Search hotels in Ranier, MN

Oddly, the biggest disappointment was not being able to get a good view of the namesake Cantilever Bridge! It would be nice if the hotel had a little handout on where to see this historic piece of history. Tried to walk near the RR station where we could glimpse it down the tracks, but got chased off that property. Couldn't see much from the city pier. Loved the proximity to Rainy Lake, tho. We had plenty of plans for our four days there including a full day tour of Lake Kabetogama from the Woodenfrog campground to Kettle Falls and back (call Bill who operates Border Guide Service - fabulous!), and the great visitors centers, so we weren't at all bored. But Rainier itself has minimal offerings beyond the lovely parks - restaurants basically don't exist IN Ranier outside the Cantilever. Fortunately, the Cantilever Hotel is so charming, it's tempting to just hang around there all day!
