Although we often travel to Madison, we haven't been to the Clifty Inn in years, and that is because we weren't terribly pleased with the accomodations. But, we decided to give it another try. Am I glad we did! The inn has been totally renovated and is now comprised of three brick buldings attached by enclosed walkways. The rooms are... More

While our stay was admittedly short as we were only in town long enough to pick our son up from nearby Hanover College, we have stayed at the Clifty several times before and it is always at the top of our list for lodging in this area (especially after our misadventure with the Holiday Inn Express in Scottsburg, IN --...

We arrived and thought no one was home! There had been a total blackout due to a transformer having blown. We initially checked into a beautiful room with a view. But even though the electric came back on, the a/c didn't work in that end of the building. We ended up having to move to a room on the first... More

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
