In hopes to see the comet
Great location for a fall family get-together. We had mild temperatures allowing us time to explore the outdoors. Clear night skies to look for the comet and northern lights. The home is so large and comfortable. Open floor plan with a beautiful, windowed room overlooking the lake. Large kitchen with all the supplies we needed. Bedrooms with comfortable beds and linens. Large bathrooms with a tub and/or shower. Homeowners always approachable and great with their communication. We did not get to see the comet yet enjoyed quality family time just the same. Thank you for a lovely stay at your beautiful lake home.

Our perfect family retreat
The Boundaries Lake Home is the only place we have ever stayed in Ely, and this was our fourth visit. No need to look any further! This home has everything to accommodate us (one of whom is wheelchair-bound), our adult children, and our grandchildren. The home is beautiful, and has absolutely everything we need to gather for quality family time. The space is generous for a large family meal and game night, with plenty of smaller spaces to curl up with a book away from the crowd. The deck is large and offers a beautiful view of the property and Fall Lake. Kial and Dave are amazing hosts, and Kial checks in to make sure we have everything we need, and is always available if we have a question. This is definitely a 5-star property with 5-star hosts, and we enthusiastically recommend it to anyone traveling to Ely and the Boundary Waters. We are grateful for our time with our family in this beautiful home!

Kial’s house is on the north side of Fall Lake. You can’t help downloading because of this location along with the home decorations and lake front beauty. Kial has thought of everything you need and the House is very organized. We will be back!

Beautiful and inviting vacation home
Nestled in the woods on Fall Lake, our vacation home was beautiful and so homey. It met all of our needs-local boat rental, we could use the dock for the week. We loved the area for nightly campfires and star gazing. The little bench area our furballs and kids and grandkids loved making sandcastles and relaxing. It’s the perfect location and we will be sure to rent again in years to come. It’s close enough to town and far enough for privacy. We loved it

Beautiful home
This home is absolutely beautiful! Everything you need for a week stay is there for you and I love how the kitchen cabinets had labels so you knew right where to put things back. The owners have thought of every detail for your comfort and I even received a text the day we checked in to make sure everything was satisfactory. Our dog had fun swimming in the lake and we all enjoyed sitting on the deck. I would highly recommend this home for your Ely stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

A wonderful 50th Anniversary vacation
The lake house was perfect in every way for doing what we love to do, which is spending time with family and enjoying nature. The set up was great for playing games, bird watching, dining in multiple areas.The views of the lake were amazing! Having our own deck was great for canoeing and fishing. We've stayed at many places and this was by far our favorite.

Perfect place to recharge.
Beautiful quiet lake home. We enjoyed time exploring outside. The temps were mild and the fall leaves were gorgeous. The home was large and comfortable allowing our family the space to stretch out and settle in. We did not even use the television because when we were together, we were eating, visiting and enjoying the large deck overlooking the lake. Just the perfect place to recharge for the work week ahead. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful home.

Friends gather to paddle and hike
A spacious, comfortable, sparkling clean home on a great lot on beautiful Fall Lake, less than an hour's paddle to BWCA. The location allowed us to paddle every morning and hike in the afternoons. Plenty of games for the evening hours - and a great kitchen in which to prepare meals.

Perfect Family Retreat
This was our third getaway to the Boundaries Lake House, and once again, we were thrilled with this amazing property. Our family, ages 9 months - 70 years, enjoys our annual reunion in its spacious gathering spaces, yet still finds enough privacy and seclusion to be in multiple rooms to read, play, enjoy quiet time alone or in small groups. An added bonus is its accessibility for our family member with mobility challenges — absolutely everything he needs can be found on the main floor, which is fully accessible in his wheelchair from the driveway, as well as to the large and beautiful deck overlooking Fall Lake. The home is well-appointed, with all the amenities we could need or want. And our hosts are absolutely amazing — available, attentive and accommodating. We could not have asked for more, and recommend this property without hesitation — you will not be disappointed!

They Thought of Everything
We have rented several cabins Up North in MN over many years. This cabin was hands down the best of them all! It was clean and tastefully decorated. The gas burning "wood stove" was easy to turn on and off as needed to give us a quick warm up on chilly mornings before it got hot outside. The kitchen was very well appointed and each cabinet was labeled so it was a snap to find everything we needed. They even had recycling facilities in the garage! The owners were easy to reach via text throughout the visit and questions were answered right away. We love to visit nearby Ely, MN and it was an easy ride into town. There are many things to see and do in the area, but it was also fun just to hang out in the cabin and on the lake. We would love to come back to visit again.
