Top Washington Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean! Friendly housekeeping. Appreciated the proximity to the water. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!"

Airy and bright, Cottage Blue Welcomes You!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely house which was big enough for us (two families of four) to stay at. Extra perk were all the beach gear (chairs, toys etc), the close distance to the beach, and the washer/dryer. For future guests: be aware that there are 5 bedrooms total, but 1 is on the ground floor (4 upstairs) and the same with the 2 bathrooms (1 upstairs 1 downstairs).All in all highly recommended and we had a lovely stay!"

The Sheridan Grand | 8 Bedrooms | Pet Friendly | Hot Tub | Sauna

10/10 Excellent

"We had the BEST time celebrating our joint bachelor/bachelorette party with our closest friends and family, so many memories were made and this VRBO was such a lovely accommodation for us to spend time together, dance, hot tub, and was within easy walking distance to the beach and nearby lovely coffee shops and restaurants. I HIGHLY recommend this spot for large gatherings! The host was very responsive as well!"

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental was perfect for our family vacation! We had 2 adults and 2 children and didn’t feel like we were at all cramped or on top of each other. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed for our 5 day stay. It was very close to all the restaurants we wanted to try as well as the beach. We were able to walk with our young kids to the Zoo without any issues! I would definitely recommend for future stays."

Walk to the beach! Great modern home with spring and early summer availability!

"The Sheridan duo was great for our very large and extended family getaway to Lake Michigan. We loved the location! The homes are comfortable, spacious and welcoming. Wonderful amenities. Well stocked kitchens. Comfortable beds. We found all we needed and wanted there, especially a fun place to gather and make memories. The host responded immediately to our questions, too. Six stars!"

New Vacation Home - 4 Bed/3 Bath w/ Hot Tub & Fire pit - 5 min to beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a wonderful stay! The location was excellent - just a short walk to the beach, the zoo, and close to several restaurants. The home was very spacious, well furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was perfect for our family. Communication with the host was great. We would definitely stay here again!"
