Set on two private acres with 250 feet of sandy shoreline in a quiet bay, the home offers comfort, privacy, and year-round adventure. Enjoy the flat lakeside lot, beach, sauna, docks, patio, fire pit, grill, Adirondack chairs, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard. Inside features two bedrooms, an open living space, good internet, and a Smart TV, all just 10 minutes from Ely.

Set on a sandy shoreline, this uniquely flat lakefront property offers easy access and year-round enjoyment. The elegant yet comfortable 1,500 sq. ft. home features two bedrooms, an open-concept kitchen and living room, a dining table for six, a modern shower, laundry, and plenty of space to relax.

We will leave you a list of our favorite local spots to visit on the lake, as well as a map to the snowmobile trail.

The property faces north and overlooks the lake. When conditions are right, it is not uncommon to see northern lights. This was a year-round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

This was our second stay and we had a great trip. Cabin was as expected and we loved the new addition of the sauna. Great wade-in beach for our small children. Responsible and helpful host when we needed something. Ideal location - peaceful in nature and close to town. Would stay here again.

This was our 4th visit - we absolutely love this location and cabin. The addition of the sauna is amazing. It is so peaceful and beautiful. The cabin is exactly as advertised, clean and welcoming. Instructions are easy to follow and Kelly/team are super responsive. My only suggestion is that you should bring your own coffee mug! The morning views are perfect for a big cozy mug, but only tiny coffee cups in the kitchen. Go to town and get an Ely mug and support local business while enjoying the amazing lake!

We had a wonderful stay at Kelly's cabin. The location is perfect - close to Ely for shopping or to grab a meal but a quiet lakeside stay. We loved taking the canoe and kayak out in the morning or at sunset, reading on the dock, roasting marshmallows. We were also lucky enough to have clear skies during the Perseid meteor shower and saw so many over the lake! The cabin itself is great - especially with a new kitchen, nice shower and comfy beds. The weather was perfect while we were there so we barely used the AC, but nice to have! The living room couch could stand to be cleaned/replaced but that was the only small improvement we could think of, and we'd happily stay here again next time we're in the area!
