Amazing views

Great views of the lake from every room. Bathrooms are small and dated, but fine. If you are tall, the shower head will be very low. Excellent location and friendly front desk staff. The small breakfast items were nice to have available as well.

Affordable Stay on the Shore of Lake Superior

The Cliff Dweller was an affordable stay while we explored the North Shore. I loved being right on the shores of Lake Superior and hearing the waves through the night. It’s a basic motel - nothing fancy - but it was clean and had helpful friendly staff.

So worth it

Loved it!

The only thing we wished was different was that the TV was larger and in the middle of the room and that there was better outlets for charging the devices. Otherwise I loved it there.And I know I will stay again
