The property was clean, well-appointed, and reasonably priced. We stayed for three nights during a snowmobiling trip and found the space to be more spacious than it appears from the exterior. After a full day of riding, the on-site sauna was a welcome and appreciated amenity. The home is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood just two blocks from the trail system, which was very convenient. I would confidently recommend this property to anyone considering accommodations in Babbitt or the nearby town of Ely.
This is a great place to stay for our fishing trip each year. Very nice house lots of room. Would recommend very highly if you are going to be in the area.
This property is great! Everything from the updated kitchen, comfortable beds, great backyard, and the sauna in the basement. We will definitely be going back.
Well our stay was only two nights, The property was clean and convenient for our family of 5. It was an easy check in and check out process. So much more convenient than staying at a hotel/motel in the area. I would definitely stay again if we are back in the area!
Rode snowmobiles from the home in Babbitt to Ely, Tower and Isabella. Only enough parking for one vehicle plus a trailer, which worked out fine for us. Nice comfortable beds, and good television choices.
The house was located close to numerous awesome fishing lakes. It was cozy, had clean sheets and plenty of towels. The kitchen was stocked very well with all the cookware you would need to make some great meals. The fire pit and the grill outback were very nice too. I plan on staying here again next year and would highly recommend that you should too.
We are 3 sisters 70+ ages who just wanted to spend some time together up north. The house was very comfortable with 4 bedrooms (one bedroom had a spring mattress that we couldn't use) but the bedroom in the basement was ok. It was clean and we had a very nice time.
What a great house AND YARD! With permission and fantastic weather we had a short term gathering in the back yard as part of our 50th class reunion. The back yard was perfect for this and everyone who attended made comment of the NICE PLACE. We had a few questions which were sent to the home owner who responded immediately . Thank youfor allowing our gathering.
House was clean. Little snafu at check in but worked out OK as manager was responsive. Decent parking in the driveway and out front for trailer. Garage door needs some attn, I’m sure it will be repaired soon.
Liked the stay overall.

perfect for family
We found it just as shown in pictures, very comfortable, and family friendly. The owner was very helpful and very hospitable. Babbit is a small village with friendly neighbors. Zups market was our favorite stop for relaxed dinner at the house. (porchetta and stuffed chicken- stick it in the oven, ready, and so delicious!) Ely was our best choice for shopping, with plenty to explore. We used Piragis for our outfitter, as our destination was the BWCA.
The house has worked well for us a couple of times. One thing we would recommend is taking out or straightening out the fence along the driveway and removing the little tree there. We had two full size trucks both times . We try to park in the driveway and not on the road. Very difficult to get parked . Tree catch’s mirrors and little room to open truck doors.

Family sized house
Beautiful inside decor. Beds were extremely comfortable. With 4 bedrooms it was very roomy. The sauna was a great perk. Fenced backyard provided private space, but could use some clean up. Doors were locked when we arrived and we needed to wait until we could get in touch eith owner. Definitely get code ahead of time. Don't relie on her statement that doors would be unlocked. Would definately recommend this house, especially if you want a nice spacious home.
