Beautiful View

The view of the lake was amazing. Loved the wood burning stove. My husband and I stayed for our Anniversary and it was a nice and cozy. The stairs to the cabin were surprise and not fun to carry all our stuff up and down. Otherwise a great experience.

Everything about the property is as advertised. It was clean, comfortable and located on gorgeous property. We enjoyed the fire pit, some swimming and it was close enough for hikes near Ely and the North Shore.

Yearly escape

We love this little cabin on the lake. The quiet, secluded area makes it ideal for relaxing. We met more neighbors this time and found everyone to be so nice! Fishing is usually really good and the swimming is wonderful with clean water and no weeds!

Great secluded cozy cabin!

My family of 2 teens and 2 adults had a fantastic say at this cozy cabin. Despite the fickle weather of October in MN, the cabin was comfortable. Beautiful views over the lake every morning. Fish weren't biting the long weekend we were there, but we had fun trying from the overwater porch. Definitely planning to come back again in the summer. For those who read the reviews to help with their packing here are my tips: bring coffee for a cone drip maker (no filter needed). and there was a coffee grinder there! The stove and oven are gas (yay!). The refrigerator was full sized, modern and spotlessly clean. Bring smores sticks with you. They were probably there in the kitchen, but just in case you can't do without them! It's a good hour + to the nearest place to buy groceries or bait, so plan ahead and bring what you need. There was a nice supply of paper products, tinfoil, flour/sugar/oil, shore lunch breading (!), and even a variety of spices (Penzeys). There is spotty cell coverage in the National Forrest, so don't rely on your phone to access driving and check-in instructions. We had no problems and regained coverage near the cabin, but I wished I had listened to the owner's clear instructions to PRINT THEM OUT in advance. Wifi and TV in the cabin were great. Great experience and would love to return. This is a really special place. Say hi to the otters for us!!

Need More Stars!

This place is unbelievably cool, what a great get away! We visited both the North Shore and Ely, but could have easily had a great time simply staying at the cabin. My husband caught his first Northern Pike, right off the deck. We enjoyed boating and loved our daily visits from the neighborhood loons and otters! Cant wait to start planning a next time!

Unique - Calm - Magical

Our family stays at many MN & WI cabins - always lakefront! But this location, literally on the water’s edge… is what UpNorth Woodsy fantasies are made of. Calm waters. Peaceful woods. Clear starry sky! So thankful we stayed here… already booked for next year.

Wonderful

We parked Friday night and never left the cabin. It was perfect and just what our little family needed. We canoed, and kayaked, and the teenager spent all afternoon in the lake. Took the kayak out for an early morning ride and saw an otter! The cabin was cozy and clean. Beds were comfy. Plenty of hot water for us all to take showers. It was the best end of summer trip!

Literally ON the lake

Quiet, seclusion, peaceful. The gentle breezes from being right on the lake kept the bugs away so we spent SO much time outside on the deck/dock enjoying the scenery. A few otters and loons came to visit. Loved this cabin.

What a gem!

Nestled right on the water, this cabin was everything I’d hoped it would be. You step out the door right onto the dock, where you can jump in for a swim or cast a line to fish. They supply a kayak and canoe, and there is a sauna on the property. The location is right in Superior National Forest, so there is plenty of hiking nearby as well. It was a perfect Up North getaway!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a friendly couple living in the Twin Cities who love to share our beloved Northern Minnesota getaway location with others!

Why they chose this property

Lake Mitawan is private, remote, and surrounded by the most beautiful nature we've ever seen! Our neighbors are the moose, loons, foxes, and deer. It's the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living and unwind in the fresh air and water that is unique to the North Shore of Minnesota.

What makes this property unique

When you step out the door, you are on a dock/deck and can launch a boat, jump in the lake for a swim, cross country ski, or snowshoe right from the front deck! We make it easy to explore by providing a canoe, kayak, fishing boat, sail boat, and snowshoes. The authentic, traditional Finnish sauna is a unique experience and will be the highlight of your cozy winter weekend getaway!
