I enjoy lodgings that are beyond cookie cutter motel rooms. Cabin #1 fit the bill. Loved the furnishings and more modern design. Such a refreshing change. Super comfy beds. The traffic on Main Street didn’t bother us a bit because of the location on the quieter east end of town. And just an empty parking lot away from the Dairy Queen!

GREAT location for seeing the Ely area and the unit was very clean. The Host was excellent at communication through the Vrbo App so that was really nice. I pointed out a few things/suggestions that we noticed while there that were well received as well which was a plus. All in all, it was a quaint, cute and nice little cabin!

We stayed one night in this cute two room cabin right off the main street through Ely. 10-15 min walk to most of the restaurants and shops downtown. Very comfortable spot, it was nice that there was a small coffee maker and fridge in the room.

Exceptionally clean and quite comfortable. Near supermarket, liquor store, visitor center which made it a convenient base for our multi day trip. The host was responsive with the booking, directions for location and access and overall a good communicator.

Let's get the obvious out of the way first. Yes we booked a cabin on main street and you do get a bit of road noise but its not bad. Ely goes to bed early. Now for all else. The cabin was super clean. The check in process was flawless. The unit is private with parking 3 feet from your door! Makes loading and unloading ridiculously easy. The unit, if compared to a motel room ( which we were considering) no heel walkers above you or loud rooms next to you! The cabin has ample room, and is stocked with towels that feel like drying off with a cloud, paper towels, cleaners, trash, nice smart tv, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap. Beds were comfy. AC and Heat. Proximity to everything Was great. Walked to basically everything. Made our own coffee in the morning and there is also a water hot pot. They supplied a bag of nice coffee and filters. Liquor store super close, also a drive thru coffee shop across the street. Nice laminated welcome packet and a "what to do in Ely" guide provided. ZERO regrets about having booked this cabin!

Great place to rest your head

It is a great place to stay. It was not noisy, being next to DQ & on Sheridan, we wondered. Beds are comfortable, but a sitting area would be nice instead of the extra bed.
