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.

rooms were great except a lack of seating. The tiny bar stools are uncomfortable; I would take them out and put in a love seat and add a fourth chair, if our friends had come, there was no place for us to sit together.

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.

A Great Place For the Ely Half Marathon!

This was the perfect location for us to stay, while we were in town for the Ely Half Marathon. We could walk to the main park for the race, walk to dinner, and most importantly walk to DQ for our celebration blizzard. Great location and perfect little hideaway for the four of us. Thank you!

3 day stay in Ely

My daughter and I stayed in the cottage for three days. The property manager had great communication in how to get checked in and it was really simple. The cottage was very clean and well stocked for us. It is nice that it is close to all the shops and restaurants in town so it was a quick 2 minute drive to get dinner at night. We did a lot of hiking and the cottage was a great central location to all the trails we went on. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Ely.

I received a message with check in instructions in advance and a phone number if i had any problems. The property was clean and welcoming. It was quiet at night for sleeping despite being on the Main Street through town. The bathroom has been recently remodeled and is nice. I would stay here again. It’s small and cozy, but clean and comfortable.

UniquELY quaint….

I was actually impressed! It was the perfect layout, and the bed was as Cozy as I could have asked for. Very clean, organized and ready for the next guest. I’ll do it again the next time I’m in town! I sleep with the fan and it drowned out the road noise….. could affect others if you’re looking for silence.

Combinations

When we arrived we found another couple in our unit. They misread the email and went to our cabin. The real concern was that the combination code was the same for all cabins. This is how they were in our assigned cabin. We just decided to switch cabins. I would recommend having different codes for each cabin that are regularly changed for security.

What makes this property unique

This cozy space, approximately 700 sq ft, features two bedrooms and a compact bathroom. However, it lacks a kitchen and does not have a formal door separating the bedrooms, which might not be ideal for families with young children.

Despite these limitations, the location is highly convenient, with local coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance. Additionally, the Ely Dairy Queen is conveniently situated right next door.
