Many families have enjoyed our Burntside Lake Cabin complex over the decades, with some coming back each year with their children and grandchildren.

This outstanding cabin complex has log cabin, sauna/bath house, screen house, boat house, boat dock and sand beach, private paved road to the cabins.
The cabin complex is very private, it sits on over 3 acres of land and has over 300 feet of lake shore for you to enjoy on your vacation.

Burntside Lake is considered the most beautiful lake in Minnesota. This vary large lake has crystal clear water, many cabin owners drink the water right out of the lake. The lake has many miles of undeveloped lake shore and over 200 islands fill the large lake. The lakes northwest shore is adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, with direct access into the BWCAW available.

We are located 7 miles form the village of Ely Minnesota. Ely is one of the Midwest's vacation hubs, centered in the heart of the Superior National Forest and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).

The Ely area is able to provide almost everything you need in the way of services and products, shopping, entertainment and attractions such as many nearby outstanding (nationally rated) golf courses, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, the large Native American Casino, shopping in Ely's many unique gift shops and the area's many restaurants along with all the various outdoor activities.

Build over 80 years ago, the cabin constructed on the lakes edge, provide wide views of this spectacular lake. The log cabin has two bedrooms, a double bed in one and two twin beds in the other, with a rollaway bed available. Occupancy is 5 persons. Extra people sleep in the screen house. All linens and towels are provided. The log cabin has a half bath; the shower is located in the sauna/bath house. The sauna has a dressing/setting room and large wood heated sauna bathing room, wood for the sauna is provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, large refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, plus cookware, dishes and utensils. There is Dish TV. Outside is a gas BBQ and picnic table on the patio. There is no phone or internet service at the cabin. Cell phone signal is picked up for Verizion phones in front of the garage, top of the hill located at the drive way entrance into the property.

Watch the loons on the lake and listen to them talk to each other. There is a wide variety of wild life on the land and traveling though it, duck, eagles flying over the cabin, I have seen Moose walk around the cabins, deer are present as they like eating the ceder trees, rabbits, red fox, squirrels, chipmunks, many variety of birds.
Did I mention there are a lot of fish in Burntside Lake to be caught by fisherman and fisherwoman.

    We had the best time swimming and taking saunas and playing games and reading. We look forward to it every year.

    Idyllic setting for vacation with grandma, adult children, and grandchildren. Best sauna we’ve ever used; large dock that is perfect for jumping off after sauna. Comfy cabin. Private setting. We had the best time for the fourth year in a row. Host is helpful and generous.

    Bob's place in magical. Very simple and clean. Beautifully maintained property close to town but feels far away. Very private. The sauna is BUTTER - and hopping in the cool lake is heaven on earth. Will stay here again and again!!

    This was our second time staying here. The cabin, sauna, and location on the lake are great to get away and relax for a week. I highly recommend this place.

    We had a wonderful time - swimming, taking daily saunas, playing games, making art, reading, relaxing and having fun together. Best dock for running and jumping into the lake. Grandkids (ages 7,4) enjoyed the freedom of running around outside by themselves, finding frogs and bugs, etc. Absolutely beautiful setting. Owner is very kind and helpful

    This was our second year here. such a beautiful spot, and private, even though it is a fairly busy shoreline. Enough room around it to feel it is not your typical cabin rental - you can't see another cabin or person from your perch in the house. It's rustic and minimal and that's just the way we like it. The sauna was a big draw for us since it was on the chillier side this year. The dock is perfect, you can cannonball right off of it into the clean waters of Burntside. Cabin was tidy, linens nice, and it had everything we needed to cook. We will be back, this is a gem.

    Overall a great rustic property that I’d stay at again. The lake is the best in the state. Nice dock for fishing, boating and swimming. There wasn’t a toaster which would’ve been nice to know. Also no bon fire pit which was a bit disappointing. Would definitely recommend.

    This minimalist cabin was like going back to childhood at my Grandparents’ old cabin. It’s perfect, beds and linens great (that’s an issue w. some cabins but not this one.) Plenty of towels in the sauna/shower house, and room to roam a little. Gd beach/dock area and boat fun to venture out in. We actually spent 2 separate weeks here, we loved it so much. Bob is a great host! Wld def stay again!
