About this property

Bright And Warm Cabin Overlooking Shagawa Lake

At the top of a rolling hill surrounded by 20 acres, sits a beautiful year-round one bedroom cabin. Built by one of Ely’s top craftsman, every need is met with rustic setting and a modern twist to a very comfortable cabin. The wall of windows brings in sunshine. Thunder rolls overhead during storms and snow falls softly outside in the winter. You are inside but it feels like you are one with the weather. Truly a romantic place to stay.

The kitchen is a breeze to use with a Bosch dishwasher and a 5 burner gas range. Plenty of dishes, cookware, and an extra large refrigerator are provided.

The one bathroom is downstairs complete with large shower, plenty of towels and toiletries for your use. A table for 4 is great for eating, or for playing games. A sliding door opens up to a small patio outside with views of the lake.

The bedroom loft is large with a king size bed and a hot tub, were you can sit and relax while you take in the beautiful lake views. There is a balcony off of the bedroom loft where the family can enjoy their morning coffee in quiet solitude.

A sofa bed in the downstairs living room gives more sleeping options. A cozy area for reading, watching TV, or sleeping.

Enjoy nature with plenty of trails that will keep the hikers busy. A fire pit is great fun for evening entertainment. Plenty of parking spaces and a turn around makes for easy driving down to the main road.

Bring your boat! Down the long hill and to the left on the main street is the dock area. A dock and a parking space is yours. Abundant fishing is available in this lake. A few miles down is The Lady Bug Resort where you can rent pontoon boats and they have a boat launch.

Located a few miles before Ely on 169 you are close to one of the most fun towns in Minnesota. Ely is located on the boundary waters and bustles all summer with canoe enthusiast who flock to the canoeing Mecca. All you need from a town is available in Ely. Restaurants, grocery stores, shops and outfitters.

This place is great for families, couples, fishermen, and explores. Come and rest, relax, and build family memories.

During winter months you will need an AWD vehicle to go up to the cabin.

You won’t be disappointed

We 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!

Second trip, will be back

Gorgeous, 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!

Enjoyed our stay!

A 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!

Restful stay

We 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.

The perfect getaway for my Wife and I.

The 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.

Another great stay

The Shack has become a place that i look forward to visiting every year. There wasn't any snow this year, but walking the trails in the Boundry Waters and Superior are a great getaway and visiting with the local people in the stores and restaurants make this a great trip. I cant say enough good things about this property and its location
