What guests think

At Weathervane Inn, travelers highlight the peaceful waterfront location with marina views, walkable access to trails and town, and spacious rooms featuring in-room jacuzzis, fireplaces, and balconies, alongside consistently friendly, accommodating staff.

Many guests find rooms very clean, though recurring comments note stained carpets and occasional housekeeping lapses. Common drawbacks include a basic continental breakfast with limited protein, a sometimes confusing streaming-only TV setup, thin walls or noise near the breakfast area, and no elevator. The property feels older in spots, and a few guests report in-room jetted tubs being noisy, slippery, or needing deeper cleaning. Best suited to low key, scenic stays in a small town setting.

Beautiful view of lake. Such lovely friendly & helpful staff. Rooms have fireplace & jacuzzi tub and a walkout patio! This is crazy! Adorable cafe attached to inn. Convenient grocery store across the street. Several cute shops and restaurants nearby. I do not want this place to be discovered as I want it all for myself!

Overall i really like this hotel. The staff was very nice and accommodating any time i have questions. Its in a nice area as well. My main issues is the cleanlyness. I have been in 3 different rooms, and all of them were gross. One of them had food on the bed as if an employee took a break and ate on the bed. My son is one and was crawling on the floor for about 10 minutes and his knees and feet were black. Caked with dirt. I would absolutely stay here again, but theh really need to clean the carpets. Its just gross.

Basic cleanness was good. They do a good job of keeping the surfaces and floor clean, everyday. My room was in good condition. Two things I wasn't happy with. The hot tub needs a good maintenance cleaning. I flushed the jets with hot water, 3 times. Frist flush, cleaned out pubic and other hairs, and other objects. Second one, less debris. Third, totally cleaned out. Yellow mold build up around the jets. The AC/heat unit filters need cleaning filters, low flow.

The pluses were the location and a decent continental breakfast. Other than that the walls were thin and you could hear everything, the staff were non attentive, and the room was not clean with pubic hairs in all the tubs, the cable tv did not work according to the book with instructions or at all.

The beds were firm but nice. Everything else seemed very clean. The flavored coffee and freshly baked cookies in the lobby were amazing. Breakfast was ok. Plenty of options but no eggs & bacon. Will definitely go back! Over all clean, well maintained.

I wanted to personally let you know of an experience that has left me disheartened about staying at the Weathervane Inn. My boyfriend and I were treated like second class citizens at check-in. There was a noticeable change in the attendant’s demeanor at check in. There was white couple was in front of us at check in. Even though I smiled and said hello we were not greeted with warmth or kindness like the couple before. They were guaranteed a “beautiful room” and personally given a list of things to do in the area. Me and my boyfriend were not treated as nearly as warm. We were coldly told our room number and given our keys to a room. We were asked three times if we had pets or smoked. We do not. We had to ask to change room as it overlooked the dumpster. The room we were very coldly to we could have overlooked green muck. I was so excited to come here since I’ve seen your hotel on Groupon in March. It’s saddening to think that in 2024 my boyfriend and I receive sub par treatment due to maybe the lack of diversity in your customer base. We felt very uncomfortable and won’t be returning.

Property was nice. A little outdated. Balconies were a nice touch. But our toilet overflowed they came and wiped everything up nobody sanitized anything so we opted not to use the facility.. We asked for another room but they were booked. We had to go down the street to my sister's hotel to shower for our event. After several emails and phone calls no one has responded to offer us an adjustment or a free room in the future. We were disappointed because it was so inconvenient. The manager on duty said it was about her pay grade to offer any adjustment.

We arrived a couple of hours early, knowing our room may not be ready. I told her what room we were staying in. The clerk didnt offer to rush cleaning the room, or even to call when the room was ready. This is a very small town hotel, and i expected better service. I even mentioned I would be sleeping in my rental car until the room was ready. I expected more kindness, not indifference.

We stayed at The Weathervane Inn during our family trip to Michigan's Adventure and had a great experience! I do have to note that the property is older and could use some fresh paint and upgrades in some areas, but the cleanliness and overall experience of the location was on point! The staff was also super friendly and helpful! It was a 12-minute drive from Michigan's Adventure, which was perfect and also located within walking distance of two adorable downtowns, ice cream, and the world largest weathervane, which was a cute touch that the kids loved. Overall, I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back for our next trip to Michigan's Adventure!

Wonderful stay with my wife. Everyone was welcoming the four days we were there. Centered on the east end of White Lake between Whitehall and Montague so very close to everything in both towns. We brought our e-bikes and access to the trail from the parking lot was great. The king room was nice and spacious. Pleasure to sit on attached deck in the mornings and after being out for the day. Saw many families and older vacationers who rented the larger rooms with kitchens. Would definitely go back again.

Well beyond our highest expectations, our 1st time at THE WEATHERVANE INN was exceptionally quiet & perfectly comfortable. Our room had a beautiful fireplace surrounded by half-stone, clearly high end sheets, nice linens & generously sized soft towels for our drying pleasure post relaxation in our rooms spacious hot tub bath. Further impressed, the staff members proved 2b very personable & refreshingly knowledgeable & the convenience of having any & all amenities readily on hand (paper bowls, spoons, tissue, sugar, creamers, coffee) along with a vast, well stocked breakfast bar providing a variety of many hot dishes in addition to the usual cold choices most routinely offer & fresh snacks one may purchase behind the front desk in lue of a vending machine speaks volumes about how this place truly rises above & strives to stand out among the rest. This quaint little getaway is perfectly situated on White Lake leading into beautiful Lake Michigan where we had the pleasure of witnessing the local beaver population working on their homes, neighboring ducks & geese gliding carelessly across the cold clear blue water b4 bringing a perfect end to an absolutely amazing day with a gorgeous sunset display. Highly recommend!
