Forested Inn Recalls English Countryside Manor
Though only about 60 miles from Chicago's hectic traffic and towering skyscrapers, the countryside surrounding Creekwood Inn is such a complete change of scenery that one might feel like they've entered another country. Hidden amid oak, walnut, and pine trees, the inn's brick walls, gabled roof, and outside wooden shutters recall an English manor's simplicity and charm. A short drive away from idyllic lighthouses and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the inn and its fine-dining restaurant represent an easy romantic getaway to escape the city's frenetic pace.
Inside, 13 furnished guest rooms each come decorated in a distinctive style. Fireplaces flicker inside some rooms, while others feature french doors and private terraces overlooking the surrounding forest. At the onsite Kelly’s Table restaurant, diners sip a pomegranate daiquiri or house-made pear-violet soda before eating classic French fare crafted by chef Patricia Kelly Molden. The outdoor patio is particularly inviting on a warm summer night, and the indoor dining room with a fireplace keeps diners warm on a chilly evening. The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesday–Saturday.
Michigan City, Indiana: Lighthouses and Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan’s Southeastern Shore
Three lighthouses anchor the shoreline of Michigan City—each used to be instrumental in guiding ships safely to port. At the Old Lighthouse Museum, visitors can climb to the tower of the 1858 Michigan City Lighthouse and visit the lantern room. The seasonal museum also showcases a collection of model ships and exhibits on Lake Michigan's most infamous shipwrecks.
Nearby, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore comprises 15 miles of undulating coastline and 70 miles of walkable trails. The dunes attract visitors year round for its fishing, hiking, and birdwatching, a specialty for the 350 migratory species in the area. Intrepid travelers can take the steep trek up the 126-foot Mount Baldy, the biggest dune in the park and the newest Rogaine spokesperson.

About Creekwood Inn
Situated 10 minutes from the shores of Lake Michigan and an hour outside of Chicago, Creekwood Inn's charming property recalls the elegant wood and stone manors of the English countryside. Some of the inn’s 13 comfortable rooms feature fireplaces, while others feature french doors with private terraces that overlook the surrounding 33 acres of walnut, oak, and pine forests. Guests can spend days strolling or snowshoeing on the forest trails, or fishing for organic sandpaper at the nearby Indiana dunes. At Kelly’s Table, the onsite restaurant, Chef Patricia Kelly Molden revises the upscale dinner menu with the seasons, prepping entrees such as wine-braised rabbit with summer vegetables or grilled cumin-crusted tuna paired with a mango-habanero salsa. The restaurant is open Wednesday–Saturday.
