POTAWATOMI INN & CABINS

Potawatomi Inn & Cabins offers 126 guest rooms and 12 cabins, including historic rooms with traditional decor and separate cabin units near the Lake James shoreline. The hotel provides accessible options with grab rails and lower bathroom sinks, and pet-friendly rooms are available upon request. Guests in the historic section can request specific rooms for lake views, though room sizes vary from small doubles to larger family suites.

The Lakeview Restaurant serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with buffet options, while the Courtyard Café offers snacks and lighter fare. Outdoor dining areas with scenic lake views are available during warmer months, and live music performances are held on select evenings. The Sunday brunch buffet is a popular option, and the hotel's barbecue facilities allow guests to cook outdoors at the picnic area.

Guests have direct access to a private beach area on Lake James for swimming, along with rental boats such as paddleboats, electric-motor rowboats, and pontoon boats (available Thursday-Sunday, Memorial Day through Labor Day). The indoor heated pool, hot tub, and sauna provide year-round relaxation, while winter brings the toboggan run at Pokagon State Park just a five-minute walk away. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, and guided walking tours are all available within the park, and the hotel offers bicycle rental and table tennis in the game room.

The 10,000-square-foot banquet and conference center hosts corporate meetings, weddings, and family gatherings with catering from the Lakeview Restaurant. The business centre provides fax and photocopying services, while the meeting spaces include natural light and views of the lake. Express check-in/check-out and an ATM on site add convenience for business travelers.

Kids have access to an indoor play area, outdoor play equipment, board games, and a game room with ping-pong and arcade machines.
