Cabin vacation rentals in Ely

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

This cabin was wonderful. It fulfilled our needs while we were visiting family in the area. Location on the lake provided some beautiful sunsets. The host was great for communication. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautifully maintained house with plenty of space. Aaron was an excellent host and was proactive in thinking about what we may need for our week-long stay. The property was lovely and one could see the efforts to maintain the house. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and everything working as expected. Sound did travel well in the house so that is one thing to be aware of.

The home was so comfy with thoughtful details to make each area of the home just perfect. We loved all the special decor touches. We went to relax and got that for sure. Deer coming into the yard while we were using the outdoor hot tub was an unexpected delight.

The property is as in the photos, very spacious in the inside. Right on the water, only a minute or two from downtown Ely, but worlds away from the City. Nice setting, plenty of room for all in your group. Multiple levels, built to enjoy being on the lake, so many nice touches, and the kitchen is well stocked, with plenty of glasses/plates and everything required to feel at home. Plenty of towels! Hot tub is in a private setting! Second floor is reached by open stairway, includes an open area overlooking first floor, that includes conversation area with futon, and large bedroom with great view of sunrise and attached bathroom with shower and large jetted tub. We were just two, and felt comfortably together, larger groups will not feel crowded, and two cars can park in the garage, and they provide two remote garage door openers, so you do not have to get out of your car to open or close the garage door. Truly is like having your own place in the woods, if you were a millionaire!

Great cabin on the lake. Perfect for us to have a few days away. Loved our stay!

This is the best cabin I’ve ever stayed at Erik is so nice and helpful everything we expected at more needs better pictures to do it justice

Great cabin — comfortable, clean, quiet. Well-appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated interior. Spacious rec room with a very large screen TV. Easy access to boat dock. Mike, the owner, was staying in another cabin close by, he was extremely helpful and friendly. The cabin itself is in the community of Crane Lake, on the water. It sits in a row of similar cabins. A small store (fisherman-oriented) and couple of bar/restaurants are nearby, easily walkable. We used this as a base for day trips (hiking and canoeing) into Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters. You can also walk to and hike the Vermillion Gorge Trail from the cabin — recommended.

We stayed at John's place in the winter, and it exceeded our expectations. The place was clean and well-stocked. Running the log stove and sauna were a must, as they were the only way to stay warm. We saw a wolf and many other wildlife during our stay. Snowshoeing on the nearby lakes were a highlight. The trails marked by Dave were easy to follow, along with the maps they provided. If you are looking for a peaceful trip surrounded by nature, you found the right place! Thanks to John and Dave for being so helpful and responsive.

Stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Giant’s Ridge ski resort with a couple buddies of mine. The cabin was accurate to the description and is tidy. A few ants roaming around upon arrival as expected with a cabin in the superior national forest. Otherwise clean place. Nice and warm, well heated. Has a wood burning stove more for ambiance. The running water had the classic up north lake water smell, but that is also to be expected. Terra was responsive and helpful. Nothing to complain about if you’re looking for a boundary waters cabin experience. I would definitely come back for a summer trip to fish and kayak.

If willing to make the drive away from all signs of civilization, whether it be for golfing, skiing, camping, roadtripping or otherwise, Jody’s place will always come out on top. The Bear Den Lodge exceeded all expectations, and had so many fun touches throughout the place in addition to its reliable amenities. My party made use of most offerings such as the screened hut, sauna, grill, large backyard, game room, washer/dryer, and the fancy bath tub! There were hardly any issues, the place was pristinely prepared, welcoming to guests and bears (only fake ones), and secluded. The only problem that occurred was a fire alarm being set off by the grilling we did. Due to the location of the grill, it may be more susceptible to triggering the fire alarm. To combat this, we opened a few windows in the front of the house (away from the grill), and turned on all fans and air control units (which were excellently reliable). In short, tremendous place, and I would certainly revisit!

Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Well appointed kitchen with just the right equipment to be able to cook nice meals. Setting was beautiful, we really enjoyed watching the house birds and the changing weather on the water.

Wonderful place for a family getaway! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals. Toddlers, teens and adults were all entertained. Lovely accommodations, beautiful lake view

Staying here was so peaceful - like stepping into another world where time stood still! My husband and I were amazed at how different the Lakes were for being separated only a small channel at the north side of the cabin. Sunrise over 1 lake was met at Sunset over the other - spectacular! The fire pit was incredible and at night the lakes are as smooth as glass! The outdoor shower was fantastic and there were so many things to do outside from the sauna, canoe, kayak, peddle boat and floaties to all the games and books inside the cabin. Kim was incredibly responsive and we can't wait to go back!

Nothing but amazing. Plenty of sheets, towels, etc. Pots and pans along with solverware, and cooking utensils were in great shape. Bonus was the wood stove. Plan to come back again!

Host was kind enough to cover bag of firewood. Bedding was provided, and so was basic kitchenware. The listing indicated no "essentials" and I didn't realize there were no towels available.

We had a wonderful stay at Michael's lakeside retreat. The photos represented it well and we were especially pleased with the detailed directions for the route off the highway. The fireplace was a treat. Our only struggle was remembering which switches controlled which lights… even though many of them were labeled, we still had to guess/remember several times. The heaters in each room were effective and the kitchen was well-stocked. We certainly recommend Michael's North Bay Getaway.

A beautiful cabin for a winter weekend retreat with amazing surroundings and lots of privacy. Appreciated the heads-up regarding need for 4 wheel drive in the winter-- was easy going with our Jeep. The cabin itself was awesome and we stayed nice and cozy with the stove fireplace. Beautiful hiking just a mile away! We will definitely stay again!

This was my first time I rented an Airbnb. The overall experience was wonderful!! I thought the price was very reasonable. The cabin was clean, beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, and the wood burning fireplace kept us nice and warm. Definitely a great experience with nothing negative at all to say! I will definitely recommend this cabin to others!! Heather was great and communicated well and all the instructions were very clear.

great area, perfect for a cities get away, great place to come and relax in nature with your dog or significant other, I loved it and felt right at home

Great space and location, easy to get to many of the state parks and hiking trails. If you enjoy star gazing there is little to no light pollution and a clear view from the deck for enjoying the night sky.
