A Cozy Retreat

“Stayed 4 nights and loved it. Cabin was clean and cozy, loons on the lake, wood stove kept it warm at night. Hosts gave great tips, including a quiet lounging spot off the beaten path. Ely is a cute nearby town for coffee and supplies. Dock was perfect for coffee in the morning and stargazing at night. Would book again, great spot to unplug for a few days.”

Unforgettable experience

“We very much enjoyed our stay at the Ely Pioneer Resort! The accommodations were spacious, comfortable and clean and the the lake view was awesome! We enjoyed watching swans swim in front of the home. We took advantage of the picnic table on the deck to have our lunch. The walking path is accessible and downtown Ely is close by. It was a great weekend getaway!”

Lovely Getaway

“This cabin was the highlight of our trip. Spotless, warm, and so well stocked, it felt like a home away from home. The wood stove made the evenings cozy, the beds were comfortable, and every little detail was thought through. Loved sitting on the porch with coffee in the morning. Would happily stay here again.”
