BWCAW＃8の眺めを持つエリーの北東20マイルの3ベッドルームのキャビン

We’re a family-run business based just outside Ely, Minnesota, with a long history of helping guests experience the beauty and solitude of the Northwoods.

For generations, we’ve shared our love of fishing, paddling, and quiet mornings on Moose Lake with families and friends who return year after year. Hosting gives us the chance to introduce new guests to the rhythm of the wilderness—slow mornings, sunset paddles, and time together that’s uninterrupted by screens or schedules.

Moose Lake sits at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and looks directly across the water into Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park. It’s remote enough to feel truly wild, yet still accessible by car—making it one of the few places where you can launch into protected wilderness within minutes of your doorstep.

We chose this location because of its stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and direct access to canoe routes and world-class fishing. The surrounding neighborhood is made up of a small collection of cabins, outfitters, and local homes, creating a quiet, respectful community of people who value nature and adventure. Whether you’re waking up to the sound of loons, paddling into the BWCA, or watching the northern lights from the screened porch, this is a place where you can disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what matters.

Hilltop Cabin sits at the highest point on Moose Lake, offering unmatched views of the surrounding forest and waters of the BWCAW. What truly sets this cabin apart is its blend of history, character, and access: it features reclaimed doors and windows from Ely’s historic Lincoln School, giving it a nostalgic charm you won’t find anywhere else.

Guests love the large screened-in porch with vaulted ceilings—the perfect place to relax, reflect, or watch the sun rise over the water. The cabin comfortably sleeps up to eight and includes modern amenities, cozy furnishings, and full access to the services of our family-run resort. It’s rare to find a place that offers both the solitude of the Northwoods and the convenience of on-site support—from boat rentals to expert local advice. Whether you’re here to paddle, fish, or unwind, Hilltop offers a truly memorable experience.
