We had a nice time staying at this property. The outdoor property was absolutely beautiful and being able to use the canoes and kayaks was great! The water was nice and calm.
Nice clean house, very short walk to the lake. View of the lake from the kitchen was amazing. Only thing that would have been better is if it had ac as it was warm when we were in Ely and even with fans going it was almost too hot to sleep at night.
The location of the property was fantastic! We really didnt hear anyone else around us and access to the water was right on the property. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and more! We had a lovely couple of days using the kayaks, saw some wildlife that included a black bear. Great memories were made! Thank you, Marcel!
The cabin was beautiful and clean. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/utensils. The view is out-of-this-world. They also had movies, games, and books for entertainment. There were 2 metal tandem canoes and 2 sit-in kayaks to use too. I donât have a single negative thing to say about our week there. We even saw a black bear!
We had a fantastic stay! Cabin was as pictured. We had two nights of fantastic fires outside. We brought our own wood but the cabin is well stocked with wood for indoor and outdoor fires. Kitchen is well stocked, bathroom was great, water gets hot right away! Beautiful views from the cabin, lots of deer! Good communication, they checked in to see how we were doing. We didnât need anything. Will stay again!
Our group was my husband and myself, our two young adult sons and their girlfriends. There was plenty of space for all of us, the location was very private, quiet and serene. The views were beautiful and we skied and snowshoed right on White Iron Lake - just walked down from the cabin. We made all of our meals there and the kitchen was beyond well equipped. The table comfortably seated 6 and we had fun playing games and keeping a fire going in the wood burning stove. It was a short and pretty drive to Ely and we went into to town to do a little shopping, get to Miners Lake for some ice fishing and to hike the Kawishiwi Falls Trail. The house was clean, the bathrooms and giant tub were so nice and we enjoyed sitting on the deck with blankets and enjoying the view.The basement is so nice and offers a full, cozy, second family room with a 2nd large TV and a room with a nice ping pong table. This is NOT a complaint, just a heads up that it was very chilly downstairs in the winter weather. We did have a fun ping pong tournament and one couple buried themselves under blankets and wore hats to watch a movie on their own, but if you are counting on it as a separate hang out space in the winter. We are really looking forward to returning this summer and enjoying the kayaks, the dock and the fire pit. The hosts could not have been any kinder or faster in their replies.
Nice cabin in a great location. Perfect for our group of 6 adults to re-engage. The fireplace kept the main level cozy. Could have used some heat in the lower level to make it more comfortable, but still enjoyed playing ping-pong. Big shout out to White Wilderness Sled Dog Adventures! The combination of this great home with an all around awesome dog sledding experience will be remembered as a favorite family trip.
Even though we were just 2 hours from home, we enjoyed our quiet time here. We planned our trip for some snowshoeing and fishing. With frigid temps of -25 to -35, we ended up doing a little site seeing in Ely and scouting lake accesses and entry points for future summer and winter camping adventures. The cabin was cozy with the wood burning fire place, has plenty of space for 6 adults to play games, paint canvases, and enjoy the NFL playoffs. The host was easy to communicate with, and the cabin was very clean and welcoming.
This was a dream location for our family to spend Christmas. The location is peaceful and secluded. The cabin is picturesque with the wood burning stove and beautiful lake view. It had a very well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to make our meals including a wonderful Christmas dinner. We couldnât have been happier with our stay!
Beautiful cabin with stunning views of the lake. Water level was really low from recent drought, so we ended up not using the canoe and kayaks as it would have been difficult to get them in and out of water. Lots of space, fully equipped kitchen, and great firepit. Close to Ely and lots of hiking spots. Highly recommend!
If you enjoy the northwoods and pristine waters, this is your VRBO choice. Plenty of comfortable sleeping space, well-equipped kitchen, great views of the lake. Well-kept. We used the fire pit; so grateful for the dry birch firewood provided. We did not find a poker, and that is a recommended addition. Also recommend guests bring their own tissue boxes, as neither bathroom had them. Owners asked us to remove our own garbage and start the laundry upon departure, which was a bit surprising, but an easy do. Overall I would recommend the property to other adults and teens. Outdoors would be challenging for safety of young children.
We had a great time!! We went out fishing in boundary waters and it was nice to come back to a house with all the accommodations after a couple long days of portaging our fishing boats. Awesome fire pit, plenty of room for all the guests.
Beautiful dock, a bit challenging to get to with many rocks and a steep incline/no railing. Very nice to have canoes/kayaks available to use. Great outdoor hangout area! The cabin was comfortable and had many amenities for having dinner. Also loved how close to Ely this property was for in-town entertainment.
Our youngest put it best when she rated this fantastic cabin âcab-tasticâ :) Truly a spectacular location, peace, serenity, and natural beauty only minutes from Ely. Lovely home, one of the best equipped kitchens of rental homes weâve stayed in, and all around thoughtful details throughout. It was everything we hoped for and more. Immense thanks to Marcel for being a wonderful host!
Part of property is considered Federal Forest..a quiet place to wander or truly explore. Enjoy NW sunset views from main floor balcony or just sit on a boulder to watch the sun setting.
While we are paddlers more than boaters, both are allowed on White Iron Lake which connects with Farm Lake, South Farm Lake, and Garden Lake. An easy paddle to Kawishiwi River is the perfect destination with ability to canoe direct into the BWCA...a dream come true.
While only 7 miles into Ely, our cabin feels like a million miles from civilization.
