Fishing fun

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!

Ely Getaway

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 don’t have a single negative thing to say about our week there. We even saw a black bear!

Cozy, Quiet, and Beautiful

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 couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

Great Fall Getaway

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!

Comfortable home base near the BWCA

Property was lovely, comfortable and close to Ely, but not too close. Marcel was a delightful host and very helpful. This home was a great home base for exploring the BWCA with all the luxuries and comforts of home. I will be returning next summer if all goes well!

Got out of the City!

The cabin was very clean, simple and comfy. We enjoyed everything about the cabin: space, rooms, bathroom, movie room, ping pong table, kitchen. It was snowing so we did not get to enjoy the lake, but we did a small trail walk to the dock. I’d come back and see what the summer would be like.

About the host

Hosted by Marcel Gajownik

Host profile image
Love the outdoors and living off the land in Ely is a future dream.

Why they chose this property

Would you believe me if I told you this property found us? A perfect compromise between me and hubby....upscale inside while remote outside.

What makes this property unique

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.
