Top Ely Hotel Reviews

Loon Cabin at Wilderness Wind, Ely, Mn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location right on a very nice lake. Amenties were as described and the camp host was friendly and informative. This experience is what we hoped for when planning a "Northwoods adventure.""

Four Season Retreat - Modern And Secluded White Iron Lakeshore Cabin on 5 Acres

10/10 Excellent

"This place was a dream! It’s very private - we could’ve spent the whole time out on that lake, but it’s also so close to multiple waterfalls and amazing hikes! The house itself was so beautiful - very clean, every utensil you’d need, and we even played some rounds of ping pong downstairs. Host was great and had good communication throughout the stay. Simple check in/out. We went right after the 4th of July, and it was perfect weather. It got a little warm during the day, but it was perfect with the windows open and stayed nice & cool at night making for the best sleeps ever! We usually try to always stay somewhere new, but we both agreed that we definitely want to come back to this one!"

Stunning 4 Season Lake Burntside Log Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"I almost hate to write the review because I'd like to keep this place to myself! Let me start with the beautiful cabin, it's exactly as it looks in the photos. The view of the lake is stunning, the dock is in great shape and the sauna is very nice. The hosts are beyond accommodating, I highly recommend staying on this beautiful property on Burntside Lake. We will be back ) Kelly M."
