Nestled between Hidden Valley trails and Ely's cute downtown, a perfect homebase

This spacious property is the perfect homebase for all your Ely area adventures. If you mt bike or nordic ski, or just like to walk beautiful trails through the woods, you'll love the convenient, quiet, and forested location. If you like restaurants, the arts and fun-outdoorsy shops, you're in luck too - located at the city limits, less than a half mile from the grocery store. If you need a jumping off point into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, this is your spot as well, with amenities such as a deck, a dishwasher and a full laundry room.

November-December considerations for family gatherings are the well-appointed kitchen and large dining table (new pictures just uploaded!) Hidden Valley Nordic Ski trails are also groomed early season, sometimes as soon as Nov 20th (fat biking is a shoulder-season option of course too!)

Peaceful Place to Stay

The location is ideal. It is within a couple minutes of town, and yet out in the woods and nature. We loved being able to use the wood stove and being within walking distance to the International Wolf Center. There were a couple maintenance issues when we first checked in, but the host quickly took care of them.

Northwoods Retreat

Our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and amazing. The view of the wooded ravine from the living room windows made you feel like you were deep in the woods. The apartment had plenty of space to spread out, while at the same time feeling cozy and comfortable. The facilities were better than advertised and Heather answered all of our questions. Heather, thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back again.

Home away from home

Spent a week at the property on a fishing trip. Was a fantastic place to come home to after a long day on the water. Within minutes of Ely and several lakes that we fished. Owners accommodated my 21’ boat and were great with any questions we had. Plenty of room for 2 dads and our 2 sons. Just a great week of fishing and a fantastic place to relax. Definitely recommend!
