"i don't usually write reviews but figure that this one was worth it. I'd say like all properties and experiences, your expectations matter a lot. So, if you're going to Santa Clause, IN, you're likely going to Holiday World as part of the trip. And if that's what you're doing and using this hotel for, it is perfect. Location is great, maybe 2 minutes drive to Holiday World parking. It is an easy walk or drive to grocery, 1-2 restaurants, etc in case you need to supply up and/or feed your crew. Santa's Lodge is cool and quirky and fun, so just lean into it. That's what you're here for. The free breakfast is legit, though some more variety would be nice (especially for guests staying more than one day; eating the same exact heavy breakfast 2+ days in a row would get old). But between the timing of the breakfast and when Holiday World opens (10am, but they start letting people in around 9:30 to form lines etc), there's plenty of time to fuel up and feed your crew. A good breakfast will then give you some base to go hit the park and then maybe push your lunch until after the big rush. Other aspects we liked were the pool (2 of 'em, indoor and outdoor) and hot tub. We also really enjoyed the onsite pond, which definitely has fish, so bring a pole and tackle if you are interested in a little easy fishing in between Holiday World trips. The hotel is really dated, so don't expect it to be the nicest, most up-to-date accommodations But just know that going in and have fun!"

"Our stay was perfect. The home was very clean and organized. Everything set up for us. The beds were sooo comfortable too. Holiday world was a short distance which gave us a day of fun. "

"We enjoy staying here! Great location, clean, plenty of space."

"The house was beyond wonderful. I felt like I was at home. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. "

"The patriot house was such a gem! Four adults and four children stayed comfortably in this clean home nestled out in the woods. 20 minute drive to Holiday world great place to sleep and hang out!"

"If you are looking for a private and peaceful location to take your family to relax and do some kayaking, fishing, swimming, or just unplugging outside for a few days--this is the place. I read the reviews before booking because I was really trying to find somewhere I could almost guarantee my kids could catch some fish. Well, 102 fish later-- Mission Accomplished. The weather and temperature cooperated during our stay for optimal fishing. The property is very well maintained you can tell the owners take great pride in it. "

"Easy access to Highways, close to Holiday World and cute towns around the area"

"I reserved two rooms for a family get together a trip at Holiday World it had a great location our room was clean very comfortable the staff was friendly breakfast was basic could have used a few more fresher items but overall our stay was great"

"I liked how we got main floor and by an exit to our car and front office. The one thing i didnt like was lack of breakfast options. And if there was options they tasted incredibly bland. One morning i had 2 mini donuts and a mini muffin for breakfast because that's all there really was, unless i wanted incredibly hard waffles. Otherwise everything else was fine."
