Wonderful spot!

Everything was very clean and true to the listing. It was a great location. We enjoyed the kayaks. We were happy to see beavers and loons during our stay on the lake. The host was quick to communicate back when we had questions.

Lovely location on the lake. Cabin is older but very cute and comfortable. Enjoyed visiting Ely and the shops and amenities there. Fishing was good. Caught enough for two meals and froze enough for two more meals at home. Boat launch is conveniently located close by. We would book again.

Great place to stay very homey. Generous accommodation like a two kayaks and a bunch of entertainment options like floaties. Lake is difficult to swim in very comfortable and clean water just lots of rocks. Bring water shoes if you plan on swimming.

Northwoods beautiful retreat

This home up in the woods has an amazing view of Bear Island Lake. It is very private and peaceful. The home decor includes many items from the 1950s but is well furnished with modern amenities including wifi, internet TV, comfortable beds and furnishings. The Nespresso coffee machine is makes an amazing cup of coffee in the morning. The owners were very responsive and terrific to work with.

Amazing, cozy cabin with incredible views and lakefront access!

This place was fantastic! Cozy with a ton of cabin charm--it felt like home the minute we walked in. There's a nice blend of outdoor and throwback furnishings with some modern updates that make the home an amazing place to spend time with family and just relax at the lake. We brought our own kayaks, but our teen utilized one of the ones on property as well to try out something different. The large porch has a great view and was a nice place to have an outdoor dinner. The giant firepit overlooking the lake was a fantastic feature. The cabin overlooks a quiet bay area where we could fish from the dock or swim when the winds picked up and we didn't want to paddle in a bigger section of the lake. This was the most relaxing vacation spot we've been to in a long time, but enough amenities with the lake that there was no shortage of fun to be had. It's a close drive to Babbitt and Ely as well, so easy to get out of the woods for a bit if you want to grab dinner or go shopping.
