice but not the family cabin. The Family Cabin has 1 or more bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining/living room, a porch (some large, some small) and plenty of the great outdoors nearby.

State Parks with cabins include: Potawatomie SP, McCormick's Creek SP, Shakamak SP, Potato Creek SP, Whitewater SP, and Chain of Lakes SP. I've stayed at those is red and enjoyed the stay and the cabins.

State Park Cabine offer a unique chance to live in the middle of what makes the State Park unique. The woods, the wildlife, and the trails. You wake up to the sounds of wildlife on many mornings. You can have your morning coffee on the porch listening to the birds, not the freeway.

State Park Lodges

by Toughluck

Every state park lodge/inn includes a restaurant. It is common for complete strangers to join in conversation.
Brown County State Park - Abe Martin Lodge Abe Martin Lodge is the oldest lodge in the system. There are numerous cabins also available
McCormick's Creek State Park - Canyon Inn
Canyon Inn is another old inn. Brick and block construction has been updated and additional rooms added in the same style. The building looks over a wooded ravine and hosts numerous bird feeders around the restaurant, where you can have dinner with the birds.
Clifty Falls State Park - Clifty Inn
The original Inn burned in the 70's, so this is an entirely new structure. The inexpensive rooms, are located on a parking court. The inside halls are onesided with windows on the other looking out. The deluxe rooms overlooks the Ohio River valley and every room has a balcony.
Pokagon State Park - Potawatomi Inn
Renovated in 2000, the Potawatomi Inn is very nice with pleasant rooms and sitting areas that look out over the lake. The restaurant overlooks the lake and is a pleasant place to watch the sun go down. Inn also has some family cabins located across the park.
Spring Mill State Park - Spring Mill Inn
Located on a bluff overlooking the valley with Spring Mill. You can walk to the historic town, but the uphill return can be tiring.
Turkey Run State Park - Turkey Run Inn
Turkey Run SP is west of Indianapolis. The Lodge is a stone building with interior log beams nestled in the woods. A few cabins serve as remote motel rooms just west of the building.
Fort Harrison State Park - The Fort Golf Resort and Conference Center
Have not had a chance to stay here. It is located in the Officer's Quarters of Fort Benjamin Harrison.

State Park Inns are wonderful places because they are in the middle of what makes the State Park unique. The woods, the wildlife, and the trails. You wake up to the sounds of wildlife on many mornings. Outside your window is not a strip mall of motels, restaurants and gift shops, no -------. It's trails, clouds, trees, and people having fun. Meals are just a short walk down the hall. Always a wonderful atmosphere with views out every window.

by katgrl82

We spent a night at this cozy inn that overlooks the Ohio River. The inn consists of 3 smaller buildings and the main house. There are walking trails that connect the buildings together amoung the lovely gardens throughout the grounds. Our room was very clean and beautifully decorated. All the rooms throughout the inn have a mix of lovely anitques with modern conviences. There are fresh baked cookies available as well as a library full of books and movies. The inn also has a tennis court and bikes available for guests' use. In the morning coffee and orange juice are avaialbe and the rate includes a coupon for breakfast at the Overlook restaurant just down the street. The Overlook has delicous food(try the pancakes) and a wonderful view of the river. We definately want to visit this inn again.

Wonderful views, beautiful, yet warm and cozy decor.
