Ely
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (54 reviews)
"I enjoy lodgings that are beyond cookie cutter motel rooms. Cabin #1 fit the bill. Loved the furnishings and more modern design. Such a refreshing change. Super comfy beds. The traffic on Main Street didn’t bother us a bit because of the location on the quieter east end of town. And just an empty parking lot away from the Dairy Queen!"

Also really liked the feeling of having our own “cabin” as opposed to a hotel room, it felt very private & safe. The price can’t be beat compared to other local listings. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area!"

It has the coziest norther MN vibe with such a huge hard and easy, walkable access to downtown Tower, MN. Love the decor!The property was super clean and cute! Easy kitchen to make a bunch of meals in and enjoy together and nice set up for the living room to watch a movie in when it stormed. The basement was perfect for the family that came with kids with space...
