Cabin vacation rentals in Burntside Lake, Ely

Highly recommend, very peaceful, clean, and fair priced. Beautiful view overlooking the lake. We will be back!!

Great cabin on the lake. Perfect for us to have a few days away. Loved our stay!

Great cabin — comfortable, clean, quiet. Well-appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated interior. Spacious rec room with a very large screen TV. Easy access to boat dock. Mike, the owner, was staying in another cabin close by, he was extremely helpful and friendly. The cabin itself is in the community of Crane Lake, on the water. It sits in a row of similar cabins. A small store (fisherman-oriented) and couple of bar/restaurants are nearby, easily walkable. We used this as a base for day trips (hiking and canoeing) into Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters. You can also walk to and hike the Vermillion Gorge Trail from the cabin — recommended.

We had a fantastic weekend and are so glad we chose this cabin! Easy parking and a quick snowmobile ride from shore, and we especially appreciated the flexible check-in, check out, and responsive communication before and during our stay. The space was comfortable and had a lived in feel, like home away from home (games, books, throw blankets, night lights, etc). The kitchen and pantry had everything we needed and then some, the beds were comfortable, there were ample hooks and storage spaces for our gear, and plenty of room to share meals, puzzle, and chat. The space has incredible views, and is very private and quiet...this was an awesome weekend escape for ice fishing and unplugging. The sauna was fantastic and we wished we had at least one more day. Would love to come back any time of year!!

Stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Giant’s Ridge ski resort with a couple buddies of mine. The cabin was accurate to the description and is tidy. A few ants roaming around upon arrival as expected with a cabin in the superior national forest. Otherwise clean place. Nice and warm, well heated. Has a wood burning stove more for ambiance. The running water had the classic up north lake water smell, but that is also to be expected. Terra was responsive and helpful. Nothing to complain about if you’re looking for a boundary waters cabin experience. I would definitely come back for a summer trip to fish and kayak.

Hidden Minnesota gem. The place is even better than the photos. Serene, extremely tranquil. Beautiful lake and lots to do for kids and adults equally. Love coming back to this place.

Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Well appointed kitchen with just the right equipment to be able to cook nice meals. Setting was beautiful, we really enjoyed watching the house birds and the changing weather on the water.

Wonderful place for a family getaway! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals. Toddlers, teens and adults were all entertained. Lovely accommodations, beautiful lake view

This cabin is a gem! Our family felt right at home and loved every minute spent here. We saw amazing signs of wildlife by day and enjoyed the cozy fireplace, sauna, and stunning night sky by night. Our hosts communicated clearly with us about getting to the cabin, but it’s worth mentioning that you might need AWD to get to the cabin in winter. If you want a picture-perfect, quiet spot to recharge, this is it. Book it and enjoy!

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

This cabin was wonderful. It fulfilled our needs while we were visiting family in the area. Location on the lake provided some beautiful sunsets. The host was great for communication. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The home was so comfy with thoughtful details to make each area of the home just perfect. We loved all the special decor touches. We went to relax and got that for sure. Deer coming into the yard while we were using the outdoor hot tub was an unexpected delight.

Had an absolutely fantastic time staying in Cynthia’s place. Smooth communications and checkin/out; rooms are very warm and cozy, amenities all work well, great location too. Will definitely rebook if returning in the future!

Host was kind enough to cover bag of firewood. Bedding was provided, and so was basic kitchenware. The listing indicated no "essentials" and I didn't realize there were no towels available.

We stayed at John's place in the winter, and it exceeded our expectations. The place was clean and well-stocked. Running the log stove and sauna were a must, as they were the only way to stay warm. We saw a wolf and many other wildlife during our stay. Snowshoeing on the nearby lakes were a highlight. The trails marked by Dave were easy to follow, along with the maps they provided. If you are looking for a peaceful trip surrounded by nature, you found the right place! Thanks to John and Dave for being so helpful and responsive.

If willing to make the drive away from all signs of civilization, whether it be for golfing, skiing, camping, roadtripping or otherwise, Jody’s place will always come out on top. The Bear Den Lodge exceeded all expectations, and had so many fun touches throughout the place in addition to its reliable amenities. My party made use of most offerings such as the screened hut, sauna, grill, large backyard, game room, washer/dryer, and the fancy bath tub! There were hardly any issues, the place was pristinely prepared, welcoming to guests and bears (only fake ones), and secluded. The only problem that occurred was a fire alarm being set off by the grilling we did. Due to the location of the grill, it may be more susceptible to triggering the fire alarm. To combat this, we opened a few windows in the front of the house (away from the grill), and turned on all fans and air control units (which were excellently reliable). In short, tremendous place, and I would certainly revisit!

We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin is adorable with plenty of space around it. After reading a few reviews about the train tracks being so close I was a little concerned about safety and noise. Once we arrived I noticed that safety was not an issue as a river (stream) is located between the property and the tracks. The train runs through frequently but it didn't have a negative impact on our stay and we live in the country with no trains. Randy was very pleasant to work with and I can't say enough good things about our stay. it was a perfect fit!

Cabin was great. Nice, clean, right on the water. The caretaker, Chad, did a great job checking us in and helping us as needed.

This house was the perfect hub for nature exploration in Koochiching and Superior National Forest! It was very clean, cozy and quite luxurious compared to other accommodations we’ve stayed at in the area, but still reasonably priced for 3 bedrooms. Appreciated the host being quick to respond and flexible with our dates.

Clean, homey, private and beautiful surroundings. We appreciate that the hosts and the home are super kid friendly as well as dog friendly. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for the whole family. The hosts are very prompt at responding and took extra time adding a couple sweet little touches that were personalized to us. We will be back to stay at this home in the future!
