What a north shore gem! The staff was welcoming, check in was a breeze, and the room was cozy! The view is what makes this hotel spectacular, who doesn’t love falling a sleep to the sound of waves and waking up to a gorgeous lake view.

We had a nice stay at the Cliff Dweller. The view from the room was amazing. Listening to the water was so relaxing. It was easy to find, easy parking, and many shops around. Everything you would need is right in the area, gas, grocery, and gift shops.

Serenity of the sound of Lake Superior when sitting on your private deck. The walls of the room are thin so you can hear your neighbors but overall a very nice place to stay. Staff was great!!
