Best Western Plus Crawfordsville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Comfort Inn Crawfordsville

10/10 Excellent

"A Hidden Gem That Keeps Us Coming Back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful place to stay! Tucked away just off the main road, this hotel is truly a hidden gem, quietly sitting behind some of the larger hotel chains. And quite frankly, we're glad we found it! The property is always exceptionally clean, and the staff couldn't be more friendly, welcoming, or helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in making everyone feel at home. One thing we especially appreciate is their willingness to support and recommend other local businesses, including Hungry Howie's Pizza. It's refreshing to see a business that not only takes care of its own guests but also helps support its neighbors! We've stayed here several times over the past couple of years, and it has become our favorite halfway stop when traveling to and from Central Ohio. Every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. Wonderful people, great hospitality, a clean and comfortable place to rest, and a genuine hometown feel. What more could a traveler ask for? We highly recommend this hidden treasure! Thank you to the entire staff for consistently making our stays such a pleasant experience. We'll certainly be seeing you again!"

Quaint Apartment - 10 Min from Turkey Run and Shades, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Such a unique find near Turkey Run! It was perfect for our family of four for a weekend of hiking. All of us enjoyed playing basketball in the gym and air hockey during our downtimes. Will 100% recommend and stay again if ever back in the area."

The Rustic Retreat - 1 mile from Turkey Run State Park

10/10 Excellent

"This was a cozy little cabin and the owner went all out on the details. Light switches were labeled, touch-lamps, front porch has the coolest chairs that we used every day after a long day of hiking, back porch had a sauna and nice area to grill. The black & white outside kitty was super friendly and we enjoyed him stopping by. The only slightly-off thing is the well/ground water smell when you used the water, but we would stay here again. There is a neighbor but they were quiet so it was quiet outside. You're close to the road but it was not a nuisance. It was a very nice stay."

The White Bridge Bungalow - 2 miles Turkey Run State Park

10/10 Excellent

"It was absolutely perfect! So close to turkey run. Which was our focal point in this vacation. All was very nice and clean and decorated very beautiful. It was awesome fire wood was all ready in pit to start camp fire and the front porch the cacoon chairs were very cozy to sit and relax and see horse and buggies drive by. My husband and I very much enjoyed this place as well as my two fur babies, they probably wanted to live there considering we hiked 4 days straight and 4 hours a day. However, to the ones renting in near future...heads up, nearest town is 15 to 20 minutes away. So since check in time is 4 and should you arrive a little later than that, might want to bring your drinks and breakfast the day you arrive and then you will figure out area by next day but this is no reflection on rental at all. Husband and I figured we'd get after we check in rental and we googled the nearest grocery store and showed us fishers, we follow the directions that stated 13 minutes away and then next thing we saw was a dirt road. Come to find out it was Amish place but said it was open til 8 but next day found out in Rockville they close at 5. Again no fault by host except for the Amish for not correcting hours on internet. Just giving a heads up for the new turkey run nature people. The rental was so awesome and so close by. 5 stars given on behalf of my hubby and I and my two little fur babies! You wont be disappointed at all with this place."
