I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, where the views of Lake Superior from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. The owners made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality and local tips. While the rooms were a bit on the smaller side, they were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was truly delightful, but the noise from the road could be a bit distracting. Overall, it was a great place to unwind and enjoy some quality time by the lake.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel with a breathtaking view of Lake Superior from my balcony. The room was recently renovated and impeccably clean, making it very comfortable for my stay. The breakfast options were plentiful, and the morning chats with the owners were a nice touch. However, the tall stairs to the second floor could be challenging for those with mobility issues. Overall, it's a beautiful spot that provides great value for money, but I recommend booking early as it gets full quickly.

This hotel offers incredible views of Lake Superior and is a great value for the price. The rooms, while small, are clean and comfortable, though the absence of air conditioning might be a downside for some. I really enjoyed the lovely breakfast and the friendly hosts who were always there to help. Overall, it's a fantastic spot, but a few minor room updates are needed for a perfect stay.

My stay at Cliff Dweller was wonderful with stunning views of Lake Superior from every room. The management was friendly and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. The included breakfast was solid, although I felt the dining options could be a bit more varied. The room was clean and comfortable, making it a great value for the price, but the TV channels were minimal. Overall, I would definitely consider returning.
