Book a Ely Cottage

"Excellent location."

"Great location and plenty of room for the family. Good value. "

"Fun stay " up north" in an historic one room log cabin. The cabin is small - I can't imagine 4 people there. Queen bed and two twins (that double as couches) were comfortable with lots of pillows. 2 recliners and a table with 4 chairs. Kitchen and bath are well stocked. The cabin is full of cool antiques and an eclectic lot of paintings and prints - definitely maximulist in decor. Jeff was a good host. I would have liked written check-in and check-out instructions but it all worked out. The cabin is easy to find, but I would suggest arriving in the daylight. We tried to park at the boathouse! Like many MN lake cabins, you have close neighbors. It is not remote. You park right outside the cabin. We did not use the offered boat, canoe and outside firepit but they looked in good condition. I would definitely recommend this place."

"Very nice, clean and quiet property! The room was exceptionally clean, beds were comfy with lots of pillows and there was a refrigerator in room (added bonus). This is a modest property but that’s what I wanted; I was looking for a clean, updated (not rustic) place to sleep that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I respect an establishment that offers affordable rates. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again! "

"Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and rooms were clean. Will absolutely be staying again."

"The Cottage was super clean and comfortable. Hosts very friendly and accessible. Beautiful nature art. Comfy beds! I loved the utter silence and being able to listen to an amazing array of birds! Thank you!"

"This was our second summer trip to Wildnerness Wind because we were drawn back to our host Jay and his property for the awesome fishing, kayaking and ease of stay. The cabins on Lake Armstrong have all the amenities you would need on short notice. Definitely need bugspray, but as expected for an "up north summer vacation spot." We had a lovely time with family and the YURT was a great space to hangout and relax. Our younger aged kids (5-13) loved just hanging out in there playing games to break up the time from fishing and sun. Would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an easy getaway. Family friendly and (small dog) friendly too. Will be back!"

"Stayed at this property with two young children. It had games and books ready to go. Everything was very clean, lots of space. Hosts were very responsive. Would stay again!"

"Really enjoyed the convenient self service check in. Room was clean and comfortable, and the price was reasonable for the season and area. The included breakfast from the nearby coffee shop was a nice touch! Will definitely stay again next time we're in the Ely area!"
