Loved that it is closed to Ely, but outside, so it feels like a little remote resort. Nice bar, with locals that stop by for happy hour.

Beautiful stay. Cabins look like they are straight out of the 1970s which I thought added a nice touch to it. Appliances all worked well and was comfy. Very clean inside, and the area around it was really beautiful. We will most likely be back as we go up north to Minnesota once or more times a year.

Was ok - stayed 2 nights but no breakfast/food despite a restaurant on the property. Had to walk down cement stairs to get to room. Could not enjoy view or open windows due to heavy smokers being outside quite frequently. There are talks about this property being torn down this fall.

Outside of some newer carpet, it didn't look like the place had been updated since the 1960's. NO TV or WIIFI. Lumpy old beds (probably original mattress), Old uncomfortable chairs and sofa/sleeper bed, Worst night of sleep I've had in a long time.

Cozy cabin at the loon's nest.

From past reviews not being so good. I was so glad I went and found out for myself. As it was perfect for what I was looking for, for a mini vacation. It looked to me as if there were a lot of updates that had been done! Quiet and cozy. I just don't recommend being there at fishing opener!!
