The History of the Inn
Ever since horse buggies visited the Clifford Lake Hotel, guests have enjoyed the charm of the area. The Inn has weathered many storms and has been in operation through many major events that have shaped our wonderful country since its beginning in 1881. The Inn welcomed travelers when cars and televisions were introduced. Guests were sitting around the Hotel discussing the

World Wars, presidents’ assassinations, and men walking on the moon. The inn has survived the Great Depression, a huge fire, and years of neglect. Regardless of the situation, the Inn has always opened its doors to welcome guests and bring warm smiles to their faces. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Inn and that you feel the warmth and love that has kept this old building running for over 135 years. Thank you for coming!

❗️ WERE BACK!! They fixed it! 🙏

UPDATE CONSUMERS/DTE just got here 5:47PM

Hey friends, unfortunately we are currently experiencing some gas issues here at Clifford Lake Inn and are waiting on service sometime between 4–8PM tonight.

Right now we are only able to serve salads and cold drinks, but the lake views are beautiful, the deck is open, and we’d still love to have you join us for a relaxing evening by the water. ☀️🍹

We’re hoping to have everything resolved soon and truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we work through this. Chuck is here and working hard!

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and will keep everyone updated!
