We loved the peacefulness of the Whaleback Inn. ##### Steve Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 1 Jul 2024 #### Charming Lakefront Chateau Drew and Rachels hospitality was amazing, Frank, the resident cat is mostly disinterested, yet friendly. The whole place is very charming and feels like a community as you walk to the breakfast bar with Hannah's fantastic muffins. Sitting on the porch with friends, food and a wonderful view of the lake, makes me sad to think of all the times ive missed being here in the past. 10/10 recommend! ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### steve 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice room, great location, welcoming staff. ##### steve Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was wonderful!

Every cabin was cozy and the owners were very welcoming and hospitable. There was a great community area and ample outdoor seating on the porch, property, and pier that gave the best views. We absolutely loved our time there and will be booking again soon! ##### KatieLynn Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice stay ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARCIA 6 Oct 2025 Love the simplicity and uniqueness!
