Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had similar experiences to other reviews. The location can't be beat. Close to Ely, multiple lakes, and trails. Quiet lake on the property. We were there in cooler October, but still used the lake. Muddy for swimming, but not our focus. we did not use the AC but was plenty warm when it snowed! Check in was a breeze, and there was a lot of space, especially the main dining area. Communication was smooth. While it is spacious, it is a "cabin." It you are looking for the newest amenities probably not your cup of tea. However, the dishwasher and oven worked just fine. The sauna is great. The upstairs bathroom as others noted is a little strange, but it worked for our family. Agree the upstairs shower is not very functional, but we used the tub (after we cleaned the residue that was present). The bathroom/shower on main floor is functional. Bedding was clean and beds were comfy, but we did have to clean the kitchen counters and vacuum upon arrival (there is one on the property). There were at least 30 dead flies. The area rugs /floors looked like they had not been vacuumed in months. (We have a young toddler). We also had to clean the bathtub as noted. minor things that need repair. There were cleaning supplies and descent vacuum available. Nice fully stocked kitchen and equipment to use for the lake. There are baby gates present, but not up to current safety codes, but were nice to have. The stairwell has large gaps, so we did get creative with blocking with coolers, etc, but we made it work for our crawling 12 month old. I also do not expect the owner to accommodate our exact needs, so it was nice to have. However, depending on your needs, you may need to bring some of your own things. Highchair is standard highchair you would see in a restaurant. we brought our own pack and play, but the one there looked fine. It was also a great place for the dog. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the cleaning fee is tacky due to the condition of the cabin upon arrival (Especially because others have commented on this for years when I read the reviews). However, we have a family cabin as well as understand if you do not use the property often this is common for dust, etc. Just seemed weird for a rental, especially with a cleaning fee. Overall this did not have a negative effect on our stay as we were able to accommodate. May consider staying again...but with different expectations. Cleanliness aside, it was a 5 star location
