About this property

Wilderness Log Home on the River Ely•Lakes•Fish•Hike•Ski•Snowmobiling•ATV• Pets•

This Beautiful 3 bedroom, Voyager Log Home, on the river will give you the beauty of all thing's nature. You will be tucked in the north woods, on the Stony River, but have the location to explore the great outdoors, with hiking, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, wheeling, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sightseeing, endless possibilities. We are on a bird migration path for all you bird watchers. We have a fishable trout lake nearby, and if you like river fishing our river has pan fish, walleye, pike and bass to name a few. We pride ourselves in having a beautiful place to relax, have all the amenities you need to call home, with a location to make all your adventures happen. If you have a niche, we likely have the resource nearby. We are a 25-minute drive on the iconic Hwy 1 to Ely, Minnesota, where you can explore the International Wolf Center, North American Bear Center, and all the adorable shops and sights we have all come to know and love. A 20-minute drive will take you to Birch Lake where there is a public boat launch, beach, fishing dock, winter ice fishing, playground and picnic pavilion. Trails, we have organized and established trails! ATV and/or snowmobile trails for hundreds of miles brought to you by multiple clubs. There is groomed cross-country ski trails nearby, and you are only 1 hour from Giants Ridge for more outdoor fun. Oh, this might be a great time to mention our property has room to bring your boat, wheelers, snowmobiles and toys to park easily and safely. We have multiple outfitters ranging from fishing guides if you want help finding that secret fishing hole, or maybe a true fishing tale of the big catch that didn't get away. There are wildlife tour outfitters that will help you get a glance at many of the critters that call the forest home, including moose, bear, bobcats and more. Canoe outfitters that can help you paddle one of our pristine lakes in the Superior National forest, or Boundary Water Canoe area. Lastly, let's not forget booking a dogsled ride through the woods this winter, all within minutes of our home. After a long day of exploring, you will find comfort and beauty at our home to help replenish you for your next day adventure.

Perfect get away with everything you need in a very adorable cabin. Beautiful location on the river, with a great view from the porch, which was great for relaxing in the evening. Very remote location, service and internet just a bit sketchy. Highly recommend for a quiet get away

Beautiful, cozy, well appointed cabin in the North Woods with a scenic river! Great location for hiking (we did 4 hikes all within 1 hour drive), and close to Ely for shops and treats. Beds were very comfortable, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, pellet stove for warmth, strong wifi, and dog friendly which we so appreciate! Tera is an A host with excellent communication and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing your home, we hope to return next Fall!

Everything was great. The only bummer was the screen porch was locked and the bugs were bugging. Would have been great to use that space. Other than that it was wonderful. Private, quiet, clean.

This was one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. The home was clean and felt like a home away from home. Communication was incredible by the owner and the additional information about the area and where other services could be found was top notch. The property is so quiet and peaceful. A gorgeous cabin feel out in the woods. A fully stocked kitchen made making meals easy as cooking at home. On a clear night you can see all the stars and even the Milky Way! Super comfy beds and chairs too. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to get away from the cities and relax.

About the host

Hosted by Tera Amesbury

Host profile image
Hi, Im Tera, welcome to our home on the Stony river. I am a Mom of many children, 3 of my very own. I moved to the Stony River in 2020 it was my dreamy forever home tucked in the woods. I loved everything., the quiet forest, the river, the animals. The cozy log home tucked in the red and white pines, on the river. The tally I got to keep every year of how many moose I would see, watching the snowshoe hare turn its winter coat, to the river otters playfully playing in the river. Lets not forget the trumpet swans that sounded their horn as they returned to the river every spring to welcome the season. I loved it all. Unfortunately, stories change, and you have to adjust your compass. My girls went off to college, one to Nashville and one to Minneapolis my son who has profound medical conditions needed more services. Our little home on the river gave him everything a boy could ask for. He widdled sticks, ran through the woods, swam, fished, kayaked, we did it all. I never wanted to feel like I didnt give him the best world I could. Services were hard to navigate from the woods, he had grown to a young man and my fears of being able to manage his medical needs and provide services werent able to be met here anymore. That led me to many months of mourning my home, as I prepared to sell. Then to finding a solutuon by exploring the idea of short term renting. One day when the time is right again, I can come back home to the Stony River. In the mean time, I would love to share this beautiful unique, quiet, experience with you. Let me know if you see any of my animals, do check the night sky for the northern lights, listen to hear if the owls are hooting to eachother in the night. There is alot to experience and capture, and alot to explore near my home. I hope you enjoy it as I do. Thank you for staying with me.

Why they chose this property

The towering pines, the animals, the glimmer of the river, the twinkling of the stars, the northern lights dancing across the northern sky, the peace of the northwoods. The abundance of lakes, trails, and places to explore and see.

What makes this property unique

I believe you will find staying in our Voyager log home, in the Superior National Forest, on the Stony river very comfortable w two king, and one queen beds to find sleep in. All your basic amenities to be comfortable and able to provide a home like sense while visiting. The visual beauty of being in the woods, with the convience to explore endless places by car, foot, atv, snowmobile, boats, bikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayaks, and canoes. The abundance of lakes to paddle, fish or swim in with in minutes, there is to many to even begin to name.
