Our stay at The Brewery Lodge was decent overall, with a few highlights and areas that could use improvement. The lodge itself has a charming, old-school character that gives it a lot of personality. It’s a beautiful setting with great potential.
However, some aspects could be better maintained—particularly the trails and walking paths, many of which were overgrown and difficult to navigate. This really detracted from the outdoor experience, which should be one of the lodge’s standout features.
We also had a mixed experience at the Dinner Club. Before going, we asked if there was a dress code and were told there wasn't. After a long day hiking the Indiana Dunes, my girlfriend and I freshened up, dressed casually, and headed to dinner. Despite this, we felt out of place due to the way the staff treated us—almost as if we didn’t belong. On top of that, we waited over an hour for our food.
That said, the food was absolutely fantastic, which did help redeem the evening. With a bit more attention to guest experience and property upkeep, this place could be truly exceptional.
