About This Home

Your Northwoods Story Begins at 2815 Schaeffer Road, Burntside Lake, Ely, Mn. Some places simply hold you. This vintage seasonal cabin on beautiful Burntside Lake is one of them - a quiet, charmed escape where towering pines frame big water views and every sunset feels hand-painted. Step inside to rustic warmth and lake light. Step outside to the full-size deck, where morning coffee lingers a little longer and the sauna - Finnish, woodfired, and lake-adjacent - turns evenings into ritual. A roll-out aluminum dock invites you closer, a soft sand beach invites you in, and the clear Burntside water does the rest. The expansive lot gives room to breathe, dream, and imagine. And a newer 22×24 garage with finished loft stretches the possibilities - guest quarters, lakeside studio, or your own creative hideaway. Perched minutes from Ely and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, this cabin is both retreat and opportunity: a seasonal sanctuary, an adventurer’s basecamp, and a rare slice of paradise on one of Minnesota’s most beloved lakes. Embrace the magic. Own the getaway. 2815 Schaeffer Road, Beautiful Burntside Lake, Ely, Minnesota.
