Look for the few flat stones that were a part of the annex. This is all that remains from this elegant hotel.

The hotel era at Devil's Lake began with the grand opening of the Minniwauken house on February 22, 1866. Originall, it was only able to accommodate 20 guests and renamed the Cliff House. In 1884, the Annex was built so 400 visitors could stay and enjoy a plush vacation at Devil's Lake.
Mary Todd Lincoln visited the lake and stayed at the Cliff house. She was repotedly not pleased with her accommodations ad was supposedly told "I don't care in purgatory wo you are. The room is the best one I've got and I cannot give you a different one."
