Summary: Loved the place and the indoor wood fire stove! Would recommend to a friend. There was also a canoe that was just wonderful to take out and paddle around the lake. There were a lot of flys but they left a fly swatter and we put that to use. 5 out of 5.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at this snug and cozy cottage in a private and serene bay. It’s not a luxury property, and only spritly parties will be able to comfortably make the treck up the winding staircase, but this property oozes north woods charm. The house has board games, puzzles, a tv with access to movies, and had a well-stocked kitchen, complete with plastic bags and spices. My kids loved picking wild raspberries and catching frogs, and we loved watching sunsets over the water and stargazing at night. If you’re prone to complain about thread count, this isn’t the property for you, but if you want to create amazing family memories I cannot recommend highly enough.

Summary: This was our third stay at the cabin and it was just as great as our first two. The cabin is in a great location, not far from Ely but still remote enough to give you that getting-away-from-it-all feeling. It's a very cozy cabin, especially when you have a fire going in the woodstove. It's well-furnished and is in a great spot on Garden Lake with a nice dock for lake access. It's a wonderful place to relax, swim, fish, observe wildlife or just curl up in front of the fire with a good book. Check-in was super-easy and the cabin had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Summary: This place had it all. Quiet secluded location, dock access, wildlife (squirrels, chipmunks, swans, birds, and deer) plus fall colors. Didn’t catch too many fish but time on the lake was serene. Cabin had gorgeous views and was fully equipped. We were sad to see our time end. We hope to visit again!

Summary: My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We made friends with the chipmunks and rabbits and bought birdseed for the birds, and filled up the hummingbird feeders while we were there. We saw and heard several loons on the lake and really enjoyed our canoe trips. Ely is a great little town! If you’ve ever seen the movie with Chevy Chase, called Funny Farm, Ely reminded us of the town of Redbud. We have two suggestions. Provide more towels and get at least a queen size bed. Sleeping in a double bed can be challenging with your partner so you don’t fall off! Lol! This cabin is very secluded and tucked away in the woods. FYI bare right when you see the first fork in the road! My husband and I really wish we lived on this property!

Summary: We absolutely loved this stay in Ely! The dock fishing was great for my husband and the nice and private location was nice for my kids to run around and play. This location was also a short drive to Ely which made running in to town for necessities a breeze. Thanks for a wonderful time away from home! ❤️

Summary: Well the bird feeder was great saw so many different variety birds and 3 hummingbirds. Went for a walk at dusk on the trail leading up to the cabin and saw a bear eating berries! While we didn’t catch any fish or get any bites this place is perfect for canoeing. Had fun swimming right off the dock and the sunsets were amazing. Loved it.

Summary: This was our ninth year staying at the cabin. It’s quiet, tranquil location keep us coming back. Fish off the dock, canoe, swim or float in the lake, sit on the deck - experience it all. Very relaxing and close to town if you want to go shopping, get an ice cream or grab some dinner.
