Spring is waking up the Northwoods, and it’s the perfect time to start planning your Minnesota getaway. Whether you’re a longtime Moose Track guest or dreaming of your first visit to Ely, we’re here to make your cabin escape as easy and unforgettable as possible.
Here are five helpful things to know before booking your spring or summer stay with us:
1. Spring = Peace, Wildlife & Crisp Mornings
If you’re after quiet trails, fewer people, and the soothing sounds of loons on the lake, spring is the season for you. May in Ely is peaceful, scenic, and full of signs of new life—think moose calves, migrating birds, and the first paddles of the season. It’s also a great time to fish, hike, or just enjoy a slower pace before the busier summer months arrive.
2. Summer Dates Fill Quickly—Reserve Soon
Our cabins are cozy, clean, and right near the water—and they tend to book fast! If you have specific dates in mind (especially in July or early August), we recommend booking now to lock in your favorite cabin. Don’t forget: midweek stays often have more availability and a little more solitude.
3. We Make It Easy—Cabins Come Fully Equipped
You don’t need to haul a bunch of gear north. All of our cabins come with full kitchens, comfy beds with linens, private bathrooms, outdoor grills, and beautiful views. Cabin stays also include an aluminum canoe, so you can explore the shoreline or head out for a peaceful paddle whenever the mood strikes.
4. There’s So Much More Than Canoeing
Of course, we’re just a paddle away from the Boundary Waters—but there’s plenty to enjoy even if you never leave the property. Cast a line off the dock, watch for eagles and loons from your deck, or simply unwind with a good book and the sound of the breeze through the trees. Want to stretch your legs? Scenic hiking trails are just a short 10–20 minute drive away. Families, couples, and solo adventurers all find their rhythm here.
5. Ely Is a Hidden Gem
Make time to explore town! Downtown Ely is filled with charming shops, outdoor gear stores, local eateries, and cozy cafés. Grab a cone from the ice cream shop, sip a latte, or pick up something handcrafted as a memory of your trip. We’re always happy to share our favorite local spots when you check in.
