Nestled between Hidden Valley trails and Ely's cute downtown, a perfect homebase

This spacious property is the perfect homebase for all your Ely area adventures.

Northwoods Retreat
Our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and amazing. The view of the wooded ravine from the living room windows made you feel like you were deep in the woods. The apartment had plenty of space to spread out, while at the same time feeling cozy and comfortable. The facilities were better than advertised and Heather answered all of our questions. Heather, thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back again.

Close to town but feels well removed
Worked out great for my stay in Ely. Just outside town in a wooded setting - so a nice balance between environment and convenience. Price was very reasonable. I was not clear that there are other attached apartment properties on the site - was only drawback. But hardly even heard (never saw them) the others so no big deal in the end. If headed xc skiing or mtn biking - house is on the entrance road to Hidden Valley so incredibly easy access.

Pretty nice place to stay.
This was a nice place, however, the fact it is a multiplex was not touched upon in the description. There were at least 2 other parties there. They were in no way disruptive to our stay. Wouldn't have known they were there were it not for their vehicles. Just would have liked to known in advance it is a multiplex.

Ely great location.
Wolf center super close, Dorthy Molter Root beer museum super close. Hidden Valley Mountain biking and hiking trails super close. We Kayaked 5 lakes nearby our favorite Birch lake. We day camped at Birch Lake, a national forest campground for a few days and then came back to clean crisp sheets, showers and flush toilets. The shopping is great and on Tuesday there was an art and farmers market in downtown park. We went to Tiki Tuesday! Live Music at Mealey's Gift & Sauna Shop. What a great setting. It’s BYOB so we brought wine and cheese great setting with rocking chairs.. On the same Tuesday Brainstorm Bakery had Jillian Rae live on small intimate stage next door. Great local vibe, great hikes at Dry Creek, Basswood lake and Kawishiwi Falls Trail. Had a great time and had a VRBO bass camp that was large, comfortable, quiet and has Gas Weber grill on a deck facing the woods. Thanks Heather for great communication and sharing this property.

Nice Unit in a Great Location
Close to downtown Ely but away from the city noise and traffic. Large, clean, well-appointed unit with plenty of sleeping space and comfortable furniture and beds. Modern appliances with gathering areas both inside and out. If outside, insect repellent is a must at this point, but to be expected with the close proximity of the woods. It was nice to sit outside in the early morning...quiet and no mosquitoes!

Nice, spacious place
This "cabin" was really spacious - a large living area, nice big kitchen and two bedrooms that would accommodate at least 6 people. The kitchen had everything we needed, except a toaster. And if you intend to stay for a while, there is a large utility room with large washer and dryer. The location is nice - it's just a few minutes drive to get into Ely. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property to others.
