Thankful to have spent one week at this cabin!
"I came with my best friend to celebrate her 60th b-day. The cabin was spectacular & had everything we needed,(the loft was huge w/ BA, hosts were top notch-communicating quickly & guiding us to attractions/restaurants that we desired. Each AM we enjoyed coffee on the patio soaking in ONLY the sounds of nature & going over our plans (or no plans) for the day. What a luxury! We loved the sites, shops, & restaurant's of Ely (Grand Ely Lodge for b-day dinner, Boat House Restaurant for tasty burgers & Northern Grounds/Log Cabin Coffee Drive Through). Pebbles Spa was heaven! WARNING-most places DON'T update their websites. Not fun driving around to be met with "Closed for the Season" signs. Nevertheless, we still spent too much money on fun souvenirs, ate too much food, read like crazy, napped & got too much sun (the weather was on our side). To us, we lived "cabin life" to the fullest where we enjoyed hanging out the most. We did some hiking at the Kawishiwi Falls, super cool! The TV? No need. We spent evenings with the sliding glass doors open, enjoying the nightly breeze off the lake, loons calling, reading, chatting & playing board games. Our best friend, red squirrel, enjoys unsalted peanuts if you're lucky enough to meet him & his cranky friend. Blessed to have that quality time with my dear friend. It was a 4 hour drive but so worth it. Read the Cabin Journal-guests thoughts & tips were helpful. Reserve this top notch cabin today! Thanks again Jennifer & Jason!"
