Crystal Paddle Adventure | Somero

Burntside Lake, Ely, Minnesota

Set on the legendary clear waters of Burntside Lake, this retreat is built for small groups craving fresh air and unhurried days. Burntside is famous for its rocky islands, deep blue water, and pine-lined shores, the kind of place that makes you put your phone down. Spend your days paddling, swimming, and fishing, then gather back at the cabin for slow evenings and some of the darkest, starriest skies you'll ever see. With just five spots, it stays cozy, personal, and entirely yours.
