Cliffside Resort in the Wisconsin Dells started out as a vacation home for the Tylka family. Walter and Angeline, originally from Poland, then from Chicago, had a cottage built in the style of their homeland, employing Polish craftsmen to replicate the peaked gables, scalloped edging and interior wood carvings common to the mountain cabins of their southern Poland. In 1981, the Tylkas decided to share their little slice of paradise with visitors, building a resort into the sandstone cliff adjacent to their home. Thus the Cliffside Resort opened on July 4th, 1981.  Today, the original cottage still serves as the family home! Words like warm, welcoming, hard-working and meticulous show up often in guest reviews at the resort! Visitors from as close by as Chicago and as far away as Europe feel like extended family when they stay here. The main level of the family home has been converted to the office lobby which is where you’ll check in, and the lower level with large commercial-style kitchen is a popular gathering place for family reunions and groups of friends. And, yes, the Tylkas still live upstairs. The moment you pull up to Cliffside Resort you’ll know the most spectacular amenity of all is the scenic view to Lake Delton. The resort is perched on a sandstone cliff that hugs the shore of the lake, and much of the activity centers around the water. Heated indoor and outdoor pools overlooking the lake await you. There’s a 60-foot waterslide at the outdoor pool and the indoor pool area includes a slide, whirlpool, and sauna. Along with the view to the lake, be sure to look up from the indoor pool to see intricate wood carvings. We also provide lakeside picnic areas with grills and bonfire pits, perfect for favorite summertime meals, catching-up conversations and star gazing into the night. Jump into Lake Delton from the swim platform or swing along the water bathing in the sun shine or relax in hammock on our sandy beaches. We have piers for fishing and docking your boat. There is a boat launch just one minute down the road from the resort. Inquire about rentals from Lake Delton Watersports.
