It was pretty good. We're use to someone being onsite for immediate assistance so this experience with a "self serve/self help" situation was different for us. However, when I called the owner Adam for assistance he was VERY helpful. We would stay there again. It was very neat and clean.

The end was exactly what we needed. We stayed in the indigo room and were able to bring our dog with us. It’s so close to everything and getting a breakfast. Breakfast pastry and coffee at Northern grounds was the icing on the cake. The indigo room is on the third floor so there are a lot of stairs involved. People should realize that. the Inn has been remodeled with naughty Pine everywhere and modern fixtures. It was super clean and beds are quite comfortable.

Property very cozy & north woodsy. Hard to find it since there was no sign in front. It was very hot in the room (winter) & it didn’t seem to make a difference by turning the HVAC system to off. Made it very difficult to sleep. Bird poop covered the mat & floor at the front entrance — very gross.

Would not recommend. You could tell it wasn't dusted recently but otherwise it was ok, small rooms. The service was terrible, however. I left a pillow in the room and immediately called and spoke with the owner about this. She informed me that she would promptly call the supervisor on duty and that she would have this individual contact me to arrange when I could grab my pillow, before I left the Ely area. This never happened and I tried calling back before I left Ely and spoke to another supervisor whom assured me that this pillow would be mailed to me. This was mailed to me, however, this agency billed my credit card without my approval, voiced that I would be refunded, and then was ignored and not replied to again. You can find better places to stay regardless but the customer service was extremely poor, and remains poor, as I made every effort to obtain my belongings before leaving town and was never told I would be charged $30 for shipping.... not cool

Cozy place

Great place. Clean and cozy. The room was chilly even with the heat up, discovered the next day the window on the door was open. Very quiet stay. No one was around, wasn’t sure if we could put things in the fridge. No local tv, Netflix was provided which was a nice touch but we wanted weather. We would definitely stay again! Appreciate they don’t charge extra for a dog.
