Spa night with my kiddos

We had such a wonderful stay—my kids were asking if we could live there! The room was cozy and comfortable, and the large whirlpool tub was a huge hit. It was big enough for me to stretch out and relax, and both of my teenagers could climb in together to enjoy a magical bubble-filled soak. Evenings were filled with popcorn, movies, and cuddle parties in front of the big screen, which made it feel like a special getaway at home. The breakfast area had a super cool pancake machine where we could watch our pancakes being made fresh, and the warm cookies served in the afternoon were such a thoughtful touch. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming—from check-in to check-out. Our 2 nights at the Weathervane Inn gave us just the reset we needed, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

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!
