Winter wonderland!!

House location is wonderful!! It was great in winter but I bet even better in summer. Proximity to town was perfect. The game room was an absolute blast and the views from the main room were phenomenal!!

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!

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.

Great destination!

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 Reunion

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.

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.

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.

Modern Ely cabin does not disappoint

We absolutely loved our stay in the cabin on Shagawa Lake. We're long time Ely campers, but this was our first time staying closer to town and in a private cabin. Everything was as advertised! Even though it is closer to town it still feels private and like you are cabin deep in the woods. The cabin is so well laid out with tons to do! Host was very responsive.We absolutely will be back!

Couldn’t have been better

What a beautiful cabin. We couldn’t have asked for more. Hosts were helpful and welcoming. My only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to try out the sauna. Next time. Thanks so much!

The perfect place

This was the perfect place for our stay with 11 friends. Even though the weather was not perfect, we used all of the “toys”. A little canoeing, a little kayaking. And admittedly, only a little paddle boarding, Standing up is hard. We started up the sauna, baked for awhile and jumped in the water. And rode our bikes along the bike path into town that is just across the road. When we were done playing, we had great showers, puffy beds and shared meals. We would return here again for certain. This beautiful house was a major part of a really fantastic gathering of friends.

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

The house was absolutely beautiful as pictured. We loved everything about it - the spacious living room, sauna, and game room! We especially loved playing game after game of Pac-Man and utilizing the upstairs large table to work on a Christmas puzzle. We enjoyed the sunset views over the water while we sat around the bonfire. The location was great for us. We enjoyed being close to town to grab coffee in the morning and to check out the shops. We experienced some trouble with the oven the night before Thanksgiving, but Marcus was quick to respond and sent a maintenance guy over right away to help. He checked in and made sure our stay was going well. We really appreciated their care and communication. We hope to come back to enjoy all of the wonderful amenities again. I will be recommending this place to all my friends who plan to visit the area.

Relaxing retreat

Our multi-generational family of 10 (ages 16-83) spent an amazing 4 days enjoying this lovely home along the shores of Shagawa. The pictures online are gorgeous, yet nothing compares to the actual in person experience. So much detail and love went into every aspect of this home, from the layout (bedrooms on one side of the home and kitchen/entertainment on the other, with windows giving a spectacular view wherever you happened to be) to the decor which was colorful, interesting and historic! The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to dine in and the mattresses and pillows were all quite comfortable. There were plenty of activities to keep us entertained, both indoors and out. We also enjoyed the close proximity to Ely shops and restaurants. We certainly hope to return. Communication with Marcus and Abby was seemless and they made us feel very welcomed. If we could give this property a higher rating, we would!

Great Ely escape

Great place! Just outside of town, but very private. Great place for all ages, our group ranged in ages from 69yrs to 1yr. The kids absolutely loved the kayaks and sandy beach area. They guys used the dock to tie off the boat, it is nearly brand new and sturdy. All appliances are brand new and work very well. Beds are memory foam style and very comfortable, everyone slept well! Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy! We did not use the sauna but it is nicely maintained. We also did not use the fire pit as we were there during a burn ban due to drought, but the firepit is a nice size with plenty of wood! There are some very large spiders by the dock area, which was a shock for those of us who had never seen a boundry waters wolf spider, but the kids found them fascinating! There is so much to do in Ely or surrouning areas, and the lake is absolutely beautiful! Thanks, Marcus and Abby!
