About this property

Nestled between Hidden Valley trails and Ely's cute downtown, a perfect homebase

This spacious property is the perfect homebase for all your Ely area adventures. If you mt bike or nordic ski, or just like to walk beautiful trails through the woods, you'll love the convenient, quiet, and forested location. If you like restaurants, the arts and fun-outdoorsy shops, you're in luck too - located at the city limits, less than a half mile from the grocery store. If you need a jumping off point into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, this is your spot as well, with amenities such as a deck, a dishwasher and a full laundry room.

November-December considerations for family gatherings are the well-appointed kitchen and large dining table (new pictures just uploaded!) Hidden Valley Nordic Ski trails are also groomed early season, sometimes as soon as Nov 20th (fat biking is a shoulder-season option of course too!)

Ely great location.
Wolf center super close, Dorthy Molter Root beer museum super close. Hidden Valley Mountain biking and hiking trails super close. We Kayaked 5 lakes nearby our favorite Birch lake. We day camped at Birch Lake, a national forest campground for a few days and then came back to clean crisp sheets, showers and flush toilets. The shopping is great and on Tuesday there was an art and farmers market in downtown park. We went to Tiki Tuesday! Live Music at Mealey's Gift & Sauna Shop. What a great setting. It’s BYOB so we brought wine and cheese great setting with rocking chairs.. On the same Tuesday Brainstorm Bakery had Jillian Rae live on small intimate stage next door. Great local vibe, great hikes at Dry Creek, Basswood lake and Kawishiwi Falls Trail. Had a great time and had a VRBO bass camp that was large, comfortable, quiet and has Gas Weber grill on a deck facing the woods. Thanks Heather for great communication and sharing this property.

Nice Unit in a Great Location
Close to downtown Ely but away from the city noise and traffic. Large, clean, well-appointed unit with plenty of sleeping space and comfortable furniture and beds. Modern appliances with gathering areas both inside and out. If outside, insect repellent is a must at this point, but to be expected with the close proximity of the woods. It was nice to sit outside in the early morning...quiet and no mosquitoes!

Nice, spacious place
This "cabin" was really spacious - a large living area, nice big kitchen and two bedrooms that would accommodate at least 6 people. The kitchen had everything we needed, except a toaster. And if you intend to stay for a while, there is a large utility room with large washer and dryer. The location is nice - it's just a few minutes drive to get into Ely. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property to others.

Home away from home
Spent a week at the property on a fishing trip. Was a fantastic place to come home to after a long day on the water. Within minutes of Ely and several lakes that we fished. Owners accommodated my 21’ boat and were great with any questions we had. Plenty of room for 2 dads and our 2 sons. Just a great week of fishing and a fantastic place to relax. Definitely recommend!

Quaint in the woods
Nice place in the woods. It’s a 4 unit Cabin, not a standalone. So we were in the lower unit which lacks windows since we are basically in a walkout basement. Upgraded appliances and everything was clean. One nice open room with windows was nice to relax in. Smelled a little like a musty basement but opening the windows took care of that. Could use a dehumidifier I think. Could hear the people walking around upstate’s till one in the morning one night. Overall, nice stay. Clean. Easy in and out. Newer appliances. Great for the price.

What a lovely quiet place. The hosts were so helpful, recommending hiking trails and places to go. Not too far into town if you forget something. Plenty of room for the whole family in your own piece of paradise. Deer at back door, just so tranquil. Thank you.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We're active outdoors in every season - hiking, biking, canoe/kayaking, and skiing!

Why they chose this property

Trails, trails, trails at the contiguous Hidden Valley recreation area - non motorized, of course! These trails are well maintained year-round by Ely Nordic Ski & Bike Club (memberships appreciated!) The property has a "Minnesota Mountain" feel, surrounded by woods and located on a short gravel road (one could coast on their bike all the way into town, about a half mile or so.)

What makes this property unique

Comfortable home-base for all outdoor activities described above - including a full kitchen, comfortable beds, hot shower/bath, and laundry area. The great room is the perfect place to gather in the evening after a full day on the trails or exploring Ely's nearby (and walkable) downtown.
