Cozy Lakefront Log Home

Our home is on Shagawa Lake across from the town of Ely. Steps go down to the lake with deck and dock to relax by the water in a secluded bay, great for viewing loons, eagles, beavers, otters and lots of other wildlife. Enjoy a good sweat in the wood fired sauna and then swim off the dock. It's an easy paddle to explore a group of islands just outside our bay. This house has two bedrooms plus an open loft. There is a jetted Jacuzzi tub in the main bath, and a pool table in the basement which walks out to the patio looking over lake. There are two kayaks and a large canoe for guests to enjoy. **A new dock was installed August 2022!**

It is less than a ten minute drive to town. Multiple hiking areas are near the property, and BWCA entry points are close by as well.

Shagawa Lake boasts great fishing and recreation. Semers park has a public beach, picnic shelter, and trails directly across the lake. There are several resort lodges on Shagawa, two with restaurants, and fishing boat and pontoon boat rentals are also available right on the lake.

The cabin works great for a cozy spot to base your snowmobile or cross country skiing adventures. We have two pairs of snowshoes you are free to use. Giants Ridge ski resort is 45 minute drive.

* Security camera on property with view of driveway only.

Well Needed Space
We had been on the road (RV) for a few months and needed some space to relax with our two dogs. From the beginning Mark made the entire experience seamless. He really treats you as his guest without even being there. The term “Mi Casa es su Casa” really exists here at this lovely lake house/cabin.

Outstanding cabin in gorgeous setting
A group of 4 old friends stayed 5 nights in this cozy cabin surrounded by trees and a lake view. Cabin was very comfortable, well located, many great amenities like kayaks, sauna, newer dock, fire pit, well stocked kitchen. Loved being close to Ely; hosts were excellent to work with; cabin is beautiful, peaceful, just the right level of rustic for us. We loved everything about it!

Super fun to do all the cabin things like canoeing, kayaking, s'mores on the fire pit, etc. in a clean and comfortable home. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs! My favorite was the loons calls!

Wonderful lake cabin vacation getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mark's lake loghome for a weeklong vacation. It had everything we needed to relax and hang out as a family (including our dog), whether rain or shine. The views are lovely, the home is well kept, and the amenities are plentiful. We also appreciated the quiet nook on Shagawa Lake while being a quick 10-minute drive into Ely.

Lovely cabin w/ amazing views
The cabin was well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. The grounds were well-kept and very inviting. The only negative point I can think of is the mosquitos were really out this year, but that's Minnesota for you. Maybe next time we stay, we'll give winter a try!
