Top Ely Hotel Reviews

Silver Rapids Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the view from the dock."

Welcome toThe White Iron Heritage! where coming together happens naturally.

8/10 Good

"There were many things we loved about the property. It's quiet, secluded, and the fishing once we found our "place" was great for smallmouth bass. The weather the week we were there was excellent as well which helped a lot. Jeff was kind and courteous and helpful and let us use his personal childhood canoe so we didn't have to lug ours along with us from Iowa. As far as the cabin, it is unique. We found it to be a bit too crowded and some of the wildflower bouquets had a bit of a scent to them and were too large for the small cabin space. There are many antiques and artifacts so I did feel a bit like I was in a museum and that almost museum like smell might bother sensitive folks. I'm fairly sensitive, but I managed to do okay. I prefer natural smells to the plug in chemicals any day and there were no artificial plug ins. On the last day a visitor joined us in the form of a rather plump little mouse which creeps most people out and did me as well but what are you going to do? Set mouse traps perhaps? Mice like to do that in fall--come in and get out of the cold. I notice a bit of some kind of bleachy cleaner smell when we were checking in as he was finishing up the kitchen cleaning. I did find the stock of pans and dishes to be very adequate. I prefer cast iron and stainless steel to teflon/nonstick, and those we had for our fish fry. Yay! All that to say, we would consider a repeat trip as we enjoyed the quiet of the lake and the fishing was fun and plentiful!!"

Northern Exposure Modern Log Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this property! We stayed at this property with 6 adults and 8 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us all week. We loved the outdoor area with canoes, kayaks and a paddle board. The kids loved the beach area and the grassy yard to play in. It was minutes from town and we even walked to town once on the Trezona. We will be back!!"
