Cliff Dweller is a comfortable, friendly, reasonably priced place. Rooms have a balcony facing Lake Superior, which provided beautiful, serene views. The included breakfast was ok, nothing special, but the breakfast room has large windows facing the lake. There's also a game room with a variety of games to play. They offer a computer in the game room for guest... more

The sound of the waves hitting the rocks, the birds, and the wind through the leaves on the trees was fabulous. The little motel has balcony's for every room. Not too private if everyone is outside, and lots of noise from the highway, but who cares. Just open the patio door and listen to beautiful Lake Superior! There was a... more

I have been staying at the Cliff Dweller for twenty-thirty years! It's just the greatest value on the north shore. The breakfast is great and there's a view of the lake and good bird watching, too! The proprietors are wonderful...always. more

I have stayed at this hotel a half dozen times. The staff is great and the breakfast is amazing. I always have a full stomach before going out to a day on the Slopes. The staff has done so much to make my stay great it is what keeps me coming back (despite lack of a hot tub). They have... more

The reviews here are pretty "dead on" in terms of rating this hotel. So, I won't bore you with too many details about my stay. My visit was midweek from 1/6/09 thru 1/9/09. The Cliffdweller was indeed a great value and the owners/staff were pleasant and responsive. The view of Lake Superior is arguably as nice as you're going to... more

I booked this hotel through the nearby lutsen mountains website for their stay and ski package. We were not disappointed! This place is very close to the ski hill and boasts lakefront rooms with an incredible view. The staff care, breakfast is included, the rooms are clean. Although this property could use a hot-tub, the view/location/price cant be beat. We... more

We stayed at the Cliff Dweller Inn two nights, Sep. 26 and 27, 2008. The motel is located on the cliff above Lake Superior, and each room has a balcony overlooking the lake with an exceptional view. The room was not fancy, but was very clean and comfortable. The motel used to be a Best Western property, but is no... more

Repeat visit: 2nd floor, great view! Breakfast includes homemade omelet and muffins. Good deal. more
