Basic accommodations. I have long been curious about Cliff Dweller since I have stayed at Lutsen Resort for over 30 years. Good for what this solo traveler needed. Nice being on the edge of the big lake. I would stay here again but not with my family.

Not bad if you wantca view and nothing else.
Great view! Only 2 towels and one roll of toilet paper. No breakfast to speak of. Road was really close so the noise was there. The room was okay. Bed wasn't horrible but kinda hard. There's no a/c, and shower is making a screaming noise, and the vent in the bathroom was broken.
