Really comfy place to stay when in Ely. Met some of the other guests and was able to walk around Ely for shopping and meals. A fun two days in Northern Minnesota.
This was the cutest little place to stay the only thing is the light from the patio so not shut off and their is nothing to cover the window on the door other than that the place was great
We had a lovely stay for 2 nights. Room was clean and comfortable. Shared kitchen was nice and the outdoor patio was great place to relax Communication with host was timely. Make sure you take advantage of the offered amenities.

Nice place, wish the rooms upstairs had mini fridges.
The room in the picture wasn't the room we got. Otherwise, it was fine. There is no staff at the Inn. I would stay there again.

It was pretty good. We're use to someone being onsite for immediate assistance so this experience with a "self serve/self help" situation was different for us. However, when I called the owner Adam for assistance he was VERY helpful. We would stay there again. It was very neat and clean.
The end was exactly what we needed. We stayed in the indigo room and were able to bring our dog with us. It’s so close to everything and getting a breakfast. Breakfast pastry and coffee at Northern grounds was the icing on the cake.
The indigo room is on the third floor so there are a lot of stairs involved. People should realize that. the Inn has been remodeled with naughty Pine everywhere and modern fixtures. It was super clean and beds are quite comfortable.
Property very cozy & north woodsy. Hard to find it since there was no sign in front. It was very hot in the room (winter) & it didn’t seem to make a difference by turning the HVAC system to off. Made it very difficult to sleep. Bird poop covered the mat & floor at the front entrance — very gross.
