May Specials! - Bright & Serene Cabin Overlooking Shagawa Lake
During November to May we offer special monthly rates, please inquire!
At the top of a rolling hill, surrounded by 20 private acres, sits a beautiful year-round one-bedroom cabin. Built by one of Ely’s top craftsmen, every detail blends a rustic setting with modern comfort, creating a warm and inviting retreat. A stunning wall of windows fills the cabin with sunshine. Thunder rolls overhead during summer storms, and snow falls softly outside in winter—while you stay cozy inside, feeling completely connected to nature. It’s truly a romantic place to stay.
The kitchen is a pleasure to use, featuring a Bosch dishwasher, 5-burner gas range, extra-large refrigerator, and plenty of dishes and cookware—everything you need for cooking and entertaining.
The full bathroom is located downstairs and includes a large shower, plenty of towels, and toiletries for your use. A dining table for four is perfect for meals or games, and a sliding door opens to a small patio with beautiful lake views.
Upstairs, the spacious bedroom loft features a king-size bed and a hot tub, where you can relax while taking in peaceful views of the lake. A private balcony off the loft is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in quiet solitude.
A sofa bed in the downstairs living room provides additional sleeping space and creates a cozy area for reading, watching TV, or simply unwinding.
Enjoy the outdoors with plenty of nearby trails for hiking and exploring. Evenings are perfect around the fire pit, and the property offers ample parking with room to turn around, making access easy. There is plenty of space for trailers, including boats or snowmobiles.
Bring your boat! Down the long hill and to the left on the main road is the dock area, where your own dock and parking space await. The lake offers abundant fishing, and just a few miles down the road, The Lady Bug Resort provides pontoon rentals and a boat launch.
In the winter, this cabin is a true getaway for cold-weather enthusiasts. You can snowmobile directly from the cabin, and the lake offers excellent ice fishing throughout the winter months.
Located just a few miles before Ely on Highway 169, you’re close to one of Minnesota’s most charming towns. Ely sits on the edge of the Boundary Waters and bustles all summer with canoe enthusiasts. You’ll find everything you need—restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and outfitters—just a short drive away.
This cabin is ideal for couples, families, fishermen, and outdoor explorers. Come rest, relax, and create lasting memories.

Great location for fall colors and wildlife. Close to town for any necessities and restaurants. Cabin was clean and had plenty of kitchen space and living area. We didn't use the kitchen much but it has items needed to prepare a meal. We were very impressed!!
The shack was very secluded and peaceful. Very clean and well equipped with everything you need . We enjoyed the quietness and the surrounding nature. Thank you Laura and Gabriela
I had a magnificent time staying in this home, even under threat of wildfires I felt safe secure and relaxed atop the hillside overlooking the lake. I will definitely be returning with my partner one day.
Excellent choice if you want a secluded spot near Ely on the lake. Cabin exceeded expectations, a comfortable north woods retreat with modern luxuries. Dock was in really good shape. We opted to rent a pontoon from the Lake View Lodge down the road, also a great spot.
Had a great week of snowshoeing and enjoying the people and scenery of the region. Great property and location. Always feel like i am coming home when i visit the Shack
Everything was as it said it would be. The king size bed was superb and very important to us as we both have bad backs. I could live here. Massive kitchen island. The beauty is all around you and seen from sunrise to sunset through all the glass. No need for artwork when you can view it live inside or out. This was a great escape from all the noise life dishes up. Very peaceful and restful, just what we needed!
Every time I walk into the Shack I feel like I am home. It is an amazing location and the cabin never disappoints. It will always be my number one choice in the BWCAW
The location could not be better! The house is cozy without feeling small, and has everything we needed, plus. This will be our go-to any time we're in Ely!
This trip was fantastic! The property is beautiful and located in a really great area. The cabin is equipped with everything you could possibly need to stay in for a weekend. This trip was also incredibly special as I proposed to my partner on the grounds. We will for sure be coming back!
