The kitchen with a wonderful dining counter, living room, 3/4 bath, and bedroom, make up the main level...along with an attached huge 25 x 12 seasonal screen porch where owners regularly have great wildlife sightings including moose! The stairway to the loft has custom hand-hewn log railings leading to the 25 x 15 loft room that is a fantastic 2nd living room or a 2nd bedroom with great views and maple flooring. The home is south facing with vaulted ceilings and generous sized windows, and the cabin is filled with natural light and views into the wilderness! Features include well, septic, solar, campfire area, 24 x 8 deck, fully insulated utility shed that houses the generator and batteries, and the property directly adjoins thousands of acres of Superior National Forest lands!

    "Ely is located at the end of the road. No roads go to much further north due to the boundary waters canoe area which strictly prohibits dwellings or any man made structures. Ely can seem like a long way from anywhere at times and the community recognizes this and most willing are willing to help whoever and whenever the need may arise. We take care of our own and then some . "

    "as a new comer to ely try to get into activities around town, especially if you have younger children who are not school age. jobs are not always easy to find and though the cost of living is fairly low you do money can get tight quickly. ely is a nice town but it's hard on you too. more work for less. your kids are safe here but still know who you're talking to before hand."
