Beautiful place. Loved the location and the lake was so peaceful. Heard many loons and eagles because we believe there was an eagles nest nearby. I even scared a deer on accident. It was simply a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Quiet getaway

The house was spectacular, very clean and well laid out. Everyone had a quiet bedroom to retreat to each night, and the common areas were large and accommodating.I saw more deer from the house than I saw the last three years combined sitting in the woods, and I’m a pretty serious hunter. It’s really cool to wake up, be drinking coffee, and watch multiple deer walk right outside the window.Lake access was a breeze, and wile fishing wasn’t amazing, fish were still caught, including a 15lb pike. Marcus was very responsive, and very friendly. I highly recommend this property for your next up north adventure.

Best Ely Rental

Before you even arrive at the rental Marcus & Abby warmly welcomed us, provided info and communicated promptly! From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. The Northern Exposure cabin is tastefully decorated, clean, cozy, comfortable and plenty of room for our group. All have their own space and gathering areas. Loved the lake view and sauna. We used it every night. Even better when it snows. We snowshoed right from the house and nearby trails. We hope to return one day!! Thanks for making our stay TOP NOTCH!

Thanksmas Stay

Gorgeous views and very nice cabin! Host was extremely responsive to any and all of our questions. He even helped locate a left behind toy. Only recommendation is if you travel there in the winter make sure you have good tires and 4 wheel drive! Drive is steep and slipperly when that gorgeous Minneaota snow starts falling!

We had a wonderful stay at this property, which provided a perfect blend of activities and relaxation. The sauna was a highlight, offering a great way to unwind. The high-end appliances, along with the grill and smoker, made cooking a pleasure. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely rent this property again. 5/5 Rating!

West Family Ely Adventures

We loved our stay in Ely. The property is new, well equipped and setup nicely to handle large groups (we were 8 adults and one infant). Marcus and Abby were very accessible and addressed the few minor requests we had proactively (with follow up to make sure we were happy with the results). If we can get the crew together again next year - we will definitely come back to the Ely Cabin.

This cabin was so clean and spacious. There was so much room to cook meals, play games and spread out. The lake view is beautiful, the sauna was a treat and Ely is so close with lots to see and do. We definitely want to stay here again!

Family trip over fishing opener

The property is absolutely wonderful, we loved the layout of the cabin, how the space was decorated, and the location. We wouldn't change a single thing. We had an absolutely wonderful stay, and the owners were great with communication and promptly answered any questions or requests we had. I can't say enough good things about our stay.

Cozy, fun getaway

Beautiful property with a lovely little beach and fire pit. The cabin is very “open,” spacious and beautiful and the views from the bedrooms on the first floor are very nice. The kayaks and canoe are an excellent addition, they were much used by my family and I. Didn’t try the sauna but would love to come back and do so in the wintertime.
