The place is a dump. Very OLD inside and out. Everything in the rooms looks like it came from a dumpster. They don't furnish anything. No towels, wash cloths, microwave, maid service, phones nothing. Nothing but the room itself. But the location is great and being right on the water is great and of course the price is good considering... More

Summer Haven is a great place to stay for young and old. Faye and Ken Biddle are always friendly and accommodating. We have gone for seven years, grandma, grandpa, son and family, daughter and family. We look forward to it every year. Other family members come for the day or go to the campgrounds. It's close to the amusement park... More

We have been visiting Summer Haven for almost 30 years. First with our 3 sons and now with our grandchildren. We stayed in a nice cozy 2 bedroom cottage with 1 bathroom and a kitchen living room area. The cottage was neat and clean, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was ice cold. Plenty of parking, fishing was... More

I have to admit I was a little leary when I first read the reviews, but as with anything else I have to see for it myself. So my husband, my three children and I headed to Indiana for the weekend (July 4th) and checked it out for ourselves, AND we were very happy with the way our three days... More

My family and friends have been going to Summer Haven for over 25 years. About 7 to 8 different familes. The staff has always been very gracious and has always met our needs. The greatest thing about Summer Haven is that it has always made us feel like it's a vacation from out of the past. It brings back the... More

I've been coming to Indiana Beach over the past 14 years and have always stayed at Summer Haven. As in the past, my stay this past weekend was a pleasant one. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Summer Haven sets a cottage atmosphere that brings me back to my childhood memories. When not taking the short walk to Indiana... More

We go to Indiana Beach every year with family and friends and I will never stay here ever again. The rooms were Mold and Mildew and very unclean with bugs. The Owners were rude and nasty to us. They would lie about their tickets into the park, said that they would have plenty for the weekend, and did not. It... More
