The hosts greeted us as we arrived and showed us around.They very accommodating to our needs. We have family close by that was unable to join us for supper one night so we were able to cook everything and bring it to them. Thank goodness the cabin had everything we needed to do this. They even brought us over a pressure cooker.The log cabin was open and inviting,great views though not real close to the water. It was quiet and serene. Thanks so much for having us.

Every aspect of our trip was wonderful! Great hosts. Highly responsive and communicative hosts. Great location, out of town but nearby. Time and again we marveled at how well stocked the kitchen, and the rest of the cabin, was. For those not familiar, the Ely area offers tremendous outdoor recreation opportunities for those with a variety outdoor skills and fitness levels. The hosts were a great source of information about the area, and there were numerous maps available at the cabin. Our dog, Fritz, was very welcome, and he had a blast! There are large open areas for dog play which is unusual in that neck of the woods. We are planning our return trip now!

Nice home base near Ely

We enjoyed our time at this cabin. It has a great kitchen that was probably the most well-appointed of any cabin at which we have stayed. It is, as advertised, on the second floor above a garage in a unique home built by family of the owners. That gives a great view from a high deck, but also means you need to lug your weeks worth of stuff up the stairs. It was clean and homey. Hosts were exceptionally helpful and live in home nearby. We brought a small Lund boat. Although there is an option for putting in by their dock, my suggestion is to use the public dock just a few minutes boat ride away. We loved fishing around the islands in the lake. Great week for our family.

What an awesome retreat!

The house is cozy, and the bedrooms have plenty of space around the beds for your things and getting changed. A lot of cabins don’t, which isn’t a problem for me, but it was nice to feel like I was in a normal room.The beds and furniture are comfortable, everything you need for dishes and food preparation is there. Cabinets and draws are clearly labeled. The refrigerator was sparkling clean and empty. I’ve stayed places that left others odds and ends like half empty bottles of salad dressing in the refrigerator and I hate that. No, I am not going to use some unknown person’s leftovers, and I need the space for my stuff (which all comes with me when I leave out of consideration for the host and other guests).The deck has wonderful views of the lake and sunrise, and has enough furniture to be pleasant but not crowded. Ely is only ten minutes away if you want to see places like the International Wolf center, but if all you want is a lakeside retreat, you’d never know Ely was so near.Definitely want to stay again, and next time I’ll bring my canoe. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Very nice cabin!

The cabin was great and was greeted immediately with the layout and any additional tidbits we may need. My only issue was inability to utilize the dock due to previous flooding. Beaching my boat was the only option. Beware of the rocks as the channel to lake is relatively shallow. Otherwise thanks for a relaxing stay.

Wonderful late May fishing!

White Iron Hideaway was a great little cabin for our family of four. The dock is easy to access and the bay was wonderful for our sons who were coming to catch walleye and northern pike. All of the largest fish on this trip were caught from the dock rather than out on the lake. The cabin has everything you need and more and the hosts, Pam and Phil are amazingly friendly and kind. If you are looking for an easy place to stay that is convenient to Ely, this is the place. Comfortably slept 2 adults and 2 teens and we could have had at least one more.

The best EVER!

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO locations. This was the best we have ever experienced. The house is close enough to the lake to hear the loons at night and in the morning. There are fields to run the dog off-leash. Pam has everything organized, labeled and available. If it isn't in the house, she will help make available what she can. We experienced quiet and solitude which was much needed. With that said, the house is close enough to town so as to have access to movies, music...shopping. I cannot say enough good about this location.

Cozy & Peaceful Getaway

We had a great time. Pam & Bruce met us on our arrival and were very helpful. Very nice, extremely well equipped and clean cabin. Loved the lake view and great to be able to have a dock to moor our boat and go in for lunch and a nap for hubby. Saw several deer in the front yard, tons of turtles, snow geese, beaver and a few eagles. Love how peaceful and quiet it was. Will definitely consider this place next time we visit Minnesota. Thanks Pam and Bruce for opening up your cabin.
