Description

Location, location, location! Our family cabin is 17 miles from Ely but right at the start of the North Arm Trail system. A private path leads you directly to the skiing and hiking trails that meander through the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Please note motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails. The cabin itself is light filled and warm with four different sleeping spaces, two bedrooms, a loft and a downstairs family room. The space Built in 1995, our cabin offers contemporary conveniences, sizable space, and lots of privacy. The cabin is set on a hill across the road from our other cabin on Lake Burntside. The setting is very quiet and very private. This beautiful, light-filled contemporary cabin boasts large windows, an open floor plan, and modern amenities: two full bathrooms (with showers), a dishwasher, gas stove, laundry, a wood burning stove, and a small TV with DVDs. Despite the isolation of the setting, the cabin also offers premium satellite WiFi. On warmer days, sit on the deck or take a nap on the screened porch. Come evening, light the wood burning stove for a delightful retreat from the cold nights of fall and winter. Furnishings are a mixture of Scandinavian styled, mid-century, and contemporary pieces. There are four sleeping spaces. The primary bedroom has a queen bed, the secondary bedroom has one twin bed, and the loft has two twin beds and one full-size bed. There is also a full sized sofa bed in the downstairs family room. A screened-in porch and a spacious deck invite further relaxation. Because of the ladder, we do not recommend that crawling babies, toddlers or small children stay in this cabin. The kitchen is fully equipped for anything you want to cook or bake. We have satellite WiFi as well as games and books. Downstairs is a family room stocked with DVDs for a vintage TV and video player. Finally, please note this is a family cabin on the edge of a wilderness area. You may still see downed logs from the great storm of 2022. Know that we intentionally leave the landscaping very natural to benefit the wildlife whose home it is. Guest access The house plus 10 acres of forest. It is very private. Other things to note You are welcome to bring snowmobiles but please be aware that the bank to the lake at our other property is quite steep and neighbors do not wish for vehicles to cross their property. There is a lake access about 2 miles down the road. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the North Arm Trail System. If you are fishing, please do not dispose of entrails in the lake or near buildings. Thank you! The nearest groceries are in the town of Ely, about a half hour drive. Please note we have a fairly steep gravel driveway but it is graded regularly.
