About this House

Ely's own Shagawa Lake Shipman Island Cabin, all to yourself! You will find it tucked under some towering pines and rugged rock outcroppings, mesmerizing lake views and nearly 900 ft of shoreline. The picturesque coastline is pure Superior National Forest—no neighbors, just loons, eagles, and the occasional moose who thinks he owns the place. Built in 2012, this cozy 560 sq ft 2BR knotty-pine cabin delivers classic Up North charm. Open layout, lakeside deck connects to the kitchen cabin, and a dock with walk-in swimming area that’s basically your own private beach. In the 1800s this island was the summer escape of one of Ely’s original doctors—proof that even back then, the smart ones knew the best way to make house calls was by boat. (The iron ring is still bolted to the west end which was used to corral logs. Now it just corrals compliments.) Shagawa Lake (2,344 acres, max depth 48 ft) is a DNR walleye factory, the walleye ain't waitin' paddle fast to get this one!

    "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."
