- "My husband and I loved staying at the cabin for one week. We didn't want to leave! The cabin is set close to the lake with a beautiful view. We spent a lot of time on the lake fishing, swimming, and exploring. We enjoyed having access to various watercraft (i.e. canoe, fishing boat, pontoon boat, paddle board...there were other craft available too). The fishing was quite good (my husband caught several pike). The water was clear and refreshing. The hosts were friendly and responsive. The location is close enough to make trips into town.

Guest Reviews:

- "It was a girls weekend!! We had a great time despite the weather not being the best. We made the most of it. The cabin was clean and quaint, just enough room for us. There is very spotty wifi but we were not there to be on electronics. The Pontoon Boat was very nice and we enjoyed our time out on the small lake. The paintings on the walls and in the office are amazing. It would have been nice to have a fire pit at the cabin, however we did use the one on the beach."

Guest Reviews:

- "We had a wonderful time - swimming, taking daily saunas, playing games, making art, reading, relaxing and having fun together. Best dock for running and jumping into the lake. Grandkids (ages 7,4) enjoyed the freedom of running around outside by themselves, finding frogs and bugs, etc. Absolutely beautiful setting. Owner is very kind and helpful" - "This was our second year here. such a beautiful spot, and private, even though it is a fairly busy shoreline. Enough room around it to feel it is not your typical cabin rental - you can't see another cabin or person from your perch in the house. It's rustic and minimal and that's just the way we like it. The sauna was a big draw for us since it was on the chillier side this year. The dock is perfect, you can cannonball right off of it into the clean waters of Burntside. Cabin was tidy, linens nice, and it had everything we needed to cook. We will be back, this is a gem."

The area above the living area is open to the vaulted ceiling. The loft is open to the living area and has a double and single bed.

The island was 'spared' from logging in the early 1900's due to size, therefore we have first growth red pines. BEAUTIFUL!

We were not given check in information until 9:30am of our arrival date and this was after having to message the host the night before and then calling the morning of a little after 8am. No response from the host so I then reached out to VRBO to see if they could reach the host. VRBO also sent out messages with no response and they gave me two other numbers to try, one was main number for the cabins that went to voicemail, and another number which was the property manager which I had to leave a voicemail as well. This was obviously pretty nerve racking not knowing if we were going to still be able to leave for our planned vacation or not!?! But thankfully the property manager called us about a hour later. Still disappointing to have worry about this before a vacation…"

The Nordico Point Cabin
Cabin
Ely, Minnesota, USA

Welcome to Nordico Point.

Since 1984 our family has enjoyed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Our private 4.5 acres w/1200' of lakeshore reminds us of some of the most beautiful BWCA campsites that we have stayed at.

Nordico Point aims to provide a similar experience for those who still desire a wilderness experience but no longer want to portage or sleep on the ground. And paddling is 100% voluntary.

PS - you can launch a boat, too - small boat(16ft max - just no wake board boats allowed;)

We offer Nordico Point on the BWCA "Leave No Trace" motto. This means, we do not provide bedding, toilet paper or any cleaning supplies or clean-up.

Our aim is to provide a similar experience to the Boundary Waters but w/o the portaging or sleeping on the rocks part - if you know, you know;).

But this does mean you bring your own sleeping bags and all materials needed, including cleaning supplies, towels & toiletries to be self sufficient(yep, means Toilet Paper, too - just like the BWCA).

Nordico Offers 4.5 private acres of Northern facing private peninsula that reminds us of a BWCA campsite. It is situated on Mitchell Lake which has no public access and only has a resort and 10 other homes on it. So this means the fishing is similar to the BWCA, as well.

We provide an aluminum canoe as well as lifejackets and paddles (in the utility room inside of the 2nd bedroom) for you enjoyment of the lake.

You will have access to the entire home, as well as the 4.5 acres. the outbuildings and garage are for family use.

Guest Reviews:

- "This property was perfect for us and our dog to be at while we were having loud work done on our house. The paths were great for taking them on walks and ensuring they were not stressed out. We would love to stay here again " - "This property was exactly what we were looking for. The area was secluded and on a private lake which was perfect for our fishing trip. " - "We had a last minute pivot from a BWCA trip due to an ankle injury. This was a great choice. The lake has a classic Northwoods feel and the cabin is rustic with enough comforts to make it easy. We used the lake extensively, fished, paddleboarded, canoed and had day trips to Bear Head State Park and Ely."

This was a year round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

Guest Reviews:

- "Quaint 2 bedroom, freshly renovated. Amazing location in quiet protected bay. Nice beach area, where I kept my 18’ fishing boat. Loved the loons singing out front, and taking a dip in the clear water by the dock! Location right off blacktop, with plenty of parking! Not far to go exploring in town, where we biked the trails. Great Hosts! Would definitely go back!" - "Sweet cottage on the lake; all the comforts of home. 😊" - "What an amazing experience at this wonderful cabin!! If you're looking for that quinessential lake experience, this is your place! It was the perfect combination of a great location, cozy, clean cabin with modern amenities and the neat bonus of a sauna and kayaks. The host was wonderful and accommodating. We truly couldn't have found a better place for our first time in Ely--it's even better in person than the pictures. We definitely plan on returning here and highly recommend it to anyone considering this property!"

We were never afraid or uncomfortable being there alone. The mosquitoes were out in full force which hindered our outdoor time but we were warned ahead of time about the "State Bird".

Nordico Point
Cabin
Morse Township

Welcome to Nordico Point.

Since 1984 our family has enjoyed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Our private 4.5 acres w/1200' of lakeshore reminds us of some of the most beautiful BWCA campsites that we have stayed at.

Nordico Point aims to provide a similar experience for those who still desire a wilderness experience but no longer want to portage or sleep on the ground. And paddling is 100% voluntary.

PS - you can launch a boat, too - small boat(16ft max - just no wake board boats allowed;)

The space
We offer Nordico Point on the BWCA "Leave No Trace" motto.

Our aim is to provide a similar experience to the Boundary Waters but w/o the portaging or sleeping on the rocks part - if you know, you know;).

Nordico Offers 4.5 private acres of Northern facing private peninsula that reminds us of a BWCA campsite. It is situated on Mitchell Lake which has no public access and only has a resort and 10 other homes on it. So this means the fishing is similar to the BWCA, as well.

We provide an aluminum canoe as well as lifejackets and paddles (in the utility room inside of the 2nd bedroom) for you enjoyment of the lake.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire home, as well as the 4.5 acres. the outbuildings and garage are for family use.

Cabin
Fall Lake Township

Our camp is off road, off grid, on the edge of the BWCA. 2 cabins, sauna, outdoor kitchen pavilion, fire pit, beach and dock on Fall Lake near Ely. 20 minutes to town, 3 million acres of wilderness out the door. Fish, canoe, swim, explore woods and lakes. Spend your time here or use as basecamp for backcountry trips. See deer, eagles, loons, moose, bear, or hear a wolf howl in the distance. LED lanterns, propane cookstoves and refrigeration, get water from lake, or nearby well. Life on the edge.

The space
Hand crafted log cabins, overlooking Fall Lake, each with a gas cook stove, refrigerator, and wood stove for heat. Bunks and sleeping loft in each cabin, extra cots available. Sleeps up to 11-12 adults, up to 14 if you double up a couple kids in the wider bunks. Fire pit with pavilion and outdoor kitchen for summer cookouts. Wood fired sauna 15 feet from the lake. Aluminum canoe for paddling around. 3 double outhouses for when nature calls; two older ones behind the outdoor kitchen area, one new, light one just down the trail past the upper cabin. Camp is surrounded by conservation land and backs up to the Boundary Waters wilderness. You are wrapped in the forest with the lake at your feet. Water, woods, and endless sky.

NOTE: cabins are accessible by water only! You must bring or rent a boat or canoe, we recommend Packsack Outfitters. (URL HIDDEN)
Because of this and because we are not on site, linens, pillows and towels are NOT provided. You must bring your own, or a sleeping bag. There is a clear water well at the campground, where you put it. Also bring toilet paper, paper towels, batteries for flashlights and lanterns to use during your stay. Read the house manual thoroughly! Rustic, primitive systems need understanding.

Guest access
NO ROAD! Access the cabins across Fall Lake by boat, canoe, snowshoes or skis. You must bring or rent a watercraft to get there.
Sauna, old aluminum canoe, endless woods and water. Northern lights, loon song, eagles all free of charge.

Other things to note
The lakeside cabin was built by a young Finnish immigrant named Waino Maninnen in about 1930, and restored by me in the 1980's. It has a sauna built into the hillside beneath it. The hillside cabin, or "Cook's cabin" as we call it, was built by me from timber on the land in the early 1990's. Both cabins are well maintained and in regular use. I added a new tool shed and pavilion with an outdoor kitchen in 2013. My family has been coming up to this land since the 1930's,five generations now, and my siblings have several cabins further down the lake.
NOTE: Wintertime use is for experienced campers only! You must snowshoe or ski in, ice conditions on the lake must be taken into consideration, and the well pump is drained, so drinking water must be packed in. Wash up water can be gotten by chopping a hole in the ice near shore. Winter use is not for the inexperienced or faint hearted. Conditions can be very harsh, with extremely low temperatures, deep snow or high winds. Frostbite and hypothermia are real options. I love the place in wintertime, but you must know what you are doing in an off road, severe environment.

Private, Comfy Cabin Perfect for Skiing and Hiking
Cabin
Slim Lake

Location, location, location! Our family cabin is 17 miles from Ely but right at the start of the North Arm Trail system. A private path leads you directly to the skiing and hiking trails that meander through the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Please note motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails. The cabin itself is light filled and warm with four different sleeping spaces, two bedrooms, a loft and a downstairs family room.

The space
Built in 1995, our cabin offers contemporary conveniences, sizable space, and lots of privacy. The cabin is set on a hill across the road from our other cabin on Lake Burntside. The setting is very quiet and very private. This beautiful, light-filled contemporary cabin boasts large windows, an open floor plan, and modern amenities: two full bathrooms (with showers), a dishwasher, gas stove, laundry, a wood burning stove, and a small TV with DVDs. Despite the isolation of the setting, the cabin also offers premium satellite WiFi. On warmer days, sit on the deck or take a nap on the screened porch. Come evening, light the wood burning stove for a delightful retreat from the cold nights of fall and winter. Furnishings are a mixture of Scandinavian styled, mid-century, and contemporary pieces.

There are four sleeping spaces. The primary bedroom has a queen bed, the secondary bedroom has one twin bed, and the loft has two twin beds and one full-size bed. There is also a full sized sofa bed in the downstairs family room. A screened-in porch and a spacious deck invite further relaxation. Because of the ladder, we do not recommend that crawling babies, toddlers or small children stay in this cabin.

The kitchen is fully equipped for anything you want to cook or bake. We have satellite WiFi as well as games and books. Downstairs is a family room stocked with DVDs for a vintage TV and video player.

Finally, please note this is a family cabin on the edge of a wilderness area. You may still see downed logs from the great storm of 2022. Know that we intentionally leave the landscaping very natural to benefit the wildlife whose home it is.

Guest access
The house plus 10 acres of forest. It is very private.

Other things to note
You are welcome to bring snowmobiles but please be aware that the bank to the lake at our other property is quite steep and neighbors do not wish for vehicles to cross their property.

If you are fishing, please do not dispose of entrails in the lake or near buildings. Thank you!

The nearest groceries are in the town of Ely, about a half hour drive.

The space
This charming cabin, only 19' from the Shagawa Lake shoreline, was recently remodeled with guest comfort in mind.

New appliances, gas fireplace, washer and dryer, walk-in shower, bedding and towels allow our guests to focus on vacationing.

The cabin has two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin beds. In addition, the living room has a comfortable queen size pull-out bed.

The kitchen is stocked with all the tools you need to prepare your meals. In addition to the electric range, the chef will appreciate the choice of gas or charcoal grilling. Reliable WiFi is provided for those working remotely.

Outside, a fire pit surrounded with six chairs will provide hours of fun. Imagine the tall tales of the day spent fishing, your family reconnecting as you enjoy a favorite beverage and food while the kids play along the shore, or quietly relaxing while the waves lap on the rocks and a loon's cry can be heard in the distance while the fire crackles and snaps.

Shagawa Lake is known for its great fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and dog sledding. During summer a dock is available for our guests (boat not included). Bring your canoes or kayaks, and your pup, too! Outside there is plenty of parking for boats, trailers, and trucks making this home perfect for a wide range of sports year-round.

The cabin is peaceful and provides the feeling of being away from it all, yet it’s only a ten minute drive to the city of Ely. The county road where the cabin is located is part of the ATV/UTV trail system and at the south end of the legendary Echo Trail leading to multiple Boundary Waters Canoe Area entry points. Snowmobilers can access trails and the lake straight from the cabin’s parking area. (Trucks not allowed on the lake.)

With all these features and amenities, and the wonderful year-round lake views, we here at Echo’s End are excited to invite you to stay with us and make this your home away from home.

Leaning Cedar Cabin next to the Boundary Waters
Cabin
Fall Lake Township

The leaning cedar cabin is a rare remote access only find. The extra effort to ski out during the winter or paddle/motor out during the warmer months is rewarded by the quiet and private location. The cabin is perched above Farm Lake overlooking the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the east. The two acres of property are perfectly situated for skiing or snowshoeing on the lake and through the woods. And after a day out ice fishing, no better way to warm up than in the sauna!

The space
As described, this cabin is remote access only. There's no road leading directly to the property so you get to ski or snowshoe in the winter across the lake to the cabin. In the warmer months you can paddle or motor your boat to the dock. Guests will need to provide their own canoe or small motor boat to access the cabin (or be able to ski or snowshoe in the winter) from the Farm Lake public access launch and parking lot - the same parking lot Wilderness trippers use.

The cabin is heated by a wood burning stove and we have plenty of firewood available for you to use. Lighting is provided by propane gas lights as there is no electricity running to the cabin. This also means no wifi but there is full cell coverage at the cabin and in this area of the Wilderness.

There is a wood stove sauna building on the property as well that you will be able to use - the perfect way to warm up after a day out ice fishing, skiing or snowshoeing in the Boundary Waters.

In the summer, there are two canoes with paddles that are included with the cabin for you to use for trips into the Boundary Waters.

This is your chance to get away from it all and have the comforts of a cabin as close to the Wilderness as you can get.

Guest access
The full cabin is available as is the sauna. The boat house by the water has small kayaks, 2 canoes and paddles for your use.

Other things to note
FAQs:
- Guests provide their own transportation to the cabin. If you don't have a canoe we recommend Ely Outfitting Company or Piragis Northwoods Company as outfitters who will rent you a canoe.
- motor boats are ok - but they need to be a small fishing boat. Please inquire if you intend to take a motor boat out.
- You can call Timber Trail Outfitters and ask if they can provide a water taxi. We do not have any agreement or relationship with them, but some guests have arranged a ride through them.
- The cabin is remote and off grid! It's like the Boundary Waters but with a roof over your head, comfy beds and a kitchen to cook in! There's no running water (the lake water is straight from the Wilderness and clean) or electricity. This is your chance to unwind from it all and enjoy nature and the solitude of the Boundary Waters!

The entire cabin has new floors added in 2023. This cabin is located on my families property which also features a stone cabin and a 4 bedroom cabin. Those are not part of this Airbnb rental, but if you'd like to rent those as well, that MIGHT be a possibility, I would just need to know ahead of time.

Ely Log Cabin - Off Grid+Solar+Wifi-Set on 40Acres
Cabin

Reset and restore at this cozy log cabin, set on 40 acres of idyllic northern Minnesota landscape. Though connected through Starlink Internet, you are otherwise transported back in time, when things were simpler, and less chaotic. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, an off grid experience, or simply solitude - The Ely Log Cabin is sure to deliver an exceptional, and memorable experience. You won't want to leave this unique getaway that's just a 15 minute drive to the heart of Ely!

The space
The cabin sits on 40 acres of heavily wooded land. Feel free to explore as you like. The cabin has two queen beds in the loft, and one pull out queen sleeper sofa on the main level. The stairs to the loft are very steep, and not recommended for young children, or guests with mobility/strength limitations. There are not any blinds/room darkening shades in the loft, so if you are light sensitive in the morning, please ensure you pack an eye mask.

The cabin has a cooktop with two propane burners - there is not an oven. So, pack food that you can cook on a stove top or grill! There is just a small mini fridge at the property, as well as a decent sized cooler - so you may want to pack a few bags of ice for the cooler/additional cooler(s) if you plan to bring a lot of food and/or are staying for a long duration. The mini fridge does have a tiny freezer area that can fit up to 3 pints of ice cream.

Please understand this is an off-grid property, and runs off of solar and propane powered generator - therefore mindful use of things that require electricity - lights, hot water showers, and water in general all require a lot of power to operate. We ask that no hair dryers or crock pots be used as they are massive drains on the energy supply.

During times of limited sunshine the generator will need to power the cabin, though it is outside, you can definitely hear it inside of the cabin. Should you stay at the cabin during a snowstorm, it is advised that you go out to the solar panels and use the snow rakes to remove snow, so the panels can draw sunlight.

Should you have a need to sleep up to 8, message us about adding on the Dove Tail bunk cabin for $100/night.

Lastly, we encourage guests to come with realistic expectations and be ready to enjoy the wilderness - it's a cabin in the woods!

Guest access
You are welcome to use the entire property, including the updated outhouse just adjacent to the cabin!

If your dog is prone to barking or may chew/scratch anything in the cabin, we kindly ask that you leave them at home so we can continue to offer dog friendly accommodations.

Please note: If you attempt to bring your dog and he/she is NOT on the reservation you will be subject to a $200 fee.

CANCELLATION
We adhere to Airbnb’s Firm cancellation policy. We are not able to accommodate last minute cancellations due to weather. We highly encourage guests to opt in to the travel insurance that Airbnb offers to cover your booking should you need to cancel last minute.

Two Ultra-Secluded Lake Cabins
Cabin

Take in coveted crystal clear, 5-mile Cedar Lake (6 miles from Downtown Ely) on 500 ft. of lakeshore with one large cabin (full amenities) and one seasonal small cabin (rustic- ask for availability). The property borders Superior National Forest with no neighbors in sight. Great walleye fishing off the dock, comes with several canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and paddle boat, or drop your boat in. Enter the BWCA 3 miles further up the Cloquet. Right on snowmobile trails with great ice fishing & hunting.

The space
The two cabins are roughly 300 feet apart, offering complete privacy. Both are equipped with full kitchens. The main cabin has a full bathroom with a tub, while the little cabin features a seasonal bathroom. Both cabins have unlimited tankless water heaters.

The little cabin is seasonal and rustic (the little cabin bathroom has an unfinished shower but it has a seasonal outdoor shower)! If you'd like to use the little cabin during your stay, please enquire with me at the time of booking. It does not have running water or a toilet in the winter, and it is not plowed during snowy months. This is reflected in the discounted seasonal pricing. However, it does have heat, making it a great extra bedroom or cozy hang-out space with a working stove and small propane heater. 

The main cabin, approximately 700 sq. ft., has a private king bedroom. Under the king bed, there's a full mattress that can be pulled out for a child or placed anywhere in the cabin for an adult. There's also a built-in daybed that’s comfortable for an adult, and the couch is great for sleeping as well. The main cabin accommodates up to 4 adults but only one bedroom for privacy. It has a very effective wood stove as well as forced air heating.

The lake is right out front, with a dock that can hold two boats. Feel free to message me about renting the small fishing boat or an 11-person pontoon.

The smaller studio cabin (approx. 450 sq. ft.) has a king bed, a rustic pull-out couch (some guests prefer just the couch), and two twin beds in a small loft — sleeping up to 4 adults total or 5 people with two smaller kids in the loft, with privacy for only two. It has both a wood stove and a propane heater, which provides plenty of warmth for winter stays. There is also an outdoor shower. Again, note that in winter, the little cabin has no running water or toilet, but remains a heated and usable space if arranged and agreed in advance.

Enjoy great hiking and mountain biking right from the cabins — message me about bike rentals! Fishing is excellent off the dock, or ask Paulina or me for the best walleye spots (including right in front of the cabins) if you rent a boat or use our canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards.

The hot tubs are small “cowboy” style soaker tubs — fresh-filled with tankless water heaters and comfortably fit two. One is located by each deck. The sauna is a cozy infrared unit inside the main cabin, only for one adult. 

Please enjoy your stay!

Outdoor shower • Hair dryer • Body soap • Shampoo • Hot water • Room-darkening shades • Cleaning products • Bed linens • Bathtub • Extra pillows and blankets
