Welcome back to 1972 when The Fourwinds Lakeside Inn & Marina was built!…read more This motel is a step back into the past with no internet, sculpted carpeting, a wall made entirely of rocks, dark hallways, toilet paper as thin and rough as sandpaper, and what looked like a popcorn ceiling! The photos online are NOTHING like the real thing. This is not a fancy place. That said, the bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean, and it was generally restful and quiet. We were able to check in early (at 1 pm) for free when we called the day we were coming in. Thank you! There was a gorgeous view of the lake in our lake-front room but on our patio, there was only 1 chair, and the dividers between patios didn't come all the way down which meant there wasn't much privacy. The internet was out most of our stay (2 days), though the staff tried hard to fix it. Turns out, the modem was above the ceiling tiles! Most of the staff was very responsive and friendly, including the cleaning people. We were able to get towels to the pool from them though there were no towels by the pool and very few towels in our bathroom. Parking was easy and plentiful. The pool was gorgeous and warm and lovely to swim in. There were a number of leaves in it, but, other than that, it was nice to swim in! The workout room was closed during the time we were there, but, we chose to swim instead which felt great. Tips: 1. If you want to check in earlier than 4, call the same day and ask if you can. 2. The Fourwinds Inn is inside a state park which means you will be paying $7 that you get back after your stay. They also give you a flier with your name and room number so that you can go in and out of the park without paying again. 3. Bring food and bottled water! The rooms have antiquated looking tea and instant coffee -- and if you're looking for anything more, it's not going to be right. 4. The restaurant gets horrible reviews and it's very expensive. They also don't have many or any gluten-free options. For food, I would recommend places like FARMBloomington, BRU Burger for lunch/dinner and Vivencia for breakfast. 5. They do have a kiosk that sells a few snack items but it's not very well-stocked. It would be nice if the hotel had bottled water in the rooms (for free) OR if they brought in a coffee company like Tinker or Hopscotch to sell coffee and breakfast items. They would make a killing! This is the kind of place you stay when you want to rent a boat (apparently, it's 25% off during the week), or want to avoid the Square during college move in or move out times.

My husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at Fourwinds. While there were some…read morepositives, overall it evened out to be a pretty neutral experience and a bit of a bummer for a wedding anniversary. The website and even some of the Yelp photos make it look MUCH nicer than it really is-- they are clearly very outdated photos. There is a tiny indoor outdoor pool right next to the on grounds restaurant. It was too small and packed with people at all times for us to want to use. The room was average; nothing special. We ended up spending most of our time in the room or away from the resort. The lake itself is beautiful and it was nice watching so many families take boats out for the day. It was quieter during the day as families spent so much time on the water. The staff were friendly.

Personally I always thought it was a dumb rule until I hung out at Lemon Lake. Let me tell you, nothing ruins a fun rollick in a beautiful lake more than coming out of the water and stepping into a huge pile of nasty cigarette butts. Gross. Other than that it was great fun, and not overly crowded. I enjoyed my time there.

We unfortunately had to cancel our trip to Lake Monroe due to a series of unforeseen events. Angel was quick to respond and mentioned their policy regarding cancellations.

Do not rent boats from this place. We got scammed! Website claimed to have "luxury" pontoon for…read morerent. I took the bait as my whole family was coming in for Labor Day weekend. $300 for one day, non refundable. Let me say not only was I disappointed, I was totally embarrassed to show this boat to my family. Seats with major damage and taped with duct tape. Dirty seats, nasty carpets. A real luxury boat! Further, upon returning the boat they claimed we ruined the prop (we did not). Another $300 ! In trying to negotiate with the manager and the owner, both proceeded to yell at me because I questioned both the condition of the boat and this "ruined" prop. I'm angry but have no recourse. Do not do business with these folks.you WILL regret it. I wish I could post pictures of this boat...a real disaster!

Without mussing a beat they moved us to an even better one, even bringing us the keys and hdlpiing us to move. We rented a pontoon boat for the day (8 a.m to 5 p.m), and the girl who works at the marina in charge of renting them checked and re-checked to make sure our tank was full and it was perfect for us. We requested a pizza be ready by the time we got back and as soon as we pulled in it was put in the oven, fresh and hot and delicious by the time we were ready to head to our cabin. Is it a 5 star hotel? No....but a quaint, very nice, rustic cabin. The cabins were clean, the staff friendly and went above and beyond for us. I'd stay here a thousand times again! We had a great stay!!!
