  • Inn Details

    The Gray Goose Inn, Country English in style sits on 100 wooded acres overlooking private Lake Palomara. As you enter the front door you imediately sense the spirit and tradition of our Colonial heritage. A mixture of antiques, fine reproductions, tapestries, and old prints set the stage for your stay. A gourmet breakfast is served in our dining room reminiscent of an English pub. While dining watch Canada Geese, Ducks, Blue Heron and other wildlife. Walking trails ring the lake for the nature lover or for just a leisurely walk. Guest rooms are individually decorated from Shaker, 18 century English, French Country to English Victorian. A truly unique corner of Dunes Country.

    Nature abounds at the Gray Goose Inn with birds, geese, swans and many photo opportunities. Tim was a gracious host and obviously takes great care with every aspect of the Inn. We were there during the week in the winter, so we happened to be the only ones staying there. But we felt that we were not slighted in the least. There were always lights on throughout the Inn, a fire in the fireplace and soft music playing in the common areas. Drinks and snacks were always available, and we really felt right at home. There is a lovely breakfast room looking out on the bird feeders and pond. Breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented. Coffee was great, and I had to ask where they bought their orange juice because it is the best I've ever had. The location is perfectly suited for visiting the Indiana Dunes, and Tim gave us several suggestions for places to hike and photograph. All in all, we had a wonderful and relaxing time, and we will definitely return and tell our friends about this exceptional B&B.

    A Great Getaway

    We've now stayed at the Gray Goose Inn two times and are already looking forward to a third visit. The innkeeper, Tim, has made the Gray Good such a comfortable place that you feel just as completely at ease in the common areas as you do in your own room. The grounds are beautiful to just sit enjoy from the window or gazebo or to get out and explore and the breakfasts are nothing short of delicious. Tim makes you feel welcome and attended to without being overbearing and always has excellent suggestions for activities or restaurants in town. We will certainly be back again.

    Wonderful...as always!

    This was our third time to the Gray Goose Inn, and as before, we loved our stay. Tim is a very gracious host and goes above and beyond to make your stay as pleasant as possible. You get to meet Charlie Brown, the cocker spaniel, and his new friend Ellie(adorable). The breakfast is delicious and they have everything you need for a movie night (movies and popcorn). We love to go at Christmas time to see the Inn decorated...absolutely gorgeous! I recommend the Gray Goose to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

    I love the Grey Goose Inn. The lake setting is wonderfully secluded. My only complaint is the one-size-fits-all breakfast; they offer a fine breakfast but if part of it is not what you like, they will accommodate simply by eliminating that part of the meal.
