To our friends and guests: Fall & Winter 2002
We wanted to devote this issue of our guest newsletter to all the amenities that The Weathervane Inn can offer you during your stay with us. We can also help with the perfect gift idea for any function or celebration.

Weathervane Inn Amenities

• Afternoon Tea - Having afternoon tea and cookies in the Game Room while playing all your favorite board games or helping with a puzzle is the perfect way to relax after a day in town or on the slopes. Tea is served each afternoon to our lodging guests from 3:30 — 6:30.

• Phoning & E- mailing from The Berkshires - While you enjoy the quaintness of our beautiful and historic Berkshires and inn, please keep in mind that cellphone service up here is spotty at best. To keep you connected, we have installed "outgoing service only" telephones (with data ports) in most of our guestrooms. Local calls are no charge. You will need a calling card, a prepaid phone card, or a credit card to make a toll or long distance call.
• To help make your stay more enjoyable , ask us about the following special services and amenities: Portable folding chairs, Umbrellas, Picnic blankets, Blow dryers, Cooler’s & ice packs.
  

If that’s not enough, we continue to offer a number of Winter Ski Packages to entice you to ski the Berkshires, details of which are outlined in the Seasonal Packages section of our web site. We also encourage you to check our web site for our new special Continental Breakfast package.

We hope you will join us this winter and call us soon to discuss your summer plans.
