About this property

Fred's Cabin is a stand-alone, private home at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA), an area dedicated to camping, canoeing, and fishing -- a get-away-from-it-all destination. Fred’s Cabin is owned by Williams and Hall Outfitters.

The 1st-floor master bedroom has a double bed. The upstairs loft (accessed by pine ladder/stair) has 2 twin beds plus one double. The bathroom is on the 1st floor. Towels and bedding are included. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a charcoal grill outside.

It comes with access to our canoeing waterfront. Additionally, should you wish to enjoy motorboat fishing, we offer a 25% discount on any of our boat and motor rental packages. You also have full access to meals in the Williams and Hall dining room.

The Boundary Waters region is characterized by a vast network of waterways and bogs within a glacially-carved landscape covered in boreal forests. You can canoe into the Boundary Waters from our dock on Moose Lake.

We Had A Wonderful Time

Staying in Fred’s Cabin was a big departure from what we would typically stay in, but it was exactly what we needed. Temper your expectations. If you’re expecting Wi-Fi, television, consistent cell service, and the finer things in life, this probably isn’t the place for you. If you want to escape all those things and get down to the basics, Fred’s Cabin is pretty ideal. We enjoyed every second of our stay. Even when our water became a bit hit or miss, we made the most of it. If you need cell reception and to fire off a work email, take a quick trip into Ely for a beer and some dinner. The folks at W&H were incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us set up to fish Big Moose Lake and we had a blast. I would have absolutely no problem staying at Fred’s again and hope I am able to someday. FYI, take full advantage of the screened in porch. It’s a lifesaver at night.

About the host

What makes this property unique

Set 17 miles north of Ely Minnesota close to the "end of the road", Fred's Cabin is just down the road from the main lodge of Williams and Hall. It is the only cabin property at Williams and Hall.

Fred's Cabin provides visitors with the benefits of the main lodge with the privacy of being walking distance away from the lodge activity. Fred's Cabin has great access to the incredible wildlife and beauty of the Boundary Waters wilderness. Plus, you have access to a fishing boat at our dock on Moose Lake.
