Book a Ely Cottage

"Perfect place to stay when exploring the Superior Hiking Trail "

"We had an excellent stay."

"All good"

"Beautiful place right on Garden Lake with access to the Boundary Waters! The motel had comfortable beds and a basic kitchen. My son and I borrowed a canoe for the day and had a beautiful, long paddle to BWCA. We also visited the Wolf Center, hiked, and had a great tour of the Poineer Mine. A very peaceful spot to come home to on our vacation— we hope to return! "

"Amazing staff and comfortable rooms. I love being able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Very walkable to everything downtown. "

"Pet friendly, friendly owner, morning coffee"

"Very nice cabin. Clean and well kept. Having the John boat and canoe were a nice bonus seeing we were on an island. Lol. Host was very responsive and Rob was too. While we were there it got cold, so we needed to use the gas burner cast iron heating unit. Couldn’t get it lit and they were very helpful on that. Reading the instructions became helpful. Another knee slapper. Push in the knob while igniting with the pilot button. The instructions were on the floor attached to the legs. Hard to read, so maybe put those instructions in the great information binder that was there. Unfortunately for us, the four days we were there it got cold, windy, and rainy. Just kept coming at us. Late in the season I guess. We thought to use the john-boat with trawling motor and regular motor to fish and go into Ely, but with water and rain, we hunkered down. Great overall experience. "

"All around good place to stay traveling up the North Shore."

"The room was clean and comfortable. Had all the amenities we needed. We ended up needing to bring our dogs and they were able to accommodate us with a pet friendly room. Our dogs were very happy here as well! We enjoyed the bluefin grille and the coho cafe. The outdoor hot tub was a treat to enjoy with a beautiful view of Lake Superior. We would stay here again. "
