Cabin vacation rentals in Ely

This cabin was amazing. It was cozy and well stocked. We went during the coldest months and we found plenty to do. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting by the fire. Definitely would recommend and return. Chad was a great host and checked in on our group!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Laura's cabin is beautiful! The location is private with beautiful woods all around. The cabin is decorated tastefully and is very comfortable. We were delighted to find the kitchen had lots of pots and pans and utensils and all the staple are there too - which was very helpful for cooking at the cabin. The hot tub is easy to care for and was a true highlight! The cabin gets great light. As three friends traveling, the only issue was there are no doors to bedrooms, so being comfortable sharing one big open space is a consideration for your group! We had a wonderful time!

We had a fantastic time at Anne & Daryl's cabin in Ely for our February cross country ski trip. The location is perfect. Only minutes from all the outdoor winter activities anyone could want (hiking, cross country skiing, ice fishing, dogsledding), yet only a couple miles from the amenities in Ely. The cabin is perfect for 3-4 people. We enjoyed looking at the frozen lake in the early morning and evening hours, and watching the deer parade by just a few yards from the cabin! Anne and Daryl were excellent hosts, with accurate and timely communication. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

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

Had an absolutely fantastic time staying in Cynthia’s place. Smooth communications and checkin/out; rooms are very warm and cozy, amenities all work well, great location too. Will definitely rebook if returning in the future!

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.

I was looking for a place to stay for a few nights along the north shore, general Duluth area and came across this cabin. Was a great place to stay for my first winter trip up north, and the caretaker, Mike, was super helpful and showed me around and how to use the sauna, which was a great addition. Great location, not far from Two Harbors or even Duluth, but far enough that the night sky was pretty bright with stars. Would definitely come again if in the area.

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.

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.

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!

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 people and wonderful to work with! We were up to snowmobile with our kids. Plenty of room, right off the trail and super friendly people. Love to stay here again.

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!

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!

Wonderful Cabin in a wonderful location! We planned our trip around our anniversary in February and while we were aware of the need for all-wheel-drive, our Ford F150 had a hard time with the steep and icy drive, probably mostly due to the weather conditions at the time, but know it is a very steep hill to access the parking area/garage but more than worth it if/when you get to the top. We had a great stay, and loved the cabin and surrounding area.

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.

Landy's place was a quaint, and rustic cabin in the gorgeous and pristine setting of the Northwoods. We loved waking up to the fog rising from the Lake, and having our morning coffee by the water. Described as expected, with no electricity or running water we packed as if we were tent camping and we felt prepared for our stay. Our family stayed up late by the light of kerosene lamps playing cards. It was a great bonding experience and a welcome get away from wifi and technology. The boat rental was a plus, and locals were very friendly and welcoming to us.
