About this House

Enjoy great sunsets from this 2 Bedroom, 1 bath Burntside Lake cabin on a spectacular west facing parcel. This property will amaze you with its end of the road location, level easy access to the lake, sand beach, gorgeous rocky point, and a backdrop of a stunning and dramatic rock cliff! What a great scene! The cabin was built in 1956 by Milt Stenlund, the DNR researcher and author whose work helped protect the Minnesota timber wolf and contributed to the early efforts that led to the creation of the International Wolf Center in Ely. Stenlund was a friend of Sigurd Olson, sharing in the conservation movement that shaped the BWCAW. The cabin has been in the family all these years and is is a piece of Ely's cultural and ecological legacy. The cabin is very comfortable and has a nostalgic, classic Burntside feel to it. The main room has an open concept kitchen, living and dining room all with log beams and vaulted ceilings, and great lake views! There is 1 bedroom facing the lake, and also a second bedroom, with the 3/4 bathroom in between. Great times and fellowship will be had in the large screen porch that also faces the lake! Closer to the lake is a large barrel shaped sauna that can easily house 6 people, and is perfect for sauna to lake dives off the long dock! Also, lakeside decks for lounging, the large dock, the great swimming beach, and the beautiful rocky point with a hiking trail along the shore. This is Burntside Lake at its finest: tall pine trees, crystal clear water, great vistas, and a place to make great lifetime memories! There is also a large 24 x 11 storage building that has a nice workshop and a bonus room. Septic system, lake water system. The setting is spectacular! This is one of Burntside's most desirable combinations: premium sandy shoreline, ledge rock piney point, clear water, privacy, great sunsets, heritage, and modern functionality, all on a gorgeous, and nicely maintained 1.3 acre parcel!

    "Ely is surrounded by forests and it’s a lovely, peaceful place to reside. There are wonderful restaurants, shops, a great movie theater and a variety of outdoor activities to choose from year round. "
  • Derek H.
    "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 . "
  • Jennifer P.
    "Don't move here if you don't like being out in the woods. ppl on this town take care of each other. even if you're new. as long as you show you want to be part of Ely. "
  • Jennifer P.
    "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."
  • Rvhall
    "There is no public transport in this neighborhood , but Arrowhead transport does run in town for a nominal fee and there are weekly trips to Virginia Mn."
  • Lora L.
    "We have cab service and in town bus service. It’s a 25 block walk from first place in town to last. Generally, the city park,police,fire,library dot,and shopping district are within 8 blocks from anywhere."
