About this property

This cabin is located on the shore of Garden Lake and its 100% Solar Powered. Just 8 1/2 miles east of Ely Minnesota and 1 1/2 miles off the Fernberg Road on Garden Lake. It is a year-round cabin that is beautifully built, quiet, relaxing, and very secluded. Perfect for a couple looking for a very private romantic lakeside vacation or a small family wanting a taste of Canoe Country. No need to bring bottled water as a result of a 300+ foot well. The BWCA is accessible by water, and Garden Lake is a wonderful spring fed lake great for fishing. A large dock is great for your boat and you can fish off the dock to your hearts content. No HP limit on Garden Lake.

The cabin has a very open floor plan with the kitchen, dining area, and living room all connected around a wood burner. A wall of windows gives great views of the lake and nature. The owner who spent his winters here enjoyed his 4 legged neighbors who came to visit. The TV has Direct TV and Starlink beams in the internet.
The bedroom off the living room has a full sized bed. The loft has 1 full and one twin bed + an air mattress.
This cabin is under new management so the old listing is not available but it had 57 five star reviews and has been available for guests for 20 years.
This is your chance to be a part of this a wonderful experience and join all of our repeat guests who come year after year to be in nature.

Perfect Garden Lake stay

This was our third stay at the cabin and it was just as great as our first two. The cabin is in a great location, not far from Ely but still remote enough to give you that getting-away-from-it-all feeling. It's a very cozy cabin, especially when you have a fire going in the woodstove. It's well-furnished and is in a great spot on Garden Lake with a nice dock for lake access. It's a wonderful place to relax, swim, fish, observe wildlife or just curl up in front of the fire with a good book. Check-in was super-easy and the cabin had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Perfectly secluded getaway

This place had it all. Quiet secluded location, dock access, wildlife (squirrels, chipmunks, swans, birds, and deer) plus fall colors. Didn’t catch too many fish but time on the lake was serene. Cabin had gorgeous views and was fully equipped. We were sad to see our time end. We hope to visit again!

Great private getaway on Garden Lake

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We made friends with the chipmunks and rabbits and bought birdseed for the birds, and filled up the hummingbird feeders while we were there. We saw and heard several loons on the lake and really enjoyed our canoe trips. Ely is a great little town! If you’ve ever seen the movie with Chevy Chase, called Funny Farm, Ely reminded us of the town of Redbud. We have two suggestions. Provide more towels and get at least a queen size bed. Sleeping in a double bed can be challenging with your partner so you don’t fall off! Lol! This cabin is very secluded and tucked away in the woods. FYI bare right when you see the first fork in the road! My husband and I really wish we lived on this property!

Peaceful and relaxing stay

We absolutely loved this stay in Ely! The dock fishing was great for my husband and the nice and private location was nice for my kids to run around and play. This location was also a short drive to Ely which made running in to town for necessities a breeze. Thanks for a wonderful time away from home! ❤️

Nice place

Well the bird feeder was great saw so many different variety birds and 3 hummingbirds. Went for a walk at dusk on the trail leading up to the cabin and saw a bear eating berries! While we didn’t catch any fish or get any bites this place is perfect for canoeing. Had fun swimming right off the dock and the sunsets were amazing. Loved it.
