This hotel and staff was amazing. The only complaint that I had was I unfortunately was placed in a room next to a couple who were having a little bit too much fun all night long. I could hear every conversation through the walls and therefore had trouble sleeping. That’s not the fault of the hotel but it still made it a little bit less enjoyable.

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!
