Bonnie was wonderful to work with leading up to our stay and also checked in on us periodically during the stay to make sure that everything was perfect! The owners Monica and Tim were on site when we arrived and were both incredibly nice.The apartment itself was gorgeous and immaculately clean, all of the pictures were accurate for the condition of the property! Nothing but great things about the stay, and we'll definitely be booking again in the future!

Very nice place. Felt warm and welcoming the moment we walked in the door. The balcony was nice for watching the deer grazing in the woods. I don't expect to be back to Ely, but if I did go back, I would look to stay here again! Thank you for a with free experience!

Clean, spacious and super comfortable

My wife and I stayed for a weekend mid-winter. Although the outside temperatures were in the minus 20s (Celsius), inside we were very comfortable and warm. Property had everything we needed and much more, from towels and coffee in abundance, to three queen-size beds, a large kitchen and large living room. An ideal place to stay.

Best VRBO Rental in the State

If there was an option to leave a 10-star rating I would! This place was fantastic and has great amenities you don’t see at other rentals. We had a group of 4 fisherman and this place had ample parking and power outlets outside and the inside was clean and had everything anyone would ever need. Fantastic place and will be back!

Felt like home!

This is basically an AMAZING cabin themed apartment- but it's secluded, at the edge of town. However, it's only a short walk to Ely's downtown, or a short walk to Shagawa lake We cooked 4 out of 6 nights as the kitchen is well stocked - we even gathered June berries and made a pie!

You’ll like it … do rent it 😊

It was a fabulous modern, updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental The extra touches including fully supplied kitchen/baths, comfy beds, furniture, patio chairs/table, big screen tv were all very appreciated The area was very quiet and a close drive/walk to trails and the main street It is a second floor unit so hopefully stairs do not pose a problem for anyone you’re traveling with It was a great rental and would definitely stay again

Great Set-Up

The lodging was clean, modern, updated, and they had everything we needed for our stay. Very thoughtful and responsive hosts. We could not turn on the TV and they arrived in less than 10 minutes to fix the issue (a breaker had flipped from a recent thunderstorm). No complaints and I highly recommend this for lodging while in Ely.

So VERY Pleased!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property. We had family staying in Ely and at Fall Lake Campground, so this was the perfect location. The property was well stocked (actually the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed in), extremely cleanly (I didn’t think twice about my 16 month old and 3 1/2 year old playing on the floor), and a great set up. It was so clean in fact, we lost a toy in the couch cushions, and I was dreading looking for it. When I pulled up the cushions there wasn’t even one speck of crumb! It was cleaner than my couch at home. The property manager was extremely pleasant to work with and extremely punctual when replying. The kids had a blast at the beach and playground that’s just down the street. My dad and I took advantage of a 4 mile walk around Miner’s Lake that’s just down the street as well. We will absolutely be staying here again!

This is our second time staying here and we had just as wonderful experience! Great communication by the host was helpful. The rental is in an ideal location, being close to town, bike trail and lake. Excellent neighborhood to walk in. Perfect and roomy for our two families. Nature right out the back door too…we saw a Timberwolf (out of window in distance) one morning and deer often. Highly recommend and hope to return myself one day.

LovELY Stay

Our family of 6 loved our stay at the upstairs “apartment”. It was very clean and very well stocked with more than just the basics. We appreciated all the extras and enjoyed exploring Ely. During our summer trip we were even blessed to observe a bear one morning in the backyard wooded area. What a special treat!
