Celebrating Our Local 2022 Tripadvisor Award Winners

Posted on July 6, 2022

Earning the designation of “Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Winner” is no small feat. It means that a business goes above and beyond for its guests to an experience that creates lasting memories. An experience that makes them want to come back again and again!
Officially, Tripadvisor describes a Travelers Choice winner as a business that “consistently earns great reviews from travelers and is ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.” And three businesses in the Santa Claus, Indiana, area have achieved this ranking for 2022.

Lincoln Pines Lakefront Resort – On most vacations, the place you stay is just a spot to rest your head. But Lincoln Pines Lakefront Resort isn’t just any ordinary place to stay. In fact, one of our favorite comments on Tripadvisor says that the reviewer’s only “regret” is that they didn’t spend MORE time at the resort enjoying the tons of amenities and activities offered!
