The Weathervane Inn
Free breakfast and a landmark two minutes away
About this hotel
The Weathervane Inn keeps a budget rate while including free breakfast, free parking and, in some rooms, a whirlpool tub, a combination that works well across a multi-night WildWater Adventure trip. It sits a two-minute walk from the World's Largest Weathervane in Montague, a free and quick photo stop for kids before or after a day of slides, and a four-minute walk from Sawyers Brewing Company covers an adult evening option without needing the car. The property is pet-friendly as well as kid-friendly, a useful combination for a family traveling with both, and it lists itself as accessible with golf access nearby for a non-park morning. Repeat visitors to the Whitehall side of a WildWater Adventure trip tend to book The Weathervane Inn again for the same reasons above, rather than trying a different property the next time.

Our take
This suits a family wanting free breakfast, a possible whirlpool tub and a free local landmark stop, all at a budget rate. Families needing an indoor pool for backup days should look toward the spa or breakfast-and-pool picks on this list instead, since The Weathervane Inn keeps its amenities lakeside-simple. It is not trying to be the fanciest option on this list, and for the right family that restraint is the whole appeal.
- ✓Walk to the World's Largest Weathervane for a quick, free photo stop before or after WildWater Adventure.
- ✓Request a whirlpool-tub room if traveling with tired adults who want a soak after a long park day.
- ✓Bring the dog along; the pet-friendly rooms pair easily with the kid-friendly setup here.

Why guests love itWe stayed at The Weathervane Inn with our dog, and the two-minute walk to the World's Largest Weathervane became our kids' favorite photo stop of the whole trip. Free breakfast each morning made the drive to Michigan's Adventure easier to start on time. The stay delivered on the specific reason we booked it, and that was enough to make the whole trip easier to plan.
