A Spacious Ely Vacation Rental for Families, Friends & Outdoor Adventures

Northern Lights, Fishing, Paddling & Year-Round Adventure at Your Doorstep

Northern Exposure Modern Log Cabin brings together the classic feel of a Minnesota Northwoods getaway with the comfort and space of a modern lakefront retreat. Located on Shagawa Lake in Ely, this spacious log cabin features 238 feet of private shoreline and accommodations for up to 17 guests, making it an ideal destination for families, groups of friends, and multi-generational vacations. Guests can enjoy beautiful lake views, a screened lakeside porch, a wood-burning cedar sauna, fire pit, kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, and plenty of room to relax after a day exploring northern Minnesota.

Adventure begins right outside the door. Spend summer days fishing, paddling, swimming, hiking, and exploring Ely, or visit during winter for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and quiet evenings beside the fireplace. The cabin is conveniently located near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, while the four-mile Trezona Trail Loop is accessible right from the property. And when darkness settles over Shagawa Lake, the cabin’s northern setting offers opportunities for stargazing and catching the Northern Lights—an unforgettable way to experience Minnesota’s wild north.
