A look back at the Cypress Log Cabin finding its home in the dunes.

Originally built for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, the cabin was later transported around Lake Michigan to the Indiana Dunes. Once it arrived, Clydesdale horses helped pull the home up the dunes to the site where it still stands today, now within Indiana Dunes National Park.

More than 90 years later, this piece of history is still standing along the Lake Michigan shoreline and, for the first time, guests can experience it with an overnight stay.

There’s something special about fall in Indiana Dunes National Park. 🍂 The trails fill with color, the air along Lake Michigan gets a little cooler, and the Cypress Log Cabin puts you right in the middle of it all. Fall might just be our favorite time to stay in the dunes.

Fall weekends were made for this. A quiet morning, a good book, and nowhere else to be.

Some of the best views in the Indiana Dunes aren't found on a trail. They're found on a quiet bike ride, where history and Lake Michigan come together around every corner.

Grab a book. Pour a cup of coffee. Watch the light change over Lake Michigan.
Sometimes the best part of exploring the dunes is slowing down long enough to enjoy them.

Originally built for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, the Cypress Log Cabin now sits tucked within Indiana Dunes National Park as one of the most unique stays along Lake Michigan.

After the fair, the cabin was carefully relocated to Indiana Dunes National Park. While some of the Century of Progress homes were brought across Lake Michigan by barge, the Cypress Log Cabin was transported around the lake and pulled up the dunes by Clydesdale horses.

At the fair, it had a completely different feel, designed to resemble a mountain lodge with carved details and unique features throughout. While some those elements didn’t make the move to Indiana, the character of the home still stands today. Today, it offers a rare chance for guests to stay in a piece of history.
