About this property
3 bedroom w/ loft/2 bath lake home, fireplace, across from BWCA,7 miles from Ely
The Otter Den lake home was finished in May 2019. It is just 100′ from the water’s edge of Farm Lake (part of the White Iron Chain of Lakes - approx 7000 acres of water and across from Entry Point 31, N Kawishiwi River). This year around 3 bedroom w/ loft/2 bathroom lake home is air conditioned, has a dishwasher and a freestanding gas fireplace. The lakeside has french doors and large windows for a perfect view of the lake and dock to watch the sunrise in the early morning. Or perhaps grab an Adirondack chair and a book and head out to the end of the dock for some quiet time. Aluminum canoes, sit-on-top kayaks and a paddle boat available at 'no charge'. We also rent kevlar canoes and motorboats. We are a small family owned resort just 7 miles southeast of Ely, MN.

About the host
Hosted by JOAN HOWARD
Greetings from Moose Track Adventures Lodge, Outfitter, and Guide Service in Ely Minnesota. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves: Jim lived in Ely and operated Four Seasons Adventures, which specialized in custom guided wilderness canoe and fishing trips along with winter dog sledding, and skijoring adventures.
Joan worked in the outdoor gear & clothing industry for eight years where she became knowledgeable of the vast array of outdoor products on the market. We met September 2000 on one of Jim’s guided wilderness canoe trips, which ironically departed from the Farm Lake Access (just down the road from the resort) and a year later we were married and decided to continue our adventure in Ely. We purchased the resort formally known as Ojibway Resort and changed the name to Moose Track Adventures Lodge, Outfitter & Guide Service in September 2002.
We truly enjoy what we do and we place a great deal of pride and satisfaction in the personalized services we provide our customers.
