The space Perched high on a rocky bluff overlooking the diamond-glittering waters of Burntside Lake, this main cabin and guest house offer a classic Northern Minnesota retreat with modern comfort. Designed for both families and couples, the property combines privacy, expansive views, and thoughtful craftsmanship in a truly special setting. The property is comprised of two distinct living spaces, making it ideal for larger groups or multi-generational families who appreciate both shared gathering areas and room to spread out. The main cabin offers two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room, and a ¾ bath, along with sweeping lake views, Northern white cedar tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, and tall windows and sliding glass doors that bring the outdoors in. White oak engineered flooring with in-floor heat keeps the space comfortable on cool nights and cozy through the winter months. Covered and open decks wrap the home, offering multiple places to relax, dine, or take in the scenery. Situated above the garage, the guest house provides a private two-bedroom suite with a small kitchen, living area, and a ¾ bath. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame long views of Burntside Lake, while covered and open decks—with built-in seating—extend the living space outdoors. In total, the property offers over 1,100 square feet of deck space. Set on approximately 370 feet of shoreline, the property includes a Floe dock tucked into a protected area of the lake—perfect for swimming, fishing, or launching a paddle into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. A public boat landing is located just a few houses away, making access easy for guests bringing their own watercraft. Wildlife, peaceful woods, and unforgettable sunsets surround the cabin in every season. From the property, enjoy fishing off the private dock, swimming in the clear waters followed by time in the wood-burning barrel sauna, paddling, reading by the wood-burning stove, or relaxing on the deck while listening to waves lap the shore. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a playground for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Outdoor adventures abound nearby, including the Bass Lake Trail just 3.5 miles away. The town of Ely—only 10 miles from the cabin—offers excellent dining, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, dog sledding, special events, and more.
