We were in Ely for WInterfest, and stayed at this quiet little place. We never met the proprietor; the instructions on how to get in were taped to the outside door. We figured out where to plug in our car and connected to the wifi without trouble. We pulled the lounge furniture close to the fire, enjoyed some tea, and... More

My family has stayed at the "A Stay Inn Ely" quite a few times in the past few years. It is so great to have more then a room. The common area kitchen and living room is great. Especially with young kids you want to put to bed, and the adults can stay up later in the other room. We... More

We had several nights at this inn, our room was great and we enjoyed talking to the other guests. The open tea with full kitchen, couches , dining table and fireplace was most welcoming and a great place to relax in the evening. We chose our breakfast at the bakery after steps away and did lots of research on the... More

Right on the main drag in Ely ( yes you do here some traffic) I walked thru the whole town and lots of great shops. The place is clean, fairly quiet and inexpensive. It has a nice bonus of a great room with a fireplace and kitchen. The complimentary pastries and coffee is a nice touch. The heating was a... More

We stayed in the attic rooms above the Basketree bakery and it was great. We really enjoyed going down to the bakery in the morning for breakfast and also were very pleased we had the opportunity to go out in the free canoe that owners set up for us. Really lovely people and a great hotel. Location was also perfect... More

We are here for four days to pick our son up from Outward Bound. A Stay In is the perfect location and such a quaint place. It is located on the main drag and walking distance to eat, shop and hike. This is the slow season, so we are the only guests for three of the four nights. It is... More

I went to Ely, MN, for a business meeting and decided to stay a day longer to take in the town. Although this is a remote, and a long drive to get to, it does have a few hidden treasures besides being the gateway to the boundary waters. So when making the reservation, negotiate a bit during their off season.... More

The convenient "main street" location in Ely, provided a nice home base for a two-night winter stay. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner, and walk a little further to pick up a couple things we needed at the grocery store down the street. The BaskeTree bakery also run by the Inn owners was just a couple doors... More

Great place to stay when visiting Ely. We enjoyed both the quiet in the common areas by the fireplace and also visiting with other guests in the common area. Close to everything downtown.

We stayed in the "Ivory Room" the nights before and after a dogsledding trip with Wintergreen. With a grocery store nearby, we were able to pick up breakfast and dinner supplies and do some cooking in the shared kitchen. The room was very affordable with the winter rates and the added Wintergreen referral discount. The inn is cozy and centrally... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
A Stay Inn Ely is located at 112 West Sheridan. This 'Old House' at 112 West Sheridan Street was remodeled by the owners themselves. Each room is paneled with different species of locally harvested lumber (white and red pine, black ash, tamarack, and white cedar). Don left some of the wood as rough cut, to add a rustic beauty to certain rooms. Other woods were milled and handcrafted to random widths, either tongue and grooved, shiplapped, or board and batten patterns. We sanded and then oiled and varnished the rooms to a beautiful luster which allowed each room to achieve a rustic eloquence of its own. The spacious bathrooms have white cedar ceilings and large showers. Plush mattresses and deluxe pillows will provide guests with a luxurious night's sleep. There's a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and a Gathering Room with a fireplace for all guests. All rooms can be individually heat controlled and air-conditioned; and all rooms have cable TV and access to FREE wireless internet; Plus guests receive a complimentary fresh baked pastry breakfast with an assortment of coffees, teas, and hot chocolates at our Coffee Shop & Bakery with their reservation. We accept VISA & Mastercard. We honor AAA, AARP, and MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) with a 10% discount. Only one discount per reservation allowed. These Discounts do not apply with the present Week Day Special we are offering thru May 31, 2012. Check this 'Special' out on our webpage! ... more   less
