The inn is wonderful. We stayed in a Parkside Suite, which included a kitchenette (microwave, mini-fridge with freezer, sink, plates, utensils), dining table, living area, full bath with garden tub and walk-in shower with five shower heads, and bedroom. It was quiet and peaceful, much like our experience of walking some of the park trails. We would definitely stay here... More

Great lodge. Most modern compared to Turkey Run Pokagon and Brown County Inns. Only complaint is that under the bed iss never cleaned as my daughter found a flip flop sock and candy. Totally gross to me. And lost of dirt in general.

This is one of my favorite places to go and get away from it all. The rooms are great. The various lobbies and sitting areas are great to read a book and then you can go for a hike on a trail or just chill and watch the river. Absolutely love this place. Just got back from having a bonfire... More

In December 2012 we went on our second annual December visit to Clifty Inn. 2011 was a 2 night stay, 2012 a 4 night stay. The state park inns have a winter week night special every year, pay for 1 night get 1 night free, 2 nights get 2 nights free, Sunday through Thursday nights. Since we were only paying... More

We can echo what has already been said. Clean comfortable facility, great in-park location with a nice view, nice decor throughout and a friendly staff. This was our first visit and we will return. The only negative was the fact that no alcohol was served in the restaurant but I think this is an Indiana DNR thing. We hope that... More

Expectations are never super high for the State Park Inns as they are run by Indiana and the local staff has little autonomy over decor, menu,training, etc. They are all a little tired and worn, but they are ususally acceptable for the price and the settings are wonderful. However, upon checking in we realized our room did not have the... More

If I can, when I travel for business I try to find a hotel, inn or guesthouse that provide the convenience I need to focus on my work but one that also offers a uniquely pleasant experience. Clifty Inn fills that bill. Its staff is pleasant and nicely organized and the rooms are cozy, yet not cluttered (as some "cozy"... More

The Clifty Inn is a better-than average place to stay at a moderate price. We stayed in a room with an Ohio River view in January, and the view was quite nice. The room was comfortable, and had its own little refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. The place was decorated well, and was clean and well-maintained. At this time of... More

Although we are Hoosiers, we don't often go to Madison, IN. We looked up the Indiana DNR website and found their Winter Specials: two nights for a one night price Sunday through Thursday until March 1st. The accomodations were very nice and the decor of canoes, stuffed animals brought the outdoors inside even during a cold January stay. The staff... More

We live near Indy and needed a getaway before Christmas. We booked a night for a riverview suite for Dec. 23 around Thanksgiving time. About a couple of weeks before our trip we decided we could stay on the 22nd also. When I checked the website the riverview suite was not avaliable. We decided to get a Parkside Suite and... More
