About this House

Blue Heron Retreat. Now's your chance to grab your own spot on 2+ Acre large, Long Island on Lake Vermilion! Tired of neighbors, traffic, and other humans in general? Then this A-frame cabin on Long Island might be exactly what you’re looking for. Tucked near the East end of the island, this cute cabin gives you plenty of room to spread out. Bunkhouse or sauna bldg ready to be finished as you like. It features a loft, a main-floor bedroom, an open kitchen and living area, plus an enclosed porch and a charming little deck — perfect for dramatically sipping coffee while staring at the water like you’re in the movie "On Golden Pond" With 487 feet of shoreline, you’ve basically got your own little kingdom. And the best part? Your commute is just a quick boat ride from Stuntz Bay. No roads, no traffic, and the only neighbors you’ll have are the loons and the occasional curious otter, maybe a walleye. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekend getaway or just want to tell people you “own part of an island now,” Blue Heron Retreat on Long Island delivers serious privacy with a healthy dose of Northwoods charm. Come see it before someone else claims your island.

    "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."
