Stayed Jan 29, 2026In late January my wife and I took a getaway weekend to go snowmobiling in the Ely, MN area, and we chose to stay at this property because of it’s convenient access to Shagawa Lake, downtown Ely, and the many miles of groomed snowmobile trails in the area.This cabin is wonderfully secluded on a ridge with beautiful views across the lake towards Ely, and it’s wonderfully warm and cozy which is very important in January in Minnesota. We especially loved the in-floor heating, which always made the floors feel warm under our feet, plus there’s nothing better than soaking in a jetted hot tub after spending all day on the snowmobile trails in 20 below January Minnesota weather.This cabin seemed to be recent construction, and was tastefully tastefully appointed and decorated throughout. It came with all the ammenities, modern appliances, and was fully stocked with everything we needed for a wonderful, memory filled mini-vacation. We hope to return and stay again soon!

Stayed Jan 15, 2026This cabin was beautiful. We stayed here in the winter on our honeymoon and it was perfect. At one point there was a little mix up but the owners responded in a timely manner and helped us figure everything out! This cabin was the perfect distance from town (about 12 minutes) but was also secluded, surrounded by trees and had giant windows out the front that gave a beautiful view, along with a glimpse of the lake. We had a wonderful, relaxing experience and really enjoyed ourselves

Stayed Nov 1, 2025Everything was as it said it would be. The king size bed was superb and very important to us as we both have bad backs. I could live here. Massive kitchen island. The beauty is all around you and seen from sunrise to sunset through all the glass. No need for artwork when you can view it live inside or out. This was a great escape from all the noise life dishes up. Very peaceful and restful, just what we needed!

Stayed Oct 20, 2025Great location for fall colors and wildlife. Close to town for any necessities and restaurants. Cabin was clean and had plenty of kitchen space and living area. We didn't use the kitchen much but it has items needed to prepare a meal. We were very impressed!!

Stayed Jul 26, 2025Our family had a wonderful stay while in Ely. The Shack is special. The windows allow you to feel like you are in a treehouse! It’s a beautiful home. The primary bed is outstanding. We typically stay in nice hotels and this bed was equal to or better than most hotels that we stay in. Our purpose for this trip was to reset and relax. We all slept better than we have all summer. We enjoyed Shagawa Lake with a rented pontoon from Lake View Lodge. We biked the Mesabi Trail. We stopped at both the wolf and bear centers and enjoyed some shopping in downtown Ely. We saw so many loons - it was spectacular! We had a splendid stay at the Shack! Thank you!

Stayed May 12, 2025I had a magnificent time staying in this home, even under threat of wildfires I felt safe secure and relaxed atop the hillside overlooking the lake. I will definitely be returning with my partner one day.

Stayed May 9, 2025Excellent choice if you want a secluded spot near Ely on the lake. Cabin exceeded expectations, a comfortable north woods retreat with modern luxuries. Dock was in really good shape. We opted to rent a pontoon from the Lake View Lodge down the road, also a great spot.

Stayed Feb 11, 2025We did a little baby-moon, grateful for 4WD as the driveway is a climb and our Civic definitely wouldn’t have made the trek. The owner guide was very helpful as it covered all the basis, so no questions were left unanswered. The place is cute as a button and the views are beautiful, the seclusion and atmosphere were perfect for what we were looking for. Something to keep in mind, the house is warmer during the day as you have all the big windows in the back of the house. We saw an eagle fly by and a deer walk by, it was very cool! Wonderful cabin for a getaway!

Stayed Oct 25, 2024The shack was extremely cozy and romantic. We brought our ATV and rode the trails around Ely, Tower, and Babbitt. After a long day in the fall cold, the fireplace and jacuzzi was exactly what the body needed. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. My only thing I would’ve liked to change is that they cut down the White Pine trees that are blocking the view from the Lake. The shack is a 10/10 recommendation.

Stayed Sep 28, 2024Gorgeous, relaxing, serene property and location. Perfect couples trip. Jacuzzi for after long hikes, so necessary? It feels like home, but also a cabin where I temporarily have no real life responsibility (perplexing, I know?). I hate leaving!

Stayed Sep 5, 2024A comfortable and private place to stay. We enjoyed our stay very much, saw a few deer in the mornings as well as a pine Martin. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking and dining in possible. Great location. Can only see the lake from bed or a rocking chair in the loft. Nice fire pit! Comfortable bed. Good times!

Stayed Aug 12, 2024We had a nice stay at the Shack. VERY well equipped kitchen and the gas grill made meal prep easy. Bedding was excellent quality, though the mattress was a bit soft for our tastes. We didn't use the dock at all...the parking spot and steepness of the access looked a little dicey.
