Extremely helpful and sweet staff. Definitely loved this place. Only bad thing is there’s no elevator. Taking the heavy suitcases upstairs was not good on my knees. Other than that, perfect! Definitely will stay again

We enjoyed the room, it was clean, and quiet. The balcony was nice to sit and look at the lake. The bed was very comfortable and I would stay here again if I were ever there again.

Check in could have been better. Room was great. Would have been better if the weather had been better--cold & rainy, but that's not the hotels fault. Nice walking path nearby. Close to restaurants and stores downtown.

Weathervane Inn Very Good

The Weathervane Inn was conveniently located in town and right on the water. The service was great. Only negative was there was no elevator and we were put on the second floor. Not the greatest for a retired couple with knee issues.

No tv service. Bad view

Paid for lake view but couldn’t see lake; instead it was marina view and all you could see were boats. Also could not watch tv because they assumed you had your own streaming service ☹️
