The stay was excellent! The owners of the property made sure the arrival was perfect and accommodating. The property was very clean and well kept. A local even comented that their relatives stay at the same property when they come in town. I highly recommend. We even saw deer outside the property, in the early morning.

Really enjoyed the convenient self service check in. Room was clean and comfortable, and the price was reasonable for the season and area. The included breakfast from the nearby coffee shop was a nice touch! Will definitely stay again next time we're in the Ely area!

we stayed here last year in a different room and really liked the location and ease of checking in. Bonus ! free coffee and pastry at the nearby coffee shop! this year , we had the upper most floor and was not perfect for a tall person but still a great place to layover for before or after the BWCA.

This is a great and reasonably priced place to stay. It is dog friendly. The owners provide lots of extras for the guests such as full kitchen to make your own food. No need to bring any dishes. The rooms are cozy and it feels like you are staying in a cabin. Would definitely stay here again!

Couple of minor issues, but were quickly resolved. Such a cozy feel inside the Inn. Cute place, nice location, not the best parking situation but made it work.

Great place! Would stay again

This was a perfect launch point before our canoe trip. Easily accessible to the canoe outfitters, restaurants and the town. The beds were comfortable. Only feedback would be to update the curtains in the restroom - you can get some great accordion shades on sites like blinds.com that would nicely cover those windows.
