This is a great budget option. We’ve stayed at many places along superior and depending on our budget, we’d never think twice about booking here. Perfect location right on the lake.

The room was clean, tidy and cute. The Lakeview was gorgeous-and lovely to listen to the water with the door cracked just a little :)

The property is on a cliff over Lake Superior. Wonderful look and sound of waves, the unit 205 was very clean and renovated. The hotel is small and so is a breakfast, it still good to have, I only wish it would be provided earlier.

Staying at Cliff Dweller worked great for us as it is close to Lutsen for skiing. The property itself has all that you need and has a stunning view of Lake Superior

Most everything was great other than the shower head being at the height that only short people can use. I’m 6 feet tall and it was way too low. Otherwise the place is great!!

Simple and convenient.

Just stopped for 1 nite on a snowmobile trip. Not an extravagant room but it was clean and warm with a view and close to Lutsen.

This was an ok place to stay. The room was just big enough to fit a bed and bathroom. There was no breakfast served,as it said on their website,only muffins, hot beverages and some granola bars. The view was magnificent though,and we did enjoy the quiet
