Simple Place
The place is basic a a good value -- There is no "front desk" or on-site rep. Look for your email for access information. Also might be a little hard to find as it is a house on main street Ely. Just rely on Google Maps and you'll be fine. Parking in on the side of the house or off the ally in back.

We were surprised when we arrived that there was no one present to greet us, just a piece of paper with door codes and basic rules/instructions. We were not aware that the property was basically an Airbnb or Vrbo. The property itself was clean and well kept. Our room was nice except for the bathroom. It had a pedestal sink, so there was nowhere to put toiletries, and there were no towel hooks or rods, so towels had to be draped over furniture in the room. The shower was great - no complaints there. The bed and the pillows were extremely comfortable - some of the best we've ever used. We were told that there was a "grab and go" breakfast, which was true but misleading. Breakfast was provided at the coffee shop a block and a half down the street, not in the building, and it consisted of a free cup of coffee and muffin or $7 off your purchase of other food. The food was good, so we can't really complain, but it was not what we were expecting. The TV used Roku, and we weren't able to find anything to watch, but that might have been our fault for not being tech savvy. The TV instruction page said to press the AT&T button on the remote, but there was no AT&T button. This was a minor inconvenience because we don't go on vacation to watch TV. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would likely stay again.

Not much to like, Called twice and left messages about the lack of heat no one returned the calls. Very limited parking and it was so dark in front we had a hard time finding the entrence. It was NOT worth the money spent to stay there. When returning to Ely We will stay in a different town before going back to this place. When paying $170,00,a person should get a warm clean room at the very best. We have stayed in better places that cost less than 1/2 this amount. We deserve some monetary consideration to make it right,

Our room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable but nothing to see out of windows except other houses. Would have liked a vanity in bathroom, pedestal sink is not convenient. The one thing I would say that we didn't like at all was that the parking spaces were so limited.

we stayed here last year in a different room and really liked the location and ease of checking in. Bonus ! free coffee and pastry at the nearby coffee shop! this year , we had the upper most floor and was not perfect for a tall person but still a great place to layover for before or after the BWCA.

I was driving a big work truck, and parking was a little tight. Check-in was easy, once I got the door code for remote check-in. Its an old building with creaky floors, but remodeled, clean, and very cute. Shared kitchen is a nice feature.

Exceptional stay
Wow, so impressed! This cute house turned Inn is in town walkable to everything. There are 5 bedrooms with use of the common area living room with fireplace, dining area, kitchen and dining table on the outside deck. We were in The Crimson Room which had an outside entry door too. Coffee and teas, games and books and cards are available. Free coffee and a breakfast item was provided at the coffee shop one block down the street. Refrig/freezer was nice to keep our drinks and cooler items cold, ice was nice to have for cold drinks. Our room was cozy with built-in bed, little sofa and large bathroom. Everything is new-like, no carpet anywhere so smelled nice, and in excellent condition. Self check-in was easy. We met other nice guests while we were there. I would highly recommend if you are ever in the area. Thank you to the owners for such a great stay. We will definitely be back.

Wouldn’t stay here again. Drove past the hotel 3 times before “finding” it. Hotel sign not very visible. There was a few sticky, black marks on floor of hotel room. There were no batteries in the remote for the television. I called the after hours number and told them and they said they would try and find someone to bring batteries. The “Ivory” room were booked is advertised with a television and cable tv. You need a remote control to work the tv. I would never stay here again. It has been about two hours since I reported tv remote not working. I have not heard anything back from anyone.

As somebody who is allergic to dogs, I guess I would have liked a bit of a heads up that they allowed animals on this property. There were several clumps of dog hair left behind on the ground throughout the room and the bathroom. I did take photos, but I did not alert staff. We did not spend much time in the room, we pretty much were just there to sleep. Pretty pricey for just one night, but it is a tourist town so it was expected.

We stayed here 3 nights with our two dogs in the Crimson Room. We enjoyed the great location and walkability around Ely. Other than a dusty headboard the room was very clean. I also liked the convenient access with key codes. The Crimson Room is really small and with our bags, shoes, and two dogs who slept on the floor, it was a real challenge. The private entrance was a nice feature with the dogs. It would have been nice to have a shelf or side table or something to set things on. The only place to lay anything down like a phone, keys, or a cup of coffee was on the headboard of the bed (which was very dusty). They do need to fix the interior door to the Crimson Room. It's loose and anytime someone else opens or closes a door in the rest of the building the Crimson Room door rattles. Another thing to keep in mind is the place is covered in wood (floor, walls, and ceiling). It looks nice, but there is little to no fabric anywhere and that makes every little noise audible. When I was laying in bed I could hear people going up and down the stairs at various hours. The first couple nights we stayed, there were guests in the other rooms that decided to party and be loud in the common area till late in the night which was annoying. Overall, I would say it's a great place to stay in the right situation. Like if you have a large family gathering or a large group, it's a nice idea with the shared common areas.
