Situated on Jasper Lake just Northeast of Ely, Minnesota are our three spacious, clean, smartly appointed rental homes and a lakeside event venue. We're ready to provide our guests with extraordinary lodging and fun-filled guided or self-guided trips into the BWCA and Quetico Parks. Our extended family enjoyed the lovely setting of the Bay House.
It was quite warm while we were there, so we enjoyed the beach and lake every day. It was a quiet and peaceful setting with beautiful sunsets and the call of loons. The house was spacious and supplied with everything we could possibly need. It was so nice to be in a setting that was quite private, yet a reasonable drive to Ely and other sites for hiking and fishing.

I would Give a negative ten stars if I could. I get to the place and my family are forced to wait two hrs for the So called cleaners to finish.
So, My experiences has been very daunting in regards to rudeness - deceitfulness - horrific hospitality, encountering mice infested buildings, uncleanliness of dirty showers, dirty floors with balls of human hair under the beds and no reimbursement.

Grabbed literally the last room in Ely after a rough weather day in the BWCA and it was perfect! Owner was so helpful and friendly and graciously dropped what she was doing to come and help us navigate the door lock that wouldn't cooperate. WEST LOFT Double loft suite and a shared kitchen were exactly what five bug eaten, stinky, wet and frazzled travelers needed to dry out and regroup. The rooms are classic North woods- clean, comfy, and homey. Had a little trouble getting onto the wifi but that may have been more user error than facility issue.

The most delightful spot to stay in downtown Ely! We had no idea what to expect on our way up but we were completely charmed as soon as we walked in. Each room we saw was rustically charming and cozy with all wood floors, ceilings, and walls and most importantly, comfy beds. Plus there's a little kitchen for use downstairs as well as a living room with a fireplace and games. We will definitely be back next time we head up north.

What a relief to find the Stay Inn. This summer I'll be visiting Ely for the seventh time. It's a great little town that is seriously lacking in decent accommodations. After 4 or 5 nights out in the bush, all I want is a good bed and a nice hot shower, and last year I discovered the Stay Inn. The bathrooms are updated, clean, and civilized. The bed was actually good, not just acceptable, but good. The common area is nicely decorated and comfortable. Oh my gosh, I can still feel the wonderful feeling of sliding my weary body into bed after our last trip. After years of spending

Cozy and intimate inn. We stayed here twice: once in the Evergreen Room (two single beds and a love seat) and once in the Amber Room (one queen bed, one single bed, a set of bunk beds and a wood settee). The rooms are clean and cozy. Furnishings are simple yet charming. The bathrooms are clean, updated and feature hot showers with nice water pressure. Another good lodging option in town is the Grand Ely Lodge, but A Stay Inn Ely is much more charming and offers more of an "authentic" Ely experience. Plus, A Stay Inn Ely is right on the main street in town so you can easily walk

My daughter and I have stayed here several times as we use Don's Jasper Creek guide service. The location is convenient to walk to the shops on Main St. The rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable. There is free parking. The community kitchen is nice if you want to cook something and not eat out. The other guests we've met have always been pleasant. We've never had anything stolen from the community fridge. Before Don bought and renovated the Inn, we stayed at 2-3 of the motels in town. We like this Inn much better and highly recommend it.

Don Beans & his wife Joan run this quaint B&B in downtown Ely which is located close to all the pubs, restaurants & shops. Don remodeled this old house using different woods from the area, which gives the rooms an up north cabin look. Very clean & charming. Guests can use the kitchen area and living room area that has a gas fireplace, nice for cool evenings. For your complimentary breakfast, just walk a 1/2 block down the street to the Basketree Bakery for a fresh out of the oven pastry & cup of coffee. Joan runs this bakery and it is also a nice gift shop. Don runs a
