Set on a sandy shoreline, this uniquely flat lakefront property offers easy access and year-round enjoyment. The elegant yet comfortable 1,500 sq. ft. home features two bedrooms, an open-concept kitchen and living room, a dining table for six, a modern shower, laundry, and plenty of space to relax.

The larger east bedroom includes a queen bed, while the smaller west bedroom has two twin beds. The living room offers a large sectional couch, perfect for gathering after a day on the lake or trails. The bathroom and laundry room are conveniently located just off the kitchen, and an additional refrigerator/freezer provides extra space for food, drinks, and coolers.

We provide all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including basic kitchen supplies, linens, extra blankets and pillows, towels, and basic toiletries.

You will fall in love with the landscaping, docks, beach, outdoor patio, and fire pit. There is a six-person patio table, grill, and several Adirondack chairs outside for your enjoyment. The lake is clear and shallow, even quite a distance from shore. We also provide a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard to make your outdoor experience something truly special. We will leave you a list of our favorite local spots to visit on the lake, as well as a map to the snowmobile trail.

The property faces north and overlooks the lake. When conditions are right, it is not uncommon to see northern lights. This was a year-round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

    The lake setting is wonderful. The kitchen is a bit dated and could use some updating. The biggest issue was the interior still had air fresheners in it when we arrived and towels and bedding had been washed with fragrance fabric softeners. So, my wife could not sleep in the bed due to reacting to the smells. She is very sensitive to artificial fragrances.

    Beautiful quiet location. Warm and cozy cabin with plenty of room in the kitchen and dining for cooking and more. Cozy living room great for movies and relaxing. We had wonderful communication from the host with quick responses. We will definitely stay again.

    From the minute we arrived we were so pleasantly surprised. The cabin is situated on a sandy lakeshore & the interior of home is waaay nicer in person. The pics do not do it justice. It’s fully furnished to make the stay so comfortable. We had the best time & hope to return

    We were very happy with our week-long stay at the Somero cabin on Burntside. The cabin was very clean upon arrival and check in was easy. The location is great, the town of Ely is only a short drive away, and its spot on the lake is very peaceful. The small beach and zero-entry water access is great for kids, and the private dock is a bonus. To note, the area around the dock is very shallow and larger boats may have a harder time docking. The grill is also great for outdoor cooking. The inside of the cabin was very nice and comfortable with plenty of space and items needed to prepare food and hang out. We had a great week and would definitely recommend a stay at this clean and peaceful cabin!

    We are seniors and could not figure out the Smart TV. The bathroom needs more towel racks. Other than that, we really enjoyed the cabin. It was clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake.

    We have a family cabin on Burntside but it was full. We decided to check out another spot. It was beautiful.
