Excellent Stay and Wonderful Time

We have stayed in numerous VRBO rentals around Ely and in Northern Minnesota and all were excelent but this is the one we enjoyed the most. The house is great in all ways and the deck, yard, and firepit were perfect for us as was the location near the BWCA. Hosts were great to work with and we intend to visit again.

Very happy with our stay! Perfect back deck view of the peaceful, quiet lake. Well stocked & organized kitchen. Kids loved swimming in the lake and canoeing. Saw loons, eagles & a black bear near the property. Close to town & tourist attractions, yet far enough away to feel like a remote getaway. Had a great week!

The Boundary Waters Fall Lake home proved to be a wonderful vacation home for my family. It was big, beautiful, and stocked with everything we needed to make our visit great. Kial was a delight to visit with and responded quickly to all my inquiries. The view was perfect and being able to catch fish right from the dock was so fun.

Fishing opener

This is a beautiful, well-maintained home that far exceeded our expectations. The location was ideal for accessing the BWCA and Fall Lake fishing spots. We were very pleased with the layout of the home. The screen porch and expansive deck were favorite spaces.

Beautiful Lake Home

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful lake home (can't really think of it as a "cabin")! The photos in the listing are good, but don't totally capture the spaciousness, views, and attention to detail here. There are so many indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy! We rarely heard any neighbors and really couldn't see them at all. We also appreciated all of the storage available (huge closet inside the main door, great pantry area, cabinets in the bathrooms, etc.) unlike most rental properties.

Yes, the night skies in and around the BWCAW have allowed this area to be designated as the largest Dark Sky Sanctuary. It is truly amazing, especially out on the frozen lake in the middle of winter. Another reason to make a reservation in March!! :) Thanks for the great review. We hope you return!!

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Kial Rushlow

Host profile image
We purchased this cabin with a long history of vacationing in Ely. We love the unique and rugged wilderness of the area and the friendliness of the people who live here. We love the idea of offering our cabin to others to experience a place that heightens your senses like possibly never before. With so many things to do during all the season of the year, Ely, Fall Lake and The Boundaries Lake Home welcome you!

Why they chose this property

The Boundaries Lake Home welcomes you and your family to a truly unique and wonderful vacation. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath lake home has 2 floors for you and your family to spread out. With a full kitchen and gas grill, you can choose to do all of your cooking at the cabin.. The sunroom, deck, and large screened-in porch allow you amazing views of the lake while dining, reading a book or playing a game of cards. Fish from the dock or sit around the campfire down by the water's edge. A boat landing nearby allows you to bring your own boat.

What makes this property unique

We believe our cabin is unique in that you and your friends and family have direct access into the Boundary Waters right from our dock. Get your permit, gather your gear and supplies and put in from the dock. Then after a few days experiencing the solitude and pristine beauty of the Boundary Waters, return to the cabin for hot showers, soft beds and time to reminisce about the trip you just had. While you're doing that, plan next year's trip back to Ely and the BWCAW!
