Cute property with all the amenities, convenient to town, clean and nicely thought outdoors
We spent the weekend in Ely for a family reunion and this little cottage was perfect. Cozy, comfortable, and inviting. My girlfriend and her daughter were absolutely in love with how cute this place is.
Our first of many blueberry festivals we absolutely loved the home. So much character yet all the conveniences to make our stay wonderful. Walking distance to downtown and the festival we enjoyed many meals on the deck. Super clean with grrat amenities and outstanding communication from our host. Can't wait to stay again
My friend and I stayed at Cedar Cottage for 5 days and we really enjoyed it. The cottage is beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. It’s located in a peaceful neighborhood, it’s quiet and calm outside, but still really close to Ely. We would stay there again, and highly recommend it.
Very comfortable and cozy property! Quiet neighborhood and close to all shopping and restaurants. Home had all the necessities and very clean. The one suggestion I have is to have a k-cup type coffee maker. I would definitely recommend this property! We had a wonderful stay in Ely!
This was a super clean and cute home. We felt very comfortable there and it was so nice to come out of the BWCA to such a clean, comfortable home. I definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore the Ely area.
This is a small home but it is as cute a place as you can imagine. And the host, Stephanie, is just as kind and accommodating as you could ever hope for. We highly recommend this place for you!
The Cedar Cottage was small, but super cute and comfortable. Very clean. Everything we needed was there and located close to attractions and all the shops. Loved sitting out by the bonfire each evening.
We loved our stay and will book this again. It’s an adorable cabin/house in Ely. You can walk to the downtown. It’s a very clean and cozy home, suitable for up to 4 adults. It might be tight with little kids, but there’s so many outdoor places to explore nearby. We were enchanted! It was too warm to use the fire pit this time, but we hope to next time!
Spent a long weekend with daughter & granddaughter. Fantastic time in Ely. Hostess was very informative and left books & games for our granddaughter. She enjoyed the stuffed bear on the bed the most.
Highly recommend this cottage as a rental and Ely, MN
Nicely remodeled little house in town. The yard games and wood for a little fire in the backyard were great. One thing to keep in mind is no air conditionin, which may be a consideration.
