This hotel is in a perfect location- right on the water, but also close to town and the walking trail. Rooms are spacious and the balcony was great. The one thing I find challenging is the pet fee. They advertise as extremely pet friendly but then charge $30 per pet per night. This is much higher than anywhere I’ve ever stayed and quite prohibitive if you’re looking to stay for any length of time. I understand if you charge a little more, but for each night? And the pet was previously allowed to stay in the room alone for a couple hours, but apparently no more. If you are changing your policy and not allowing this, then the fee should be reduced as well.

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 A little outdated.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 really liked the location and staff were great. However, we had a hard time sleeping because we heard the people next to us (just casual talking and coughing), and the people above us. We also heard all of the breakfast commotion, so trying to sleep in didn't work.

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.

Clean and comfortable Inn

The Weathervane Inn is a nice place to stay in a small quaint town. We upgraded to a waterfront room with a balcony on the first floor and enjoyed sitting and watching the area swans. Front desk staff were very nice and accommodating. The rooms are very large and clean. Beds are comfortable. We had a gas fireplace and a large Jacuzzi tub that we did not use. We would recommend staying here if in the area.
