Charming vintage lakefront cabin w/ Wifi in BWCA

New listing!

Get ready to relax in this 1-bedroom, vintage cabin at the edge of the BWCAW - 6 mins south of downtown Ely. This adorable retreat features a cozy living room heated by a wood burning stove. A full kitchen awaits you with a standard gas cooking stove, cast iron pans, and everything you need to cook a feast. Admire gorgeous views of the lake through the expansive windows while reading, enjoying your morning coffee, or cuddling up by the stove after a long day of adventure. This is the perfect place to unwind with family after a day of exploring town, paddling, fishing, hunting, or playing right out in front of the cabin on the lake and private swimming area. With an acre of property, it's both quiet and private.

The separate bedroom boasts a comfortable queen bed (Simmons Beautyrest), luxury cotton linens, and down bedding, ensuring a good night's sleep for guests. Listen to loons while you fall asleep.

With Starlink WiFi available and Verizon cell phone reception, you can stay connected during your stay.

We look forward to hosting you at our place!

Please note: this is a 'dry' cabin, common to the Northwoods - meaning it has electricity but does NOT have running water. However, there is a weekly serviced outhouse outside, and plenty of drinking & dish-washing water provided, with a full sink, stove, microwave & refrigerator. It's like glamping, but better!

This unique 450sf cabin boasts original vintage 1950's details, meticulously maintained, so please care for this special place as you would your own. :)
