Just an all around beautiful lodge with amazing sunrises. You won’t regret staying here. From all of us in our group we can’t wait for next years trip.

We loved staying at Kellys place. It was the quiet getaway we were looking for. The place was nice and clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Kelly was very resposive and even helped me find a place that sold shoes when I realised mine had been forgotten at home. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time during our stay. There was lots to do even though the weather was still a little bit cold. We can imagine how much more there would be to do once the weather starts to warm up. It was peaceful and quiet, and the scenery was gorgeous. Definitely would like to come back again!

Peaceful and relaxing place to stay. We had deer visiting everyday, large kitchen with room for many helpers. My family enjoyed that they had their own space and the bedrooms were comfy. Sauna was a plus. Close to town for shopping, restaurants, coffee, grocery’s, hiking trails, fishing and local museums. Host was prompt, friendly and communication was A+.

We loved staying at Kelly's! Great location for enjoying winter activities like cross country skiing, snowshoeing and walking. Private location, but also very close (walking distance) to town. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets on Shagawa Lake. We also loved the sauna! Bed spaces for nine people makes this a reasonable spot for a group to stay.

We go to to Ely every year for the winter festival. Have stayed at a number of bnbs there and this was absolutely the best fit for our family. Great location private, we were able to walk right out and do ice fishing. The sauna is a great option! We will be back next year!
