I’d recommend the adventure in as a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Juli or perhaps like us on your way to the boundary waters. The staff was amazingly friendly and kind and willing to help in anyway, that location is excellent with easy walking to the charming downtown of Ely. (Less than 20 minutes). To top it all off they offered charging for electric vehicles they even have a Tesla charger. Thank you!

Not a luxury property but very comfortable and clean. Sometimes older properties have a lot of dirt build up but room was spotlessly clean. Furnishings are not fancy but everything goes well together and feels like a guest room rather than a hotel room. I like that owners are eco conscious. I would absolutely stay there again.

One night stay with teens. Great for the price. The smell of bleach walking in was a bit strong at first but other than that, things were good.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was quiet and cool and the beds were amazing! It was close enough to town to walk to stores and restaurants, but far enough away that you didn't get all of the noise. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family and anyone else coming to Ely!

Noisy road and you can hear your neighbors. Bathroom WAs great and very clean, bed was comfortable. Tv was small but minor issue there. Towels were very old and scratchy, shower pressure was non existent but it did get you wet. Overall for just a quick overnight it was fine.

We loved our stay - clean and extremely comfortable beds! We already booked our next stay for October. The air conditioner was on its lowest setting but didn’t cool the room much so it was a bit warm. We also had a broken blind and had to request a sheet to cover the window because of the light but they brought it up immediately so the customer service was amazing. Overall it was a great stay!!

The property was very clean but the pictures on the website are deceiving. It is nowhere near the lake there’s no dock it’s right in the middle of town. It’s kind of ran down. The inside is OK.
