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!)

Family trip

Our family went to Ely to ride the ATV trails. The property is very close to the trails and easy to get into town. The property was clean and a great place to come back to at night after a long day of trails. The neighbor was horrible so be aware.

Outstanding experience!

We *loved* our stay. I knew the location would be great (basically next door to the International Wolf Center in Ely), but I didn't know in advance how spacious, quiet, and green the place would be. We enjoyed playing a number of the board games in the evenings. My spouse and I were both especially taken by the adorable groundhog who lives outside under the deck, and who popped up at times to bathe in the summer sun.

Great place to stay! Initially communication w/ property owner was a challenge, but after we arrived and needed to reach out the communication was prompt. I'd definitely stay again, but one thing to be aware of--this is actually part of partially underground 3 or 4 unit building--so while this has a lot of windows, it's also basement level and the forest is within arms length of the window, so you never see the sun. I'd also suggest leaving a folder or sign somewhere w/ checkout instructions---we had to send messages asking for both check in and checkout instructions. But great spot for exploring Ely, the state parks, mesabi trail, many hiking trails and the BWCA.

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.
