It was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. The steps to the lake were very steep and some stones were wobbly and should be checked. As for the cabin it worked out great. Bunk house was cute…no one slept out there…the kids just played games out there a little bit. Good amount of space to spread out some times.

Very pleasant stay. We had a lovely family reunion. Cooked full meals in the well stocked kitchen and very much enjoyed the screen porch and swimming off the dock. The neighbors are close but we’re easy to live near. The yard is very large and we out hammocks by the water and spent hours napping and reading. Lovely little lake. Plenty of space for my husband and my mom and me plus our 3 girls who stayed in the bunk house. Very very nice

The cabin was spotless and immediately felt like home but with a spectacular view. Outstanding, serene, beautiful with beautiful drives into Ely ( 18-20 minutes) and peaceful, quiet, evening on the huge screened in porch listening to the breeze and lake waves. Heaven!!! Will be back!!! Laura was easy to reach with questions.

Cute cabin

Very cute quiet cabin out of town. Beautiful view right on the lake. That being said- you are in the woods. There are deer and huge spiders! Not the owners fault! She was super kind and gave great ideas on things to do. The home was well equipped and super charming.

Perfect spot for a family get-away

My husband and I, along with our dog, spent just under a week here in early October. The check-in process was a breeze, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the views of the lake were stunning. And we got to take in an amazing aurora display on our first night, as an added bonus. There were both steps and a meandering trail to the dock, and a spot on the east side of the shore to put in a kayak or canoe. The dock has a bench, making it a perfect spot for fishing or just a relaxing spot to get a way from it all. It is in a lake cabin neighborhood, and we did have a golden retriever roaming around the back yard on our first morning, so that it something to be aware of. This would not be the place for loud, boisterous kids and loose-roaming dogs. But, if you're fairly domesticated folks and you keep tabs on your pet, this would be a great place any time of the year.

The cabin was perfect. Very clean and had every needed from cookware to games to make our stay comfortable. The screen porch was the best feature.
