Beautiful home! Kitchen has everything you need, saw 3 wolves on the road, beds are comfortable, view is amazing, weather was a bit too cold to enjoy the deck or the screen porch but hopefully next year will be a little warmer. Kids enjoyed the fire pit one night. Perfect weekend! Thank you:).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!
