Charming vintage lakefront cabin w/ Wifi in BWCA

New listing!

Get ready to relax in this 1-bedroom, vintage cabin at the edge of the BWCAW - 6 mins south of downtown Ely. This adorable retreat features a cozy living room heated by a wood burning stove. A full kitchen awaits you with a standard gas cooking stove, cast iron pans, and everything you need to cook a feast. Admire gorgeous views of the lake through the expansive windows while reading, enjoying your morning coffee, or cuddling up by the stove after a long day of adventure. This is the perfect place to unwind with family after a day of exploring town, paddling, fishing, hunting, or playing right out in front of the cabin on the lake and private swimming area. With an acre of property, it's both quiet and private.

The separate bedroom boasts a comfortable queen bed (Simmons Beautyrest), luxury cotton linens, and down bedding, ensuring a good night's sleep for guests. Listen to loons while you fall asleep.

With Starlink WiFi available and Verizon cell phone reception, you can stay connected during your stay.

We look forward to hosting you at our place!

Please note: this is a 'dry' cabin, common to the Northwoods - meaning it has electricity but does NOT have running water. However, there is a weekly serviced outhouse outside, and plenty of drinking & dish-washing water provided, with a full sink, stove, microwave & refrigerator. It's like glamping, but better!

This unique 450sf cabin boasts original vintage 1950's details, meticulously maintained, so please care for this special place as you would your own. :)
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, a stovetop, and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We loved staying in this cozy little cabin. It was exactly what we were looking for and the price was excellent. The bedding was comfy, the setting was nice and we really enjoyed the wood stove. The cabin was nice and clean and perfectly accommodated my husband and I. We would love to stay again next time we are in the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It was very beautiful and cozy. The host was vary good to work with and made the process very easy. The only part that was difficult was try to find the lock box on the fence. I was not aware that there were cameras on the property but I understand why they are there. Over all though the stay was wonderful.
