Beautiful modern 2 bedroom apartment, near trails, with big parking lot

You will love this modern and tasteful space with 2 bedrooms and one bath. There is plenty of room with 1000 sq ft of space. Both bedrooms are roomy; one bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has two twin beds. (Note that it is best suited for 4 people, but 5 can stay with one person on an air bed which we provide.) The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and is equipped with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator with ice and water on the door. The living room has comfy furniture, electric fireplace, and television with Hulu no ads, or stream from your own device.
The in-floor heat throughout the apartment will keep your feet nice and toasty during the colder seasons, and the new AC split unit will keep you cool and comfortable in the summer.
The back deck off of the living room faces a nice woodsy area. Visitors often see deer, rabbits, and other wildlife out back.
There is a large drive-through parking lot for bringing your trailers and parking them just outside your door. You can access local trails for ATVs, biking, hiking, snowmobiling, walking and skiing, all close by, right from the big, off street parking lot here!

Stony Ridge Resort next door to Semer's has breakfast and great burgers, and a nice outdoor seating area, as well as indoor seating.
If you are bringing a boat, there is a boat access to Shagawa Lake off of nearby Pioneer Road, and many other area lakes have public accesses.
Trezona Trail is a paved trail for walking, running, biking, and skiing that goes around Miner's Lake, right in city limits. The trailhead is just a few blocks away. There is a fishing pier on Miner's Lake as well as a boat access. Prospector Trail for ATVs can be accessed right from our door, as well as the Tomahawk and Taconite snowmobile trails. Hidden Valley has great single track and mountain bike trails, and skiing and snowshoe trails in the winter. Options are
many here in Ely! If shopping and lunch is more your style, enjoy browsing the unique shops Ely has to offer. How about treating yourself to a massage? Stop for lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants in town. Or stop in to Grand Ely Lodge on Shagawa Lake for a good meal, great view, and atmosphere.

No matter what brings you to Ely, you are sure to enjoy your stay here.

The apartment is exactly how it’s described in the listing. It’s clean, roomy, comfortable and centrally located. Trails are close by for walking, biking, skiiing or snowmobiling depending on the season. A lakeside park is within walking distance as is downtown. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds are comfortable.

This was a well appointed property! The space was excellent. It was easy to find and close to downtown. We all loved the shower, funny right?The only suggestion would be to have a small or rolling island for in the kitchen for more cooking/cutting space. The little extra's of the pop and beer/wine was a special touch!

Nice new appartment with plenty of parking for boat or trailer.

I rented this apartment for my dad who was coming to visit us nearby. The appartment was newly completed with all new furnishings. It was clean and my dad said it was quite at night. He was very happy with stay. We would recommend it to others.

Sparkling clean and thoughtful host!

Our family really loved staying here. It was new, clean, very comfortable, and Bonnie was responsive and great to work with. We had everything we needed, and some extra thoughtful touches added as well. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. The shower was nice and hot with good pressure. It was a perfect home base for our first trip to Ely and a snow adventure. We’d love to come back during the summer as well! Thanks for the great stay!

100%+ Satisfaction - Perfect!

This rental is more than perfect. The beds and the shower head are better than what we have at home! This is a really neat place. The kitchen is amazing and the big TV was wonderful & appreciated because we watched lots of movies during our mid-November stay. More importantly, the hosts were the most pleasant, kind, and thoughtful hosts we've ever experienced! We can't wait to return with our adult daughters to shop & explore the beautiful town of Ely. Maybe even throw a paddle in the water :) Thank you!!
