I can't decide what was better about my time here at Somo View Resort. Was it the breathtaking…read moreviews of the lake and surrounding woods? Or was it the friendly and welcoming proprietors Lou and Colleen? One thing I am sure of is that I would love to come again and again. There are two rental cabins that are attached (connected) perfect for large family gatherings as each cabin has a bunk bed and another separate room with bed. Shower and bathroom, full size fridge, and a stove. There is another log cabin available but I did not see that one. Also, there is a bar with a pool table that can be rented for family gatherings as well. There is a private ramp (boat launch) and multiple docks right outside the cabins that are only 30 to 40 feet from the water. This place is magical. Come here from the city to completely unplug and unwind in this wooden paradise. I can't say enough about this place or Lou snd Colleen!

It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, unplug (there is electricity but no wifi which is what…read morewe wanted), enjoy the lake, kayak, fish. The cabins are perfect. Ours had 2 bedrooms (queen bed in one and a full/twin bunk) in the other. The living area had a super comfy futon that you could pull out to sleep two more. A stocked kitchen and a nice bathroom with a shower that even my 6'6" husband could fit in. The outside had a great picnic area with chairs, grill and picnic table and we also had a clothes line. Each cabin has their own fire ring with benches. There are currently two docks and we fished off of both of them and caught blue gills, crappies, yellow perch. The fish were biting and that made my 7 and 11 year old boys very happy! The resort has a paddle boat and 2 kayaks and our cabin had 4 life jackets waiting for us. It was perfect. The lake is quiet (we were there during the week) and it got a bit busier over starting on friday but still, we were able to kayak in peace with out fear of being run over. We are already planning our vacation next year! The kids loved it and it was the perfect vacation for our family!

The headlights shine right into the room even with dark out drapes. Poor design, the main building for pool, is way to far away. No wonder the owners try to rent them.

What a wonderful experience. It's winter and the snowmobiles are out and about…read more I arrived at the beginning of the week so I was the only person staying all week. I was given Cabin 1...right on the lake...this Cabin has the fire pit and the dock onto the lake. Cabin 1 has 2 nicely furnished bedrooms, dining room, living room with a large flatscreen TV, a full kitchen with a gas stove/oven and refrigerator, and a bathroom. I stayed all week, my cabin was warm and comfortable. I enjoyed myself. I most certainly will come back...perhaps during the spring or summer, and enjoy swimming and fishing on the lake.

The front of the resort looks amazing. But what's that saying onions have layers. Well the back…read morelooks way different than the front. Like 1st class and 3rd class. My biggest complaint is no plug ins near the bed. Even the lamp was strong across the room to plug in next to the table. The other lamp cord went behind the bed frame that I couldn't move. If you're traveling with a suitcase that is heavy like mine (49 lbs) being on the 2nd floor is a nightmare. No elevator. The young lady at the front desk did offer to help when I asked about an elevator but my suitcase looked bigger than her. But no offering of a 1st floor room. Maybe they were sold out. The kitchen was the weirdest design. All steel or metal. Not really stocked to cook anything unless you brought your own pots and pans. I did call and ask if they had any pots bigger than the 1 cup in the room and they said no. But fridge did have a freezer which was nice. Bed was soft they had a mattress topper on it. My suggestion is only come if you plan to unplug and eat out.

Most of the rooms have a small balcony that in the summer would be perfect for cocktails overlooking the beautiful tree line lake in your backyard. In the winter time, there's a whirlpool tub in the bedroom to look out over the snow, covered trees and beautiful winter wonderland while you soak the stress away. Because it's condos almost all the rooms have a small full kitchen, though it's not well stocked. Small conveniences like a vase for flowers would be helpful.

The room was very clean, service was friendly and helpful. There was a lovely view of the lake.read more

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.

It's located on Patricia Lake, which is a non-motorized, small, beautiful lake. They rent out small boats if you don't have your own! We love coming here with the pup and they're very welcoming to her. They have a small dog park and dog beach. The sites are well kept and clean. The bathrooms are cleaned often and no complaints there. We will continue to use this as our main campground!
