Room to improve

The cabin was nice, however, we had an issue with mice in the place. They were everywhere and we had to go and buy traps. When I asked to be reimbursed the $17 for them, I did not get a response. The owners did credit us back $200 of our $1200. They had bait boxes so mice had been an issue in the past. Time for a professional exterminador.We will not stay there again. Sauna wouldn’t get hot enough even after following the warm up time.

Sep '24 Retreat

This is our second stay and it feels like a home away from home. Chellney and Mark are great and responsive hosts and the property is clean, comfortable, has a well-appointed kitchen and easy lake access. It is also centrally located to many attractions, hiking/biking trails, and towns. We are already planning our third visit.

Lovely stay

This was our 4th stay and the first under the new owners management. We really appreciated the updates like the new windows, landscaping, chairs by the fire pit and the cleaning up of the shoreline. It was a clean and comfortable stay for our week in the area. Being so close to Bear Head State Park is a plus. Enjoyed viewing the friendly deer in the yard on most days. I’m sure that we will be back for a 5th stay.

Ely Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The views of the lake were awesome and location was fairly close to everything we wanted to do and very close to Bear Head Lake State Park where we did some hiking. The cabin is just as the pictures show, was very comfortable and would definitely stay there again. The cabin is well supplied and the kitchen had everything we needed, was probably the best supplied kitchen we have had.

Family vacation

The cabin is wonderful and filled with everything we needed to spend a week with our family. The bedrooms and futon were comfortable. Eagles Nest Lake is a wonderful "BWCA" type lake, quiet, lots of wildlife. 15" from ELy or Tower. This was our second visit.

Wonderful updated lakeside cabin

Modernized and well cared for cabin directly on Eagles Nest lake. Near Soudan mine, Ely and its attractions, and Mesabi Trailhead. Bearhead Lake state park 10 min away. With bedroom and bath upstairs and bedroom and bath downstairs very private for 2 couples or parents and children. Wifi and Dish TV if rainy. Only wish there was a washer and dryer.

Eagles Nest Property

We stayed in the late spring, so were unable to fully use the water access and boats, but loved our stay anyway. It’s a close(ish) drive to either Ely or Tower but more important to us was the super close access to Bear Head Lake State Park (right down the road) and the Mesabi Trail (which doubles as the NCT at this location). While hiking and exploring near the property we saw lots of wildlife and we were able to see a great northern lights show one night. It’s a good property for the price and we enjoyed staying.

Northwoods Retreat

This property was as advertised and owners responded swiftly to communications throughout the booking/stay process. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen as we prepared all our meals there. The living space was comfy/cozy during our down time where we appreciated access to satellite TV and strong WiFi. We also enjoyed the quietness of the property, beauty of the lake, use of canoes/kayaks, ever present Loon calls, daily deer sightings, and close proximity to all Ely has to offer.

Amazing!

This place has everything you need. Beautiful view of the lake, great firepit, plenty of water equipment such as canoes, kayaks, life jackets, paddles, etc. Wildlife every morning in the yard. But no bears which I was hoping for. 😬 Cabin was cleaned and very comfortable. The only thing lacking was nicer weather, but thats Ely. Will be back next year!

Enjoying the wildlife

Spent a pleasant, relaxing week at the cozy cabin. Mama deer and her 2 fawns visited daily. Other wildlife included woodpeckers, fox, humingbirds, squirrels... We caught northern, perch, bass and saw a bear while fishing. Enjoyed the provided water toys, boat and canoes. Cabin nicely furnished, appreciated separate living spaces: living room upstairs and rec room downstairs. Books, puzzles, coloring and games aplenty. Kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies. Thanks for sharing your cozy cabin!

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this peaceful little cabin. With full bathrooms on both levels, it was just enough room for us, our dog, and our daughter and her husband. Families with children will also like having a downstairs family room where the kids can gather. The cabin was quite clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might need. There was even a rolling pin! The lake is right at your back door, and canoes/kayaks are provided. It’s an easy drive into Ely. I highly recommend this place if you want a Northwoods experience!

Beautiful house

Had a wonderful time. The house is very clean. Appliances are new or fairly new. No complaints about the house. We wish the dock had some sort of stairs to get into the canoes more easily. You really cannot stand in the water due to the big rocks and other objects. But we did manage to make it into and out of the canoe (with lots of giggles) several times. I would highly recommend this place and I would definitely return.

It was super clean, beautiful, and the heat worked, so it covered all the bases for us! This was a belated birthday present and it totally delivered.

Lovely cabin on a lake near Ely

We had a lovely week. The cabin was clean, with a pretty updated interior and had a lovely "in the middle of the woods feel", despite a short 10-15 minute drive to Ely. The homeowners made sure we knew what to bring and quickly responded to any questions we sent. We saw several deer grazing on the property, as well as grouse. There are several things to do in the area. We highly recommend it.
