About this property

Come stay in our comfortable Everett Lake home! The home is large, comfortable and located on five acres with over 700 feet of lakeshore.

The cabin has three bedrooms plus a loft, sleeping up to 10. It has two fireplaces, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, large deck and great views of Everett Lake.

The home is on the Echo Trail, close to the boundary waters and to Lake Burntside. In the summer, you can canoe across Everett and short portage will take you into Twin Lakes, the Dead River and Lake Burntside. Another portage on the property will take you into beautiful Fenske Lake. There is a beaver damn on the property and other wildlife abounds in the area. Two aluminum canoes provided.

In the winter, the house is well insulated and easy to heat. Take advantage of abundant cross-country skiing and snow-mobiling on the Little Grassy Trail. Listen for wolves and if you are lucky, watch the Northern Lights. We have a Finnish Sauna in the basement. Relax in our traditional cedar sauna before going to bed. If you're brave - run out into the snow!

NOTES:
Everett Lake has a 10 HP limit on motorboats, and we respect our neighbors desire for quiet and privacy. No jetskis, ATVs or large motor boats please! This is a very quiet setting, and these types of motorized vehicles are out of character for the Echo Trail.

WE HAVE TWO RING SECURITY CAMERAS - ONE AT THE REAR DOOR AND ONE ON THE FRONT PORCH.

This is our 3rd or 4th rental at this property over the last 10-15 years. As always, it is a great place to stay. Lots of outdoor stuff to do. Jim

Great lake cabin with room for activities

Great place to get away from it all with ample sleeping space for 8 people. Very pleasant, functional cabin. Access to Everett lake for some cross country skiing. We saw fox tracks, and maybe bobcat.

Ely cabin

We loved our stay at this property! It is in a beautiful, peaceful setting. The lake is the perfect size. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoes available to our family, the sauna and Foosball were fun editions. We were able to all have our own bedrooms and we loved the large common areas for relaxation and family fun! The kitchen had all the needed supplies, as well as linens and towels. We appreciated the quick response from the owner of questions we had!

Loved our stay here!

We loved our stay at the Echo Trail cabin! The property and cabin was so neat-you get your own private nature trail to the lake. Our first day there we paddled around Everett Lake and took the short portage to Twin lakes. It was beautiful—even if we did get rained on. The location of the cabin puts you right in between Ely and all the other adventures Echo Trail has to offer. The house itself was very roomy and comfortable. Bedding and towels were all clean, and the kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to eat in the cabin. Now, the house has its character—there are a few quirky things. For us, it all just added to the charm and making the place the feel like a homey, up-north cabin. None of it, however, detracted from a wonderful stay and week. We’ve been doing an annual trip to that area for a decade and hope to be able to stay again.

Ely retreat

Cabin was spacious with great amenities! Downsides are proximity to Echo Trail road and public trail that runs alongside one end of property. We had a group of fisherman drive their boats down to lake one afternoon. Driveway must be shared for public use. Lake is very quiet. I can’t recall if posting mentioned you can’t swim from shoreline. Owner provided paddle boards, kayaks & canoes for paddling & exploring the lake. Cabin would be great to visit in winter when lake is frozen. That said, overall we enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Sean

Sean and Joselyn met in the Bay Area, but soon after getting married, Sean managed to drag Joselyn back to his native Minnesota. As a Californian, she was skeptical at first, but fell in love with the North Woods after her first dogsledding adventure. Today they live in Minneapolis with their three wonderful kids, but get up North every chance they get.

Why they chose this property

Joselyn and I found ourselves returning to Ely again and again, mostly the YMCA Camp DuNord. Over the years, we started to look at properties, including another one on Everett Lake but could never find anything that was just right. Ironically, we had noticed our cabin a number of times as we drove the Echo Trail, commenting on how nice it looked. Then one day in June 2006, I was browsing the Bear Island Land Co. website and found this place for sale. Joselyn was out of town, so I called the realtor, packed his camping gear and drove up an hour later. I made an offer the next day. We haven't regretted it for a moment, and can't believe our luck to own such a place.
