Northern Exposure Modern Log Cabin

We had an incredible stay at Northern Exposure Log Cabins and cannot recommend it enough.
From the moment we booked, the communication was extraordinary. Every question was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning for a large group so much easier.
The cabin itself is beautiful, with thoughtful finishes everywhere you look. It is truly designed for gathering. There was plenty of space for our group to spread out, relax, cook together, and still find quiet corners. The kitchen was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed.
One of the sweetest touches was how dog friendly the property is. Not only are pups welcome, there was even a bed waiting for our pooch. That level of care meant so much.
We visited in the winter and the location could not have been better. We filled our days with adventure dog sledding, hiking at Dry Lake Loop, Kawishiwi Falls, events at the Ely Winter Festival, and a stop at Dorothy Molter Museum for root beer and lots of shopping. Nights ended perfectly with sauna time, laughter, and watching wildlife wander through. Our deer visitors were definitely a highlight.
If you are looking for a warm, welcoming, well appointed place to host a large group in the Ely area, this is it. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Perfect Women's Retreat Location

Beautiful home with plenty of space, inside and out! Our extended family of 16  just returned from a stay at this beautiful property. We had a wonderful time! Home: the home is spacious and we never felt crowded. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook all of our meals. The pack n play and high chair were a bonus! Plenty of towels, which is always nice. We spent most of our nights in the screened in porch (darn fire ban and heat), but it was perfect. The decor in the house was so much fun, even our kids commented on it. Very well done. There is no AC, but even on the 91 degree day, the house stayed cool. It’s very shade and has a wonderful breeze off of the lake. Outdoors: beautiful, spacious lot. Our kids spent nearly all day on the beach. The house was stocked with many outdoor toys; we especially loved the kayaks, SUP, and bags. A bonus was the many life jackets provided! We enjoyed boating on the lake and even went to nearby Burntside lake, which was beautiful as well. Location: You can’t beat this location in the Ely area. The house is a short car ride to town or even a short 8-10 min bike ride to town. We loved having the bike trail right across the street. Host: Marcus was more than accommodating and could not have been a better host. He responded to all inquiries in a timely manner and provided detailed information on the house that we appreciated! Check in check out was some of the easiest we’ve dealt with.

Beautiful home with plenty of space

We rented the cabin to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. During our childhood my parents took us on canoe trips into the boundary waters. These hardcore trips are core memories for us. Therefore, to celebrate 50 years we wanted to recreate the memories without all of the hardship. Staying at this beautiful cabin was perfection. We got the smells, sights and feels of the boundary waters but with luxury instead of misery. It makes me wonder why my parents ever did it any other way...oh wait, I know, it built character. Thanks Ma & Pa we love you. We also love the cabin and hope to get rent it out again!

50th Anniversary success!

We rented this home for our daughter’s wedding weekend in Ely. We have a tiny cabin and in the area and needed a larger place to accommodate our large family and this house was perfect! We had 12 people total and were a central gathering place for many out of town and local family and friends. The house was immaculate- seriously the cleanest house any of us have rented. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and bedrooms were out of the way and private. There were plenty of spaces for people to get away from the group and plenty of space for us to gather with everyone. The screen porch was perfect for morning coffee. No mosquitos because of our late September stay! We enjoyed the Sauna AND our swims afterwards. Location is great and close to town; if you want to walk to breakfast the Grand Ely Lodge is 1/4 mile away on the bike trail. Ely is a second home for us but if you are new to the area the owners have a well written book with local hot spots and trails listed, plus everything you need to know about the property. The only downfall- which isn’t even an issue- is that the neighbors seem to be intolerant of noise- our grandchildren are 3-5 and their outside noisy play elicited a noise complaint from the neighbors, nevertheless the owners contacted us and were understanding- they just asked us to try to turn it down a notch, which we did.

Perfect House for family gathering!

The house was absolutely beautiful as pictured. We loved everything about it - the spacious living room, sauna, and game room! We especially loved playing game after game of Pac-Man and utilizing the upstairs large table to work on a Christmas puzzle. We enjoyed the sunset views over the water while we sat around the bonfire. The location was great for us. We enjoyed being close to town to grab coffee in the morning and to check out the shops. We experienced some trouble with the oven the night before Thanksgiving, but Marcus was quick to respond and sent a maintenance guy over right away to help. He checked in and made sure our stay was going well. We really appreciated their care and communication. We hope to come back to enjoy all of the wonderful amenities again. I will be recommending this place to all my friends who plan to visit the area.
