Perfect Burntside Lake Getaway

We loved our stay at this cabin. It's located in a calmer part of the lake, which was great for kayaking and canoeing. The owners were very easy to get a hold of and overall, just an overall amazing time! We will be back!

North Country Comfort

We truly enjoyed our stay and found the cabin to have all the comforts of home made special by its Burntside Lake location. The evenings during our stay were cool enough to enjoy a lakeside campfire, a glass of fine wine and the call of the Loons at sunset....doesn't get much better than that.

One suggestion

Beautiful property! We loved our stay. The only suggestion I have is you should consider getting a new mattress in the master bedroom. It was too soft and a bit lopsided. My neck suffered quite a bit. Everything else was quite wonderful.

Wonderful Week on Burntside

We were very happy with our week-long stay at the Somero cabin on Burntside. The cabin was very clean upon arrival and check in was easy. The location is great, the town of Ely is only a short drive away, and its spot on the lake is very peaceful. The small beach and zero-entry water access is great for kids, and the private dock is a bonus. To note, the area around the dock is very shallow and larger boats may have a harder time docking. The grill is also great for outdoor cooking. The inside of the cabin was very nice and comfortable with plenty of space and items needed to prepare food and hang out. We had a great week and would definitely recommend a stay at this clean and peaceful cabin!

Extremely Peaceful and Rewarding Family Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay: the photos of the property and “cabin” do not do it justice! It sits on a quiet, peaceful part of the lake. Deer walked across the beach in the morning, ospreys glided over the water, and loons called as the sun set. The beach was sandy and shallow, and the water was the ideal temperature for swimming. The canoe and kayak lent themselves to many adventures. Our hosts were exceptionally responsive and patient with our questions, which was greatly appreciated!

The lake setting is wonderful. The kitchen is a bit dated and could use some updating. The biggest issue was the interior still had air fresheners in it when we arrived and towels and bedding had been washed with fragrance fabric softeners. So, my wife could not sleep in the bed due to reacting to the smells. She is very sensitive to artificial fragrances.

Quiet Time Up North

We only spent 2 nights up north but this provided a fantastic getaway for me and the kids. The property was right on the lake and I was able to take the younger ones out on the lake in the conoe. The older ones, we rented paddle boards from an Ely Outfitter and they enjoyed taking them out on the lake. Well worth the money if you have teens as the lake location is ideal - not too much boat traffic.

Our 8 day stay

We have rented many properties over the years. All about the same price. This property has a great lot with a sandy beach. A canoe and kayak to use. It said “newly remodeled”. I’d say updated but not the kitchen, A total disappointment . Old and kinda dirty. I could look past the cabinets taped shut with white duct tape and the cabinets topped with enormous silk flowers with moth type flies going in but could not get past the lack of thought put into the needs of renters. If you plan on making meals bring your own stuff. There were 3 small sauce pans,a small frypan, a small dirty cookie sheet and a baked on glass dish. If you want to boil some pasta forget it. There are 7 glasses. (4 of which are corona beer glasses. ) and a few coffee cups. Utensils that look like discards and a drawer of tossed in silverware with half in a ziplock bag??? The linen for the kitchen was stained ,the extra linen was basically ballled up in a shelf and if someone were to need to sleep on the pullout couch there are no blankets.it was too hot for it anyway. There were 5 of us for a while. We laughed that the one closet,which was large , had 5 hangars. One for each of us. A nightstand with a light would be great so you don’t have to get out of bed to shut off the ceiling light in the bedroom. It just seemed like there was not much thought. A trip to the dollar store might take care of some of these things. A previous review stated they wish there were more pots and pans and they chose not to follow through. If you want to charge the prices of the others places we have been you need to step up to that level. Quality is huge.
