A lovely, spacious cabin with cozy beds and plenty of room for our family of four and dog. 15 minutes from town and one minute walk to the lake - it was a great location. We used the canoes and went for hikes. It was a fun and relaxing MEA weekend!

Spacious and comfortable. We appreciate use of the kayaks to enjoy the lake. Ely is a cute town with restaurants and shops and a good grocery store. Very nice to be able to include the grand dogs.

Wonderful log house for a family visit to the Echo trail. Could use another couch or 2 in the kitchen fireplace area and kitchen sitting area. Water pressure is on the low side. Overall, we would stay there again.

Great Winter Getaway!

Great spot for a winter getaway. Access to the the lake for XC skiing (or snowmobiling), with trails to the neighboring lake. Close to the north arm trails for skiing too. Loved the sauna! Plenty of space for our family of 6. Would stay here again!

Wonderful Cabin/Home on the Echo Trail

We spent a nice week outside of Ely on Everett Lake. 2 canoes, kayaks and 2 paddle boards all with paddles and vests were part of the package. Our grandkids saw deer, a beaver and a turtle - they were busy outdoors. We loved the sauna and big table we sat around at meals together.

Beautiful place

This is the second year we’ve stayed at this cabin. The lake is very private and quiet. We love being able to kayak and paddle board without worrying about boats speeding by. The cabin is also well equipped and it’s not too far to town. There are also hiking trails close by.

Great lake cabin with room for activities

Great place to get away from it all with ample sleeping space for 8 people. Very pleasant, functional cabin. Access to Everett lake for some cross country skiing. We saw fox tracks, and maybe bobcat.

Nice location on Echo trail

Spent a quick weekend snowmobiling. Very well located for this (trail next to property but low traffic). Had some issues with heat and water that were manageable and being addressed by the owner who made things right.

This was the second time our family spent a week at this property. It’s spacious, clean, has everything you’d need for a week, and is central to all the great places to explore around the Boundary Waters, whether hiking or paddling. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable week!

Ely cabin

We loved our stay at this property! It is in a beautiful, peaceful setting. The lake is the perfect size. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoes available to our family, the sauna and Foosball were fun editions. We were able to all have our own bedrooms and we loved the large common areas for relaxation and family fun! The kitchen had all the needed supplies, as well as linens and towels. We appreciated the quick response from the owner of questions we had!

Lovely home

We enjoyed our stay at the Echo cabin. The owner accommodated us by allowing early check in, which was very much appreciated. There was plenty of room for everyone and we enjoyed spending time on the deck and in the common area playing games with family. There was a problem with water pressure in the cabin for a couple of days, but the owner walked us through getting it fixed, and was very helpful in this regard, getting it resolved. Everett Lake is a beautiful little lake and we enjoyed exploring neighboring lakes as well. Great fishing on Fenske!!

Edge of the BWCAW Echo Trail

Very nice house with an up to date kitchen. Definitely enjoyed the induction stove as we have in our own home. Plenty of paddling toys. We enjoyed beautiful lake paddle with swans and mergansers. Also enjoyed many beautiful nearby hiking opportunities. Thank you for the booklet of information about local hikes. As huge tennis fans we also enjoyed live tennis on Cable TV!!! What an unexpected treat. Thank you.
