Kurt, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved this place and would definitely stay again! Owner was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint was the strong smell of fragrance which we guessed was maybe carpet powder because it didn’t really dissipate despite us trying to air it out.

mike, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We received a warm welcome from the owner who chatted away about what was going on in town, places to eat & things to do. Our room was spotless & bed comfy. We loved Ely, the Wolf & Bear Centers & perusing the shops of Sheridan Street. I even had a dip at Semer’s Beach on recommendation.
