Ely Cabin | Fall Specials! Bright & Cheery Lakeside House on Bear Island Lake with dock!

3 Bedroom Cabin in Ely

Situated in the heart of the scenic northern woodlands of Minnesota, this spacious cabin on Bear Island Lake sleeps up to 7 guests and features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a year-round bunkhouse, making it the perfect getaway for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Just 15 minutes from the charming town of Ely—gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area—this lakeside retreat gives you easy access to unforgettable outdoor activities, from dog sledding, to canoeing and guided hikes. With ice fishing and snowmobiling right from the property!
Blending rustic charm with modern convenience, the cabin offers high-speed internet, a spa tub, fully equipped kitchen, and a laundry room. Step inside to a bright, open space that combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas—perfect for family meals, game nights, or simply relaxing by the stone gas fireplace. The well-stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook up your favorite dishes, and the private well provides crisp, clean water from 370 feet deep. The dining table seats six, with two extra stools at the island for added flexibility.
The cabin features two inviting bedrooms. The master bedroom includes a king bed that can convert to two singles, in addition this bedroom opens onto a screened sunporch—a dreamy spot to soak in lake breezes and starlit views. The second bedroom has a queen bed and private access through French doors. A spacious full bathroom is located between the two rooms (note: no interior door separates the two bedrooms, only a hallway).
Just steps away, the cozy bunkhouse is perfect for added privacy or extra guests. It sleeps up to three with a full-over-queen bunk bed, features a desk for remote work, and is equipped with heat, AC, and electricity for year-round use.
Outside, take in the breathtaking lake views from two large decks, splash around in the sandy swimming area, or dock your boat (up to three!) on the 24-foot dock. Roast marshmallows at the lakeside firepit, gather around the picnic table, and enjoy peaceful evenings by the water. When winter rolls in, the cabin transforms into a snowy wonderland, with easy access to cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and other seasonal adventures.
With room for up to 7 guests, parking for 3 cars and a trailer, and endless ways to unwind or explore, this is more than a cabin—it’s your home away from home.

Summary: Very pleasant stay. We had a lovely family reunion. Cooked full meals in the well stocked kitchen and very much enjoyed the screen porch and swimming off the dock. The neighbors are close but we’re easy to live near. The yard is very large and we out hammocks by the water and spent hours napping and reading. Lovely little lake. Plenty of space for my husband and my mom and me plus our 3 girls who stayed in the bunk house. Very very nice
