Stayed in cabin #3 this past weekend. Everything was great except the weather. Mike and Sarah were very helpful with any ? I had. Didn't get to experience all the ammenities they have, but everything looked good. It was very quiet and relaxing. Ely is a short drive so we went there for dinner both nights. Will definately be back.

We spent five days here over July 4th and loved it. We had Cabin 4 which was cozy and perfect for two. It was at the very end of the cottages so was very private and quiet at night The deck had a lovely view of the lake secluded. There is a nice little sandy beach and a boathouse well... More

Been coming here every year since I was born. Fantastic lake with very little development. Great old log cabins mixed with some newer additions. Love jumpin in da lake after a sauna and looking our for stars and occasionally the northern lights. Always a few loons, some pike to eat and lots of fun with friends and family.

My son and I spent three wonderful fall days at Northernaire and enjoyed every minute of it. Our cabin was very clean and well furnished to meet our needs. During the day we canoed on beautiful Mitchell Lake. (Just one warning: there are no places to safely land a canoe for a picnic or "rest stop" if one person is... More

We stumbled on this place after calling a few places that were fully booked and were SOOO pleased we did! The cabin (#3) was gorgeous, the bed comfy with a lovely patchwork quilt and the kitchen and bathroom were pretty much exactly what you'd want. The screened porch, fire place, BBQ and chairs meant you could enjoy the sounds of... More

We stayed in cabin 10 this summer. It is a quaint, vintage log cabin that has been kept up fairly well and modernized. We loved the densely wooded property, the cheerful managers and having our own dock and fire pit. The lake was very peaceful. The swimming area was nice for our 2-year old with lots of toys. I'm afraid... More

Don't go here - I want to keep it like it is - a wonderful secret. Private, great hosts, great fishing - and if too many people go there it will screw it up and there won;t be any reservations available for my family. They'll raise the rates too. No phones, no tv, no internet - so you won't like... More

My wife and I spent New Years Eve and New Years Day this year in a beautiful cabin with a wood burning fireplace at the Northernair Lodge on Lake Mitchell in ELy, MN. It was one of the best cabins we have ever stayed in. They have retained the classic Finnish craftsmanship (amazing) yet the kitchen and bath were both... More

My wife and I just stayed at Northernair Lodge on Mitchell Lake near Ely. This was our second year there and everything was as excellent as we remembered. This isn't a slick expensive place like some resorts in the area. It's a nice, unpretentious property with a wide selection of cabin types - no two the same. We've stayed in... More
