As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

So maybe the Hoosier State isn’t exactly known for its amazing getaways and/or holiday potential, but we here at OnlyInYourState are convinced that this prejudice is unfair. As it turns out, anyone who’s ever lived here could tell you that there is a multitude of magical facets to this lovely little Midwestern state; there are some truly pristine lakes in Indiana, and some of the most beautiful beaches in Indiana are so amazing that you’ll forget you’re nearly landlocked in the first place. We found a stunning lakeside resort that seems to be calling your name right about now; it’s got everything you could ever hope for in a getaway, from gorgeous rooms to lakeside shenanigans and everything in between. Check out the Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina while the weather is nice and see what you’ve been missing:

Cozied up along the shores of beautiful Lake Monroe is the Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina, and it's every bit as luxurious as it sounds.
