We had a fantastic stay! Our family visited Ely for the first time and wanted to bring with 2 of our dogs. Very dog friendly, and had a great yard for potty breaks and really nice neighborhood for walking dogs. We have 2 young boys as well, ages 4 and 6. The house was very clean when we got there, and the garage attached with enclosed breezeway was great. The basement has washer and dryer that you can use, we didn't use it, but could come in handy. The beds were very comfortable as well. My husband and I are 40 so staying in a comfortable bed is a must for good rest :) The neighborhood seemed really nice. If it was warmer, we would've walked to the main street area for shopping and dinner, but decided to drive due to our 2 young kids with it being a bit chilly out. The host was very communicative and responded very fast to any questions we had. I'd definitely stay here again. Our visit to Ely was very fun! Thank you!

We stayed at Mike’s place for a month and it was perfect! Very clean, comfortable, and a short walk from almost everything. Mike was a great host- always very responsive and helpful. An excellent spot for an extended stay! Plus pets were allowed, which made the month possible for us! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Adorable little home 6 blocks off "the main drag" of Ely with plenty of space and comforts to enjoy a long weekend. Michael was communicative and friendly, the check-in process was super easy, and our stay was pleasant and comfortable. It is obvious that there has been a lot of work and updating done on the home and we endorse your efforts.

Wonderful!

Everything was wonderful! Couldnt have asked for better. From the moment we walked through the doors until we locked the doors behind us we felt at home. The check-in and check-out processes were easy to follow and our hosts even went to the extent of providing current guide materials to help us get our feet on the ground. We would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home.

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood

House was perfect for a fall weekend in Ely. We did some cooking in the kitchen which had everything we needed including morning coffee. Big screen TV in living room was perfect for winding down in the evening. Could easily walk the few blocks to downtown. Property owner allows access to park in the garage, which would be nice in the winter.

Everything we needed plus more

The code was sent to me ahead of time. It was easy to get in. Parking in the back. Clean garage. Wonderful three season porch. Couches and beds are very comfy. A grill with charcoal and starter fluid. Shampoo and conditioner provided. Coffee with filters or single pods available. Ac/ heat available. We needed both because we had all 4 seasons in just a few days lol.

Mike, I loved staying in your sweet little home. So clean and comfortable. Your directions for entering and exiting were easy to follow except , we didn’t know what to do with the bed sheets so we put them with the used towels, hope that was okay. I’ll pray for your continued success. Again, thank you
