Set on a sandy shoreline, this uniquely flat lakefront property offers easy access and year-round enjoyment. The elegant yet comfortable 1,500 sq. ft. home features two bedrooms, an open-concept kitchen and living room, a dining table for six, a modern shower, laundry, and plenty of space to relax.
The larger east bedroom includes a queen bed, while the smaller west bedroom has two twin beds. The living room offers a large sectional couch, perfect for gathering after a day on the lake or trails. The bathroom and laundry room are conveniently located just off the kitchen, and an additional refrigerator/freezer provides extra space for food, drinks, and coolers.
We provide all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including basic kitchen supplies, linens, extra blankets and pillows, towels, and basic toiletries.
You will fall in love with the landscaping, docks, beach, outdoor patio, and fire pit. There is a six-person patio table, grill, and several Adirondack chairs outside for your enjoyment. The lake is clear and shallow, even quite a distance from shore. We also provide a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard to make your outdoor experience something truly special. We will leave you a list of our favorite local spots to visit on the lake, as well as a map to the snowmobile trail.
The property faces north and overlooks the lake. When conditions are right, it is not uncommon to see northern lights. This was a year-round private residence, so it well maintained and comfortable.

From the minute we arrived we were so pleasantly surprised. The cabin is situated on a sandy lakeshore & the interior of home is waaay nicer in person. The pics do not do it justice. It’s fully furnished to make the stay so comfortable. We had the best time & hope to return
We are seniors and could not figure out the Smart TV.
The bathroom needs more towel racks.
Other than that, we really enjoyed the cabin. It was clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake.
We were very happy with our week-long stay at the Somero cabin on Burntside. The cabin was very clean upon arrival and check in was easy. The location is great, the town of Ely is only a short drive away, and its spot on the lake is very peaceful. The small beach and zero-entry water access is great for kids, and the private dock is a bonus. To note, the area around the dock is very shallow and larger boats may have a harder time docking. The grill is also great for outdoor cooking. The inside of the cabin was very nice and comfortable with plenty of space and items needed to prepare food and hang out.
We had a great week and would definitely recommend a stay at this clean and peaceful cabin!
Beautiful quiet location. Warm and cozy cabin with plenty of room in the kitchen and dining for cooking and more. Cozy living room great for movies and relaxing. We had wonderful communication from the host with quick responses. We will definitely stay again.
Fantastic trip with kids and nearby family. Nice sandy beach with shallow water out a long way, perfect for kids. Nice updated cabin and kitchen stocked with nice cookware and utensils. Absolutely recommend.
We loved our stay at this cabin. It's located in a calmer part of the lake, which was great for kayaking and canoeing. The owners were very easy to get a hold of and overall, just an overall amazing time! We will be back!
We had a great few days with family. Comfortable place for us to sleep, gather and enjoy the lake. Close to Ely, easy access, yet private and so quiet! The loons sang us to sleep. We highly recommend, and we plan to return!
We truly enjoyed our stay and found the cabin to have all the comforts of home made special by its Burntside Lake location. The evenings during our stay were cool enough to enjoy a lakeside campfire, a glass of fine wine and the call of the Loons at sunset....doesn't get much better than that.
Beautiful property! We loved our stay. The only suggestion I have is you should consider getting a new mattress in the master bedroom. It was too soft and a bit lopsided. My neck suffered quite a bit. Everything else was quite wonderful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay: the photos of the property and “cabin” do not do it justice! It sits on a quiet, peaceful part of the lake. Deer walked across the beach in the morning, ospreys glided over the water, and loons called as the sun set. The beach was sandy and shallow, and the water was the ideal temperature for swimming. The canoe and kayak lent themselves to many adventures. Our hosts were exceptionally responsive and patient with our questions, which was greatly appreciated!

The lake setting is wonderful. The kitchen is a bit dated and could use some updating. The biggest issue was the interior still had air fresheners in it when we arrived and towels and bedding had been washed with fragrance fabric softeners. So, my wife could not sleep in the bed due to reacting to the smells. She is very sensitive to artificial fragrances.
We only spent 2 nights up north but this provided a fantastic getaway for me and the kids. The property was right on the lake and I was able to take the younger ones out on the lake in the conoe. The older ones, we rented paddle boards from an Ely Outfitter and they enjoyed taking them out on the lake. Well worth the money if you have teens as the lake location is ideal - not too much boat traffic.
