My husband and I had the most amazing week here! Went fishing every day. Caught loads of fish around the lake. Even caught several off the dock, including a keeper walleye, perch, bass and northern! Sat and watched the northern lights from the dock one night. Grilled some steaks, went kayaking, saw lots of eagles and loons. Had a few campfires and enjoyed a cozy night by the fireplace. Jeff was great at accomodating anything we needed. He was quick to respond to emails. He was very respectful of our privacy. Enjoyed visits from Honzo the dog- very well behaved! We will definitely stay here again!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the peace and quiet and general lack of people around us. Loved hearing the loons. Fishing off the dock was great! Quaint cabin, well furnished and very clean. Thanks Jeff!
pleasant, comfortable, relaxing. jeff an iconic outdoorsman graciously provided content to areas of interest for us then respectfully let us discover our own adventure. walleye from the lake, huckleberries from the island--just a few of the finds. ...one picture sums it up.
This cabin is exactly as you see it. No tv- no ac- no problem! Quaint with everything you would need. We took the boat out and explored a bit if the lake.Jeff is very knowledgeable about the area.
Cabin was cozy, clean, and eclectic. We enjoyed reading the varied books, magazines, and newspapers in the cabin. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. Enjoyed sitting on the dock and riding in the boat. My husband even caught a few pike. Cabin was conveniently located for taking care of business in Ely. Host, Jeff, was a pleasure.
We arrived at 9:30pm on the agreed-upon day to find the cabin occupied. We texted the owner but did not hear back until after noon the next day, by which time we had been forced to make other lodging plans. He apologized, but too little, too late.
Staying at Jeff's cabin was nothing short but great! It's cozy and rusticâbut with a bath, running water, heat, and a kitchen. Perfect to bring kids and get them to enjoy the outdoors when it gets to cold for rent camping. (My 7 and 4 y.o. heard the wolves howl and caught a 30 inch Northern right off the dock.)
Jeff is a great host who accommodates to all your needs. We'll definitely be back!
Very nice cabin. Had everything we needed. We tend to use these as bases and are usually gone most of the day. Clear directions for checking out would be helpful. Had a wonderful stay
We had a wonderful time. The cabin is even more charming and welcoming in person than in the photos. We are almost disappointed we had too many things to do during our time in Ely ... we would have loved to spend more quiet time in the cabin. It was clean and tidy, had everything we could have wanted or needed, and had a very homey feel. Thank you! We will be back!
We had a wonderful time. The cabin is delightfully rustic but well appointed. So we were wanting for nothing and weâre entertained by all the many decorations. My wife and I loved the cabin. Enchanting is a good word.
Jeff, the owner was wonderful. He lives nearby so he is available for questions and help. He gave us a boat tour of the huge lake and allowed us to use a canoe and a small boat with a 15 hp engine. We used the canoe multiple times and caught many different species of fish: pike, perch, blue gill, brook trout. The cabin is about 100 paces from the lake, so fishing is easy to do for just an hour or two, or the entire day.
Jeff has a lovely camp dog too! Honsu is his name. Never barked.
Overall, great stay. Thanks Jeff!
