About the property

Experience the ultimate retreat at this serene getaway on Burntside Lake with a classic sauna and electric fireplace. Nestled just 65 feet from the lake's crystal-clear waters, this peaceful haven offers year-round tranquility, only 15 minutes from town.

Recently renovated with a charming nautical theme, the home is perfect for relaxation. Enjoy the expansive sand beach and private dock during warmer months. In winter, the bay location provides an ideal setting for snowshoeing adventures.

On a sandy shoreline, the property is uniquely flat, allowing for ease of access during all seasons. The elegant, yet comfortable home is approximately 1000 sq ft and includes 2 bedrooms, a dining table for 4, modern shower, and a large sectional couch. The east bedroom is larger and has a queen bed. The west bedroom is smaller and has two twin beds. The living room has a large sectional couch. We supply all your basic kitchen needs, linens, extra blankets/pillows, towels, and basic toilet items.

You will fall in love with the landscaping, docks, beach, and outdoor patio. There is a picnic table, grill, and several Adirondack chairs outside for your enjoyment. The lake is clear and shallow, even quite a distance from shore. We also provide a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard to make your outdoor experience something truly special. We will leave you a list of local spots we like to visit on the lake, as well as a map to the snowmobile trail for winter exploration!

This was a year-round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

You have access to the entire property. There is 250 feet of lake-shore and 2 acres of property. The driveway is private and the neighbors are a fair distance away, as you are in a secluded bay.

Ely can get significant snow in the winter. We will be out to snowplow each morning, however, the road is not conducive to small front wheel drive vehicles. You could struggle if there is a large snow storm. All wheel and/or 4 wheel vehicles should have no issues.

Here are some of the key updates:

New Kitchen: Equipped with modern appliances, perfect for culinary enthusiasts.

New Flooring: Providing a fresh and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.

New Furniture: Stylishly appointed to enhance your relaxation experience.

Updated Bathroom: Ensuring comfort and luxury in every detail.

Deck and Dock: Ideal for sun-kissed days and serene evenings by the lake.

Water FUN: We also provide a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard to make your outdoor experience something truly special. There are two adult life jackets on property.

These renovations, combined with amenities like internet and satellite TV, make this home an ideal retreat for those seeking comfort and tranquility by Burntside Lake

This is private neighborhood with very kind and helpful neighbors. We do ask guests to be mindful of our neighbors by keeping their noise levels and activities respectful.

We provide good internet for this remote lakefront location, making it possible to work, stream, and stay connected during your stay. The home also includes a Smart TV for your entertainment. Cell service is generally available, though it may vary depending on your provider. If needed, Ely also offers several coffee shops and a coworking space in town.

While we have a fire pit, we do not provide firewood. DNR approved firewood can be purchased locally at many of the gas stations in town. The DNR prohibits transportation of firewood from outside of the Ely area in attempts to slow the spread of invasive species.

We love this cabin on Burntside, this was our second stay. Modern, clean, complete kitchen gear, so close to the lake! The sound of the loons was amazing. Great location for boating or biking the Mesabi Trail. AC so nice for super hot days. Perfect relaxing up north vibe!

We loved our stay, and will most likely be back! The cabin is just so perfect. Spotless, with amazing views of the lake. The windows in the front room bring the outside in. We spent a rainy morning with the breeze blowing though and it was fabulous! The lakefront is nice. It was swimmable for the kids and taking the watercraft available out for a paddle was a highlight! The setting is classic Minnesota lake. Just beautiful, with a resident loon, pair of beavers and swan! Sitting by the fire pit listening to the loons call was perfection.

The Yacht Club Cabin was great! We loved the private location and the cute, cozy cabin. We enjoyed the quiet lake, the fire pit and outdoor spaces, and cruising around on the canoe was very fun (bring a life jacket)! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. We had a swan, some geese and a few ducks hanging out in the lake for most of our stay, and even saw a few otters pass by. Ely is a beautiful area with plenty to offer adventurers like us! We tried the Frisky Otter and Brain Storm coffee, both were good too! Thanks for hosting us! We will definitely be back!
