About This Home
Northwoods off-grid cabin that adjoins public lands! This beautiful Voyageur Log Cabin is located on 10 acres with seasonal road access just south of Ely, MN. Property offers direct access to many trails in the area for the ultimate recreational retreat including snowmobiling, ATV, and skiing opportunities! Enjoy the cabin year-round with easy snowmobile access – parking and trail are located nearby! Cabin offers a great floorplan with an open kitchen, dining, and living room with an enclosed bathroom with a composting toilet on the main floor. A spiral staircase leads you to the half loft sleeping area. The cabin is powered by a solar panel and generator with propane heat. The cabin is set up for very limited water use by using stored water inside that gravity flows to the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and shower, which all flow to two 5-gallon buckets for dispersal. There is a large full-length deck on the front of the cabin, and a large deck outside with a 13'x11' screened gazebo for enjoying the outdoors, along with a fire pit area, a woodshed, and an additional storage shed. Make memories and get away from it all at your own cabin!
