This is a great inexpensive family get away.
We stayed in the Turkey Run cabins. They were clean and quiet but nothing worth using the camera on. We appreciated the old TVs because it made it easier for our kids to try out the many puzzles in the main room and spend time with us reading. Soon the new section of the inn will open and there will be some brand new accommodations. In contrast to the simple but adequate rooms, the trails were wonderfully scenic, the nature center well suited for bird watching (and we joined in the feeding too) plus it was staffed by friendly naturalists. We enjoyed several trails that rival many of the national parks in scenic beauty and interest. Plus they were quiet. If you are looking to get away at least during winter or spring, this is a great opportunity.

We live in Covington, In and have been regulars at the Inn for 13years. My 13 year old son and I enjoy the sitting room and game room and especially liked the indoor swimming pool. It is a lovely place with friendly people who help you enjoy your stay. Only once did we have a problem with a room which I thought needed a good cleaning. They changed rooms for us immediately. Since that time they have redone most of the rooms. We were very impressed in Sept 07 with everything that had been redone. I reccomend it highly. Some of our best memories happened at Turkey Run.

We stayed at the Turkey Run Inn in April of this year. The Turkey Run Inn is about 90 years old. The lodge was actually very nice with a very nice sitting room where you could enjoy sitting by the fire and playing games. The indoor pool was also very nice and the resteraunt was affordably priced and the food was very good. Turkey Run State Park is one of the nicest places to go hiking I have ever found.

The one drawback is that the actual hotel rooms are pretty small and outdated. The beds weren't particularly comfortable and the rooms were probably the smallest I have ever seen. The rooms could definitely use some updating. That being said the rooms were pretty inexpensive so I guess you can't expect too much.

I would definitely return to the Turkey Run State Park and would not hesitate to spend a couple of nights at the Turkey Run Inn. The lodge, pool, resteraunts, and hiking are fabulous. The rooms aren't anything special, but I would not hesitate to go back her for a long weekend.

Whilst we didn't stay overnight at the Inn we dropped by for lunch whilst in the Park.

We opted for the Soup and Salad buffet at less than $6 each and were astounded by the quality and choice on offer. The two soups on offer (Chilli and Broccoli and Cheese) were delicious - I'm not greedy- my husband had one I had the other!
The salad buffet had many choices and was very fresh. Sometimes salad buffets can become a little messy with people selecting many things and dripping over others but not here- it was immaculate.

Much to my surprise there was also a choice of desserts- Oatmeal cake (which was heaven), lemon pudding and a chocolate mousse.

We simply couldn't believe the value and the staff were so courteous. I'd happily give our server a special mention however sadly I can't remember her name .

We also visited the gift shop and bought some cinnamon glazed pecan nuts ,which my mother has declared are fantastic, and some beautiful cards and notelets.

I can't comment on the rooms but we were very impressed with our experience of the lodge. The areas we saw were clean and well kept and it had a nice feel to it. I'd happily return and I'd certainly recommend the food to anyone visiting!
