Ely is an interesting town. We enjoyed our biking on the Mesabi Trail and visits to the International Wolf and Bear Centers. A visit to the Dorothy Molter museum was an unexpected pleasure

We had a great stay at this home! The host was very responsive and check-in was easy. The house had plenty of space and storage for our group of 8, and the bedrooms were all comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well-stocked with just about everything we needed to prepare meals, which made our trip so much easier.The home itself felt very inviting, and I especially enjoyed spending time on the enclosed front porch. It was also a nice bonus to have a smart TV for downtime. The location was also excellent — we could walk to shops, restaurants, and museums, and the hiking areas we wanted to explore were just a short drive away. Having EV charging within walking distance was another big plus.We would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to stay here again!

Great family size house

We had a great time here lots of outdoor activities in this area. The house is perfect for a large group. Lots of space and full stocked with everything you would need. Large parking spaces outside we parked a travel trailer with no issues.

We had family in town from Chicago and Nebraska. We all wanted some time together. This was a great setting for us, having some older relatives and a baby with us, and then there were some convenient stores and restaurants close by.
