We couldn’t have asked for anything better, the big windows made the view of the lake even better and the beds were very comfortable. Great host, we will definitely continue to book with them!

Absolutely wonderful experience for my family! My wife and a couple of my kids had never been to Minnesota before (my oldest son and I have been on a couple Boundary Waters trips in the past). They fell on love with Ely and Burntside lake. It was awesome to have the canoe and kayak for us to use. We did not want to leave!

Everything was absolutely perfect! Loved every moment and hope we get to return one day. The deer, adorable groundhogs, and diving little ducklings were an added bonus. Highly recommend ❤️
