This hotel is excellent, but there is ONE significant factor to be prepared for. I discuss it at the end of this review.
Cantilever is a small boutique hotel with a restaurant/distillery on site. Brand new with beautiful appointments, very comfortable beds, friendly staff and a fantastic location in a walkable neighborhood. Easy access to the Rainy Lake Visitor's Center at Voyageurs, which was the purpose of our visit.
The on-site restaurant is outstanding. We ate there all three evenings and the food and cocktails were fantastic. Can't recommend it enough.
The one thing guests should be aware of is that the hotel is directly next to a busy freight train crossing, and all the noise that comes with it. The rooms aren't terribly soundproof, so not only the train noise but your neighbors' conversations might make themselves a presence. The hotel is aware, at least of the train noise, and provided foam earplugs. I used them and slept peacefully. But if you are particularly sensitive to noise, take it into consideration.
