Adorable little home 6 blocks off "the main drag" of Ely with plenty of space and comforts to enjoy a long weekend. Michael was communicative and friendly, the check-in process was super easy, and our stay was pleasant and comfortable. It is obvious that there has been a lot of work and updating done on the home and we endorse your efforts.

My wife and I came to Ely, along with our dog, to visit our granddaughter, who lives in Ely. The house was very comfortable for us and the neighborhood nice for morning walks with the dog.

We stayed at Mike’s place for a month and it was perfect! Very clean, comfortable, and a short walk from almost everything. Mike was a great host- always very responsive and helpful. An excellent spot for an extended stay! Plus pets were allowed, which made the month possible for us! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Everything we needed plus more

The code was sent to me ahead of time. It was easy to get in. Parking in the back. Clean garage. Wonderful three season porch. Couches and beds are very comfy. A grill with charcoal and starter fluid. Shampoo and conditioner provided. Coffee with filters or single pods available. Ac/ heat available. We needed both because we had all 4 seasons in just a few days lol.

Wonderful!

Everything was wonderful! Couldnt have asked for better. From the moment we walked through the doors until we locked the doors behind us we felt at home. The check-in and check-out processes were easy to follow and our hosts even went to the extent of providing current guide materials to help us get our feet on the ground. We would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home.

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood

House was perfect for a fall weekend in Ely. We did some cooking in the kitchen which had everything we needed including morning coffee. Big screen TV in living room was perfect for winding down in the evening. Could easily walk the few blocks to downtown. Property owner allows access to park in the garage, which would be nice in the winter.
