    This was our 4th stay at this wonderful property. We immediately feel at home in the comfort of well-appointed cabin/house, easy lake access, beautiful views, loon calls, wildlife sightings, and (the bonus) Northern Lights! Eagles Nest Lake 1 is peaceful and Chellney and Mark are excellent hosts. We enjoyed all the greater Ely area has to offer...invigorating hikes, biking and walking the Mesabi Trail, boating, canoeing, fishing all with the right amount of downtime to balance our days. Our 2-yr old Black Lab loved it as much as we did.

    Another wonderful stay at Mark and Chellney's homey cabin. We so appreciate the family room downstairs and living room upstairs with bathrooms on each floor. Gives us our own personal space at the end of the day. New comfortable leather couch. Slept well in the cozy beds. Fans provided on the screened windows. Mosquitos prevalent as expected this time of year and in this area of Minnesota. Off was provided. We bring a thermacell to aid with dissuading those nasty buggers. On arrival, we were greeted by a doe. What a way to start a vacation! We saw more deer, to include 3 fawns with one doe, loons, woodpeckers, squirrels and 2 black bears ... Enjoyed watching the wild thunderstorm from the many windows. Amenities galore. Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pan, dishes, utensils and lots of spices. Multiple life jackets to include a dog lifejacket that would have fit our 30 # dog, but we had our own. We bring our electric motor and use it with the provided rowboat now with seat cushions. Canoes also available. Forgot my camping hammock. No problem, they have a provided hammock and lounge chairs. Water temperature of this very clear lake was 72 degrees. Great for swimming and playing but sucked for fishing. We were skunked this trip. But usually catch bass and northerns. Rocks are slippery on entrance to the lake. Recommend wearing water socks. Area great for floating and paddleboarding. We love staying at this woodsy cabin. Thanks again for sharing your home!

    The cabin was nice, however, we had an issue with mice in the place. They were everywhere and we had to go and buy traps. When I asked to be reimbursed the $17 for them, I did not get a response. The owners did credit us back $200 of our $1200. They had bait boxes so mice had been an issue in the past. Time for a professional exterminador.We will not stay there again. Sauna wouldn’t get hot enough even after following the warm up time.

    This is our second stay and it feels like a home away from home. Chellney and Mark are great and responsive hosts and the property is clean, comfortable, has a well-appointed kitchen and easy lake access. It is also centrally located to many attractions, hiking/biking trails, and towns. We are already planning our third visit.

    This was our 4th stay and the first under the new owners management. We really appreciated the updates like the new windows, landscaping, chairs by the fire pit and the cleaning up of the shoreline. It was a clean and comfortable stay for our week in the area. Being so close to Bear Head State Park is a plus. Enjoyed viewing the friendly deer in the yard on most days. I’m sure that we will be back for a 5th stay.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The views of the lake were awesome and location was fairly close to everything we wanted to do and very close to Bear Head Lake State Park where we did some hiking. The cabin is just as the pictures show, was very comfortable and would definitely stay there again. The cabin is well supplied and the kitchen had everything we needed, was probably the best supplied kitchen we have had.

    The cabin is wonderful and filled with everything we needed to spend a week with our family. The bedrooms and futon were comfortable. Eagles Nest Lake is a wonderful BWCA type lake, quiet, lots of wildlife. 15 from ELy or Tower. This was our second visit.
