"We like the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms are very nice and the bed sleeps well. Like the quality of the pillows, sheets, and towels. The weather was beautiful and sunny so we enjoyed sitting outside on the comfortable lounge chairs. The scenery was beautiful with the lake & boats. The location is perfect. The bike trails are right next to the parking lot. Also, the chocolate chip cookies are a nice touch! We always stay at the Weathervane when we take our annual bike trip to Montague. There’s also pickleball available not too far away in Whitehall."

Michillinda Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We were upgraded to a suite with a full kitchen, very well stocked with utensils and all needed for cooking. Also a larger bed and bigger room with spectacular views of the lake. The property has a wide variety of activities for all ages. The suite was very clean and furniture comfortable well maintained. We were there off-season so it was almost a private resort. The access to the lake deck and beach was convenient and easy. Lounges were provided allowing for spectacular views of dunes and the lake. I would highly recommend staying with them."

"Hot tub & fire pit with lake view are the best part of this property. We only used the main house which was super cute with an updated cabin feel. We were there in the fall so the boat dock and deck furniture were already put away for the season. It's more of a cabin, so it felt and smelled very damp during our stay, but that may just be a consequence of the season we are in. Host was very communicative and checked in on us during our stay."
