The DunesWalk Inn at the Furness Mansion stands tall as one of Porter County's most significant sites of cultural and architectural importance. Commanding a presence since it was built in 1881, the Furness Mansion's elegantly preserved nineteenth century exterior unfolds to imaginative interiors planned for tourist lodging with leisure in mind. A boutique hotel concept developed in 2010 with five guest rooms and suites, the Inn's amenities include individual kitchenettes, upscale baths and chic common areas for guest comfort. Beyond the scenic beauty and recreation in the 15,000-acre national park, the beaches of Lake Michigan are just 2 miles to the north. Notably, two "must do and see'' visitor stops are both within a block of the Inn; the celebrated 1886 Italianate Revival Schoolhouse Shop, and the civil war era Furnessville Cemetery. A destination in the National Park, DunesWalk Inn is at THE intersection of where history and heart meet hospitality in the Indiana Dunes.
