Best Resorts in Ely

"The only thing I didn't like was Expedia booking. They charged me two nights when I only am staying one night. I changed my date and they haven't removed the 2nd charge. Does Expedia act like the airlines now? I changed my date thru Expedia. Maybe I should've cancelled and started over and I wouldn't have two nights charged."

"Been staying at The Mountain Inn for a number of years now and it’s always clean, front desk staff are wonderful, it’s quiet!"

"Cool, 60s motel vibe. Very clean & comfortable, owner was super friendly & helpful with our questions about the Mesabi Trail & local dining options. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Nice Lake Superior view. Wish we booked a longer stay (two days not enough)."

"Great place t stay in the heart of Ely. Headed to the BWCA for canoe trip. Walkable location, onsite parking, and friendly staff. "

"Beautiful place right on Garden Lake with access to the Boundary Waters! The motel had comfortable beds and a basic kitchen. My son and I borrowed a canoe for the day and had a beautiful, long paddle to BWCA. We also visited the Wolf Center, hiked, and had a great tour of the Poineer Mine. A very peaceful spot to come home to on our vacation— we hope to return! "

"Pet friendly, friendly owner, morning coffee"

"Very nice cabin. Clean and well kept. Having the John boat and canoe were a nice bonus seeing we were on an island. Lol. Host was very responsive and Rob was too. While we were there it got cold, so we needed to use the gas burner cast iron heating unit. Couldn’t get it lit and they were very helpful on that. Reading the instructions became helpful. Another knee slapper. Push in the knob while igniting with the pilot button. The instructions were on the floor attached to the legs. Hard to read, so maybe put those instructions in the great information binder that was there. Unfortunately for us, the four days we were there it got cold, windy, and rainy. Just kept coming at us. Late in the season I guess. We thought to use the john-boat with trawling motor and regular motor to fish and go into Ely, but with water and rain, we hunkered down. Great overall experience. "

"All around good place to stay traveling up the North Shore."
