Nestled between Hidden Valley trails and Ely's cute downtown, a perfect homebase

This spacious property is the perfect homebase for all your Ely area adventures. If you mt bike or nordic ski, or just like to walk beautiful trails through the woods, you'll love the convenient, quiet, and forested location. If you like restaurants, the arts and fun-outdoorsy shops, you're in luck too - located at the city limits, less than a half mile from the grocery store. If you need a jumping off point into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, this is your spot as well, with amenities such as a deck, a dishwasher and a full laundry room.

November-December considerations for family gatherings are the well-appointed kitchen and large dining table (new pictures just uploaded!) Hidden Valley Nordic Ski trails are also groomed early season, sometimes as soon as Nov 20th (fat biking is a shoulder-season option of course too!)
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

We had a great time and enjoyed all the games to play. The wood stove was a plus to keep us extra cozy while having family time. Thanks for a great place to getaway.

Peaceful Place to Stay

The location is ideal. It is within a couple minutes of town, and yet out in the woods and nature. We loved being able to use the wood stove and being within walking distance to the International Wolf Center. There were a couple maintenance issues when we first checked in, but the host quickly took care of them.

Northwoods Retreat

Our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and amazing. The view of the wooded ravine from the living room windows made you feel like you were deep in the woods. The apartment had plenty of space to spread out, while at the same time feeling cozy and comfortable. The facilities were better than advertised and Heather answered all of our questions. Heather, thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back again.

Close to town but feels well removed

Worked out great for my stay in Ely. Just outside town in a wooded setting - so a nice balance between environment and convenience. Price was very reasonable. I was not clear that there are other attached apartment properties on the site - was only drawback. But hardly even heard (never saw them) the others so no big deal in the end. If headed xc skiing or mtn biking - house is on the entrance road to Hidden Valley so incredibly easy access.

Pretty nice place to stay.

This was a nice place, however, the fact it is a multiplex was not touched upon in the description. There were at least 2 other parties there. They were in no way disruptive to our stay. Wouldn't have known they were there were it not for their vehicles. Just would have liked to known in advance it is a multiplex.

Ely great location.

Wolf center super close, Dorthy Molter Root beer museum super close. Hidden Valley Mountain biking and hiking trails super close. We Kayaked 5 lakes nearby our favorite Birch lake. We day camped at Birch Lake, a national forest campground for a few days and then came back to clean crisp sheets, showers and flush toilets. The shopping is great and on Tuesday there was an art and farmers market in downtown park. We went to Tiki Tuesday! Live Music at Mealey's Gift & Sauna Shop. What a great setting. It’s BYOB so we brought wine and cheese great setting with rocking chairs.. On the same Tuesday Brainstorm Bakery had Jillian Rae live on small intimate stage next door. Great local vibe, great hikes at Dry Creek, Basswood lake and Kawishiwi Falls Trail. Had a great time and had a VRBO bass camp that was large, comfortable, quiet and has Gas Weber grill on a deck facing the woods. Thanks Heather for great communication and sharing this property.
