Very nice place! Very well equipped/supplied. Great location! Host responded very promptly to our questions! We cc skied, dog sledded, fat tire biked, and snow shoes all within 30 minutes
Andrea’s Vrbo is beautiful. Everything in the home is meticulous and top notch. A very comfortable and relaxing home. The location is great. Everything in town is within walking distance. We had a wonderful stay! Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Home
This home is perfect for its variety of space - indoor/outdoor/3-seasons room - and is adorned with some really neat art pieces with what I’m guessing is a German/Dutch (?) background. The kitchen is generously stocked. Bedrooms are fine. Lots of linens available. We enjoyed riding the trails in the area and hope we can stay here again!
Corrections to the listing…no barbecue grill available. Patio chairs are in bad shape. Two have their seats ripped out. There is one bathtub/shower. There is NOT a hot tub or spa tub.
We stayed for the month of August & were given a discounted price for the long-term rental, less expensive than a comparable rental in nearby Ely.
The home is quite spacious, including a finished basement, with the exception of a very small bathroom on the main floor. There are essentially three living areas in the home: main floor, basement and sun porch--all with an abundance of comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well-supplied, but not much space leftover for our own groceries. There is a nice, large sauna in the basement, adjacent to laundry facilities. However there is no hot tub/spa as advertised, which was a bit disappointing.
Hpuse was very nice with updated appliances and furniture. Only downfalls were that we found a dirty washcloth hanging in bathroom and we didn't receive communication on door code prior to arrival and had to call manager.
We needed a quick getaway and this seemed close to trails and perfect. We got in on a Thursday and left Sunday morning.
The house was set in a nice quiet neighborhood and people waved and were kind. On Friday, we rode 148 miles of trails and capped off the night with dinner and a sauna.
Thanks for a nice place to stay.
The home was very nice and clean. It was a very enjoyable and economical stay for our group of four.
Andrea is an excellent host! We would definitely stay there again!
This is our 2nd stay at this property. We really like it! This time my daughter brought a friend with her, and they had a great time. We had many good meals, and the kitchen is well supplied with most any equipment one might need. We will stay again soon!
Nice quiet neighborhood, easy check in, super clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked with everything you would need, comfortable needs and couches, enjoyed the sunroom. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. Was in town for the Ely marathon!
Perfect for a home base for seeing the sights on the Iron Range and BWCA. We felt so comfortable lounging in the living room and the back 4-season porch after touring the surrounding towns from Ely to Eveleth to Hibbing and Chisholm and more. Three bedrooms and two baths along with fully stocked kitchen made our stay just like home.
Great location for ATV riding. Not the cabin like country location but in the small town neighborhood. Despite that the trails were accessed without trailering them. Very clean, sauna was a nice plus!
Honestly the pictures do not do the place justice.The 4 of us were in the area for some fishing, so the location is ideal. The house was immaculately clean and inviting. It was furnished with everything we could ask for and then some. I cannot recommend this place enough!!
The home was more beautiful and comfortable than we had hoped.
This was our first experience renting a vacation home and this home was just amazing! We were so happy with our choice. The home was more beautiful and comfortable than we had hoped. I took my father and son fishing on Birch Lake. The house was exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable!!! The kitchen was amazing and we enjoyed relaxing on the outdoor deck looking at the evening skies. We would stay here again!"
Very nice smaller home that has everything you need to have an inexpensive experience.
On the small size compared to most listing but was perfect for what we needed and was very budget friendly. Neighbor hood was very quite and off the main track.
We came up for a week to tend to some business with our land in Ely that we purchase last year. I have been coming up to the Ely area since 1996, and this is the first time we stayed in Babbitt. What a lovely little town! Quiet and peaceful. This home was so awesome! Nearly everything we needed and there is Zups and Dollar General in town for things you may need. Plenty of room for us to spread out and get cozy. We cooked a good number of our meals here, even made some homemade Pierogi, using the kitchen aid mixer to make the dough quick and easy. Beds are so comfy! And I love the floors throughout! Even tried the Sauna and it was nice for relaxing. We got to see the Northern Lights for our first time, looking right out the front window. So amazing! Would definitely recommend this place to others!
