About this property

Northern Exposure Modern Log Cabin

  • Cozy up by the gas fireplace, pick a book to read or game to play from the stocked bookshelf or grab a cup of coffee and relax in the rocking chairs on the lakeside porch. Located on Shagawa Lake, near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Here you are sure to experience all the year-round fun Northern Minnesota has to offer when you book this spacious, modern, log, lakefront cabin in Ely, Minnesota. Named ”Northern Exposure Cabin” because the cabin is perfectly situated for stargazing and Northern Lights sightings. A great fit for large groups (2932 sq ft), friends, multiple families or generations – comfortably sleeps seventeen people.

    The Property

    Located on Shagawa Lake (known for great Walleye fishing) with 238 feet of private shoreline in Ely proper, this full log family cabin is perfect for hosting family & friends. Designed to be used all year around, the cabin is a great escape in the winter for those who like to ice fish, cross-country ski, snowshoe, snow mobile, dog sled, read books and/or play board games. In the warmer seasons, the day's adventures can be a mix of hiking, paddling, swimming, biking, fishing, 4-wheeling, picking berries and exploring the town. Anytime of the year you can begin or end your day with a traditional sauna experience! This is the perfect place to call your home away from home.
