This was our 4th stay at this wonderful property. We immediately feel at home in the comfort of well-appointed cabin/house, easy lake access, beautiful views, loon calls, wildlife sightings, and (the bonus) Northern Lights! Eagles Nest Lake 1 is peaceful and Chellney and Mark are excellent hosts. We enjoyed all the greater Ely area has to offer...invigorating hikes, biking and walking the Mesabi Trail, boating, canoeing, fishing all with the right amount of downtime to balance our days. Our 2-yr old Black Lab loved it as much as we did.

Ely Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The views of the lake were awesome and location was fairly close to everything we wanted to do and very close to Bear Head Lake State Park where we did some hiking. The cabin is just as the pictures show, was very comfortable and would definitely stay there again. The cabin is well supplied and the kitchen had everything we needed, was probably the best supplied kitchen we have had.

Lovely stay

This was our 4th stay and the first under the new owners management. We really appreciated the updates like the new windows, landscaping, chairs by the fire pit and the cleaning up of the shoreline. It was a clean and comfortable stay for our week in the area. Being so close to Bear Head State Park is a plus. Enjoyed viewing the friendly deer in the yard on most days. I’m sure that we will be back for a 5th stay.
