Burntside Lake Cabin & Guest House w/ Expansive Views - 4 seasons, pet-friendly

The main cabin features sweeping lake views, Northern white cedar tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, and tall windows and sliding glass doors that bring the outdoors in. White oak engineered flooring with in-floor heat keeps the space comfortable on cool nights and cozy through the winter months. Covered and open decks wrap the home, offering multiple places to relax, dine, or simply take in the scenery.

Above the heated two-car garage, the guest house provides a private two-bedroom suite with a kitchenette and living area, all framed by floor-to-ceiling windows with long views of Burntside Lake. Both covered and open decks—with built-in seating—extend the living space outdoors. In total, the property offers over 1,100 square feet of deck space.

Set on approximately 370 feet of shoreline, the property includes a Floe dock tucked into a protected area of the lake—perfect for swimming, fishing, or launching a paddle into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. A public boat landing is located just a few houses away, making access easy for guests bringing their own watercraft. Wildlife, peaceful woods, and unforgettable sunsets surround the cabin in every season.

From the property, enjoy fishing off the private dock, swimming in the clear waters followed by time in the wood-burning barrel sauna, paddling, reading by the wood-burning stove, or relaxing on the deck while listening to waves lap the shore. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a playground for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

Outdoor adventures abound nearby, including the Bass Lake Trail just 3.5 miles away. The town of Ely—only 10 miles from the cabin—offers excellent dining, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, dog sledding, special events, and more.

Pricing includes exclusive use of both the main cabin and guest house. Smaller groups who may not require both spaces are welcome to inquire directly.
