Got the chance to visit Black's Cliff Resort due to a friend who vacations up there regularly. We…read morewent for the winter time + over NYE. It was such a fun, unique and refreshing trip to take in the winter. It truly seemed like we were in a real life snowglobe. The resort itself seemed to be about 13 cabins. We were in one that comfortably slept 6 grown adults. We also were able to bring our little pug up with us (For a small additionally fee). The family that runs the resort is as sweet as can be. Very hospitable & has a great resort dog that we saw running around during our time there. The snow had fallen fresh, making it a bit difficult to get out of the drive way but it was plowed in record time. I would of loved to enjoy the back deck of the cabin more (that had an awesome hanging bed!) or been able to have my dog use the dog park - but sadly he was sinking in the snow. The cabin came pretty fully stocked in the kitchen - which was helpful for the meals we were planning. The bathroom/shower was great and had plenty of hot water. Fire wood was abundant for the fireplace within the cabin. And the lake was great to see all snow covered. I hope I get the chance to enjoy this part of the Northwoods in the summer!

Black's Cliff Resort is by far the gem amongst the many other good options. I have to give the credit to my girlfriend who found the place, and also the time of year, first week of June, it was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the Birchwood cabin, right next door to the resort keepers place, home to the resort dog a regal golden retriever who seems to be doing very well in his professional role. The cabin was amazing, with a fireplace inside, stocked with local firewood, and a backyard fire pit. A breezeway overlooking the lake with a bed hanging from the ceiling was the perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon snooze after the drive up from Chicago. Later in the evening, after dinner, I noticed the light fading and wandered down the stairs to one of the most thrilling sunsets I have witnessed. And I was the solo witness because not a soul was stirring on that lake in early June, and evening chill negated my girlfriends interest in the natural beauty. That night, on the soft bed, I had the best night's sleep in at least a year.

There was a snow storm on March 13th. I noticed the sidewalks or walkways were not shoveled. I…read morewent to the main desk around 7:30am to ask when would they be cleared so I could make my way to my car. The lady with the shoulder length hair ( not the one with the short hair who worked overnight, she was really nice) stated someone should be in around 9am. By noon, I noticed nothing was cleared so I went back up to the desk. She stated they had no one to remove the snow from the sidewalks. There was at least a foot of snow and to drag luggage through it would have been a nightmare. So I asked if they had a shovel that I could borrow as my car was backed up to the patio to my room. She stated she did not have a shovel I could borrow, however, I could purchase a shovel and pointed to some shovels for sale near the door. Why would a water park sell shovels to people that rent their hotel suites? Anyway, I smiled and went back to my room. I ended up using the microwave plate to remove as much snow as I could.In order to get to my trunk and get the heck out of there. It took me a couple of weeks to write this review, as i've been staying at other hotels in the area, and i've explained the situation and the other area hotels have looked at me like I was crazy. Never again will I stay here. I come here weekly for work and our business pays for our travel expenses. Would love to know from the management why should we purchase shovels from you in order to clean the sidewalks to access our vehicles?

I had to go to the Save-A-Lot nearby to buy Benadryl and steroid cream just to keep the itching at bay. I have never experienced bed bugs.... But pretty sure this was it. I will NEVER be back. I was offered by the management to have a discount on my bill for this occurrence, but they never did give me the discount. Shame on them. Please do not visit this property unless you plan on burning everything you have.

The manager cleans them and he has no idea how to clean. The old carpeting has visible particles on it, the sinks and toilets were rust stained (see pictures) and the bare mattress had little brown particles on it which looked like bug or mouse excrement. We did not use shower because it looked filthy with mold. The cabin looks like it was furnished from a junk yard. I told the manager about the dirty mattress and pillows and he said that the brown spots were rust. Other family members stayed at two other cabins and they were just as bad. There is so much more that I could say about how bad this property is. It is really unbelievable and unfortunate because the lake is beautiful.
