Ely Log Cabin - Off Grid+Solar+WiFi - 40 acres to roam

Ely, Minnesota, United States

Reset and restore at this cozy log cabin, set on 40 acres of idyllic northern Minnesota landscape. Though connected through Starlink Internet, you are otherwise transported back in time, when things were simpler, and less chaotic. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, an off grid experience, or simply solitude - The Ely Log Cabin is sure to deliver an exceptional, and memorable experience. You won't want to leave this unique getaway that's just a 15 minute drive to the heart of Ely!brbrPlease understand this is an off-grid property, and runs off of solar and propane powered generator - therefore mindful use of things that require electricity - lights, hot water showers, and water in general all require a lot of power to operate. We ask that no hair dryers or crock pots be used as they are massive drains on the energy supply. brbrThe cabin has two queen beds in the loft, and one pull out queen sleeper sofa on the main level. The stairs to the loft are very steep, and not recommended for young children, or guests with mobility/strength limitations. There are not any blinds/room darkening shades in the loft, so if you are light sensitive in the morning, please ensure you pack an eye mask.brbrThe cabin has a cooktop with two propane burners - there is not an oven. So, pack food that you can cook on a stove top or grill! There is just a small mini fridge at the property, as well as a decent sized cooler - so you may want to pack a few bags of ice for the cooler/additional cooler(s) if you plan to bring a lot of food and/or are staying for a long duration. The mini fridge does have a tiny freezer area that can fit up to 3 pints of ice cream.brbrDuring times of limited sunshine the generator will need to power the cabin, though it is outside, you can definitely hear it inside of the cabin. Should you stay at the cabin during a snowstorm, it is advised that you go out to the solar panels and use the snow rakes to remove snow, so the panels can draw sunlight.brbrbrLastly, we encourage guests to come with realistic expectations and be ready to enjoy the wilderness - it's a cabin in the woods!
