My husband and I purchased the 3-night Groupon special and booked it for the May long weekend (actually, I was going to purchase the Groupon but when I called the Inn to inquire about availability they offered a free room upgrade to book with them directly). For the price that we paid, this place was an excellent value. We had... More

Thank you for the kind review. Thank you also for agreeing with us that the old tv’s are not a major issue. It seems so foolish to discard perfectly good tv’s with a great picture just because some people don’t like the size or shape. Few people even turn them on and that is why they are like new. We...

Thank you so much for your nice review and your concern for us over the “bad” ones . We really appreciate this and wish that more of our other happy guests would post a review but most do not bother. We find that the “nicest people” write a “nice” review... and the “not so nice” people write “not nice” reviews... More

My husband and I were gifted a night at the Westwind Inn for our wedding and decided to head up for a mini-honeymoon the day after our wedding. We called ahead and to make our reservations. Being that it was a Monday and in the off season, we were to be one of the only couples there. They told us... More

We just came back from celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the Westwind Inn and we would recommend it! Although our room was small, it wasn't any smaller than many other hotel rooms that we've stayed in. We had a lovely lake view from the sliding door window and balcony. It was gorgeous. The room was nice - but if... More

Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated! I am glad you thought your room was nice. We personally selected and decorated each room individually. Rather than identical cookie cutter hotel rooms each one has a different antique dresser and original art. Most headboards are different and unique also. The inn was built in 1986 and the chalet it 1997.... More

We found the natural scenery and grounds to be beautiful and peaceful, however thats where our positives end. This place is horribly over-priced, especially once you see the amenities the Inn has to offer. My boyfriend and I arrived at the Inn after our four-hour drive and checked-in. While checking-in we asked about the restaurant hours and were told it... More

I was not going to respond to this review and let the readers draw their own conclusions but I decided to make a very brief response. I am so sorry you were disappointed with your stay. You reserved room only, no meals. We advised you that reservations are necessary to dine in our restaurant but you did not care to... More

My husband and I and another couple visited the Westwind Inn at the end of Februay and had a lovely time. The Inn is on the lake, has beautiful views and fire places in every room which is a lovely touch. We enjoyed the charm and relaxed atmosphere. There was plenty to do with a communal games room, ice fishing,... More

Stayed here for a weekend getaway. The hotel has a nice staff. The food was delicious - both breakfast and dinner. The view surrounding the hotel was beautiful, and it was SO quiet at night (amazing for us since we live on the corner of a busy intersection). I was disappointed for a couple reasons: we paid $50 extra/night to... More

The positives are: the food is amazing (at dinner only), and the location is surrounded by nature and a gorgeous lake. The negatives are: the rooms are dirty and have a bad musty smell, very old bathrooms and the shower was horrible (there was not hot water at times), holes in the carpet in the room and in the common...

We stayed in April 2009 for a romantic weekend getaway and purchased the all-inclusive package (includes breakfast and dinner but not drinks) The lodge is exactly what you would expect from a cottage country resort, rustic decor but comfortable. Our room was small but nice and included a jacuzzi tub. The food was so good we purchased the chef's personal... More
