As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
When it comes to northern Minnesota lakeside getaways, there’s no destination more popular than Lake Superior. But being the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there are nearly endless other options to consider. Lesser-known lakes will let you enjoy the scenery while avoiding bigger crowds. Not only that, but cabin stays around these lakes are often more affordable and offer up the same amenities – and views – as Lake Superior vacation rentals. If that sounds good to you, you might be interested in the cabin we’d like to introduce today. Just outside of Ely, Minnesota, this hilltop Airbnb offers gorgeous views of a stunning northern Minnesota lake. Check it out:
In Ely, Minnesota, on a hill overlooking Shagawa Lake, there's an Airbnb stay perfect for those looking for a beautiful and peaceful getaway. With stunning lake views and comfortable amenities, you'll love your stay in this cabin.
The cabin is bright and beautiful, with tall ceilings and walls lined with huge windows. The living area is comfortable with plenty of seating. A small TV provides entertainment, though you'll likely be more entertained by the stunning views outside.
Alongside the living room, a lovely kitchen is outfitted with everything you need. You'll have all your basic appliances, running water, cooking tools and dishware, and a big countertop for prep. Just bring the food, and it'll be just like home!
You can enjoy your meals in the dining area, which seats for. A huge window in this space lets in plenty of light - and allows for some gorgeous nature viewing as you eat.
Other amenities downstairs include a fully functioning bathroom. Upstairs, a loft bedroom will be where you lay your head at night. There's a king-size bed as well as a smaller air mattress if you need it. In total, this cabin can accommodate up to four guests.
In addition to the beds, there's a door to a fantastic balcony overlooking the scene outside. In addition, the hot tub could be a lovely place to warm up on a cool northern Minnesota night.

This is a great place to relax, enjoy meals, or watch for the plentiful wildlife that lives in the 20 acres surrounding this cabin.
There's also a grilling area, complete with both propane and charcoal grills. This northern Minnesota cabin on a hill is a gorgeous setting for a peaceful getaway!
