Cantilever Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The rooms are cozy and well designed, views of Rainy Lake from our room were great. The distillery/restaurant was amazing!! Every cocktail we tried was great, and the food was incredible. The rooftop hot tub was amazing, even in 40 degree rainy weather! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean, and staff was attentive to wiping down common areas frequently. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

The property is directly next to train tracks, but the noise was minimal and earplugs are provided at the front desk for light sleepers.

Really nice place and people very friendly Food and whiskey really good Overall best hotel in town!

The rooms is not sound proof Could hear next door people talk and the TV was on the whole night

Lovely and unique property with all the necessary amenities for an enjoyable stay despite being close to the train tracks. We still enjoyed a good night sleep with a wonderful bed, pillows, quiet room ( ear plugs not needed), excellent coffee in the morning. Loved the property and found the staff to be very welcoming and accommodating.

Concerned about the train tracks, but was not an issue for us.
