Unique Stays - Northern Exposure Cabin

Nestled in the heart of Ely, this modern log cabin is the ideal base for exploring Northern Minnesota’s year-round adventures. Named "Northern Exposure Cabin" for its exceptional stargazing and Northern Lights views, the cabin is designed for all seasons.

Overlooking Shagawa Lake with 238 feet of private shoreline in Ely proper, it’s perfectly situated for Walleye fishing and close to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In the warmer months, you can enjoy hiking, paddling, swimming, biking, fishing, 4-wheeling, picking berries, and exploring the town.

The cabin offers a great winter escape with opportunities for ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, reading, or playing board games. No matter the season, you can start or end your day with a traditional cedar sauna experience.

This retreat is perfect for family and friends, comfortably accommodating up to seventeen guests across four bedrooms and four bathrooms within its spacious 2,932 sq ft layout and multiple gathering areas. Cozy up by the gas fireplace, pick a book to read or game to play from the stocked bookshelf or grab a cup of coffee and relax in the rocking chairs on the lakeside porch.
