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!

Another week, another collection of memories!

Here’s a little recap of the week at both of the restaurants! ⚓️ 🛢️🗝️

From great food and amazing views to laughter, familiar faces, and moments that bring people together, there’s so much more to what we do than just serving a meal.

Whether you’re joining us at Bootleggers Tavern or enjoying the beauty of Clifford Lake Inn, we hope you feel what makes each place special….

One is filled with hometown pride and a whole lot of character, while the other brings the beauty of the lake and the feeling of being right where you belong.

At the end of the day, it’s about the memories we make, the people we meet, and the places that become a little piece of home. 🧡🏡

Thank you for being part of our story. We’re grateful you choose to be part of ours!
