I used to live in Ely and had to return for my mothers funeral. The accommodations were outstanding. It was still winter basically up there (not supposed to be lol) and we had a lot of people that were coming and going, the cabin we rented was perfect for what we needed, we had enough room for all to gather...

Was called to Ely for a two day stay, and my company gives me a lot of freedom on where I stay. This place was mentioned to me before so I decided to check in there this time. What a nice retreat and break from the "run of the mill hotels". I almost had to call into work to take... More

On an early April, Friday morning in Duluth, MN, with cabin fever in full effect at home and a weekend ahead with no plans, my wife hatched an impromptu escape for a day or two in Ely, MN. She quickly searched online and found many options. The first one caught her eye: Nice, 'woodsy' website, nice pictures, separate cabins with... More

Let me start by saying this, we (my family and I) are budget travelers. When we camp, we stay in tents. When we go to Mexico, we stay in hotels without A/C. When we go to Wisconsin Dells we stay at the Pink Flamingo...you get the picture. We have put up with mold, bugs, filth, noise...I have never, ever wanted... More

I It's amazing people can always find something to Pi** & Moan about!! Yes the sites are small and the motel... More

We stayed in cabin #1 and even though it was outdated it was clean. The staff was great and very helpful with anything that we asked. The lodge food was great and the bar staff was fun! We did see the camp sites and they are very tight and on gravel, but the cabins were great! We will stay there... More

This review is based only on the jr suite motel rooms and restaurant. NOT the cabins or campground. Stayed 2 nights with my mom. Restaurant- decent offerings and prices. Chicken dinner entree ($12) that I had and the shrimp entree ($16) that my mom had were both good. Nothing super special, but a good portion and a nice salad with... More

Stayed in a deluxe hotel suite. Very dirty and outdated. No air conditioning and it was really hot and humid out. No TV. Food at restaurant was good. Staff was friendly. Views of lake were nice. You can stay at a much nicer place in Ely for $129.00. Luckily we were only there one night.

My wife and I stayed in the campground June 23-29 2012 on site L14 in our 27 ft 5th wheel. Sure it might seem a little tight backing into your site if your used to pull thru sites but it can be done. Our level site was big enough to be able to use our slideout and also unroll the... More
