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!

Beautiful location, great communication with host, easy arrival/departure. House was spacious, clean, and had all amenities that I could ask for. It fit 7 of us with plenty of extra space and beds, could easily fit a few more.

Loved the location very close to town and the water was beautiful to look at in the morning and evening. The house was clean and we were so thankful for the washer and dryer. The sauna was a little difficult to figure out but other than that it was a great stay.

We were 2 couples staying for 2 nights while exploring Ely and we wished we could’ve stayed longer ! We had plenty of room to spread out, the full kitchen was much appreciated and we loved using the fire pit. Next time we’ll bring suits and try the sauna!

Kelly and your team - we had a great time at Sandy Point. The peninsula felt like a little oasis. A hidden gem. It was delightful to wake up to beautiful sunrises across Lake Shagawa. It was easy to access the unit and its proximity to Ely town, trails was excellent. We found the unit very clean. Appreciated the table tennis and playing pool when the weather outside wasn’t great. We think we will very likely be paying it another visit! Thank you, Kelly for being very responsive in your communication.

Can’t say enough about Kelly’s place. The location is absolutely spectacular and the house is great. It has everything you could want, including a dock and kayaks. It’s also a great place to launch bike rides into the lake country, if that’s your thing. Highly recommended stay!
