No tidying in the room during our three night stay. Winter snow and salt/gravel tracked in on our boots was never cleaned, garbage not removed, and no clean drinking glasses provided. Stained face cloth and shower curtain. Front desk staff did not ask any questions about our stay upon check out.

Comfortable bed, ear plugs provided in case of train noise, and love the clawfoot tub. Fridge kept items cold without freezing. Received promotional discount even though booked on a 3rd party website.

Breakfast not included or available at the hotel, and rooms are rather pricey (but very nice).

Very attractive hotel that has a very nice restaurant and a distillery as part of its operation. Room and bed very comfortable. Nice rooftop deck to watch the sunset.

Little close to train. Although a very cool story. Train stops and waits behind hotel as engineers from US and Canada switch to continue journey.

Very stylish. Fabulous 3rd floor deck with hot tub. Comfortable bed and bedding.

I'd complain there was no ice machine, but if you ask at the front desk, they will happily supply you with ice. So no complaint.

We loved this hotel. Loved the decor. Loved the bar. Loved the restaurant. Loved their own distilled spirits. The staff was super friendly. Ranier was a pleasant and friendly little town to hang around in. Right next to Rainy Day Lake. Easy drive to the different areas of Voyageurs National Park. I can't think of a single complaint about the hotel or the area.

For a boutique hotel, I expected and would have appreciated real half and half for my morning coffee instead of shelf stable mini creamers. A 9am breakfast/kitchen open was too late for our family. We were up at 6am, and we would have liked to have sat down for breakfast at 8am.

Great location, large beautiful rooms, great restaurant, loved the rooftop patio, hot tub and views. Kid and family friendly place!

Bar was good but would be better if they stocked beer and wine as well as spirit based drinks.

Stylish hotel. Very comfortable with good sauna and hot tub.

Everything about the Cantilever hotel was exceptional. I stayed here with family and friends after a strenuous canoeing trip in the Boundary Waters, and this hotel was the perfect place to relax and fill up on some great food (and drinks!). The distillery is just downstairs from the rooms, but the rooms were very quiet and private. We loved the easy access to the distillery and restaurant, where we had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and Destiny, two servers who were eager to share great recommendations and stories. This place is a real gem.

View from the room was a parking lot so not great. Also, there are trains that go by often but the sound wasn’t terrible. Adjusting heat/cool was a little tricky. You can really only set it to “cool” and it switches to heat based on the temp.

This was such an unexpected pleasure. It’s surprising to find something this cool in such a small town. The hotel is unique with a cool story. It’s great to be able to eat at the hotel and the food was very good. Sweets in the morning were also good. Rooms are spacious and very clean and service was excellent.

The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been if the hot tub on the roof was working and not out of service for repairs.

My boyfriend and I were there to hike and canoe throughout Voyagers National Park. The staff was great! We enjoyed being there so much we extended for a third night. Would stay there again if ever in the area. Highly recommend to anyone going to the Rainy Lake area of MN. The town of Rainer is lovely as well.

We loved the atmosphere here! The food and drinks are always great, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the location is awesome.

Great Location and atmosphere

My wife and I were really looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub on the rooftop in the evening, however it was not in working order.

We ate at the bar and the food and service was excellent. Very friendly bartenders and person checking us in.

Really unique boutique hotel in a small Minnesota town - style, atmosphere and a great restaurant on site. My only wish would be a coffee maker in the room.

Did not like the tub. Was not the safest for older people. No handles to hold on to when getting in and out.

The place was nice and staff friendly.
