Family trip
The cabin is situated with no other cabins in view. Beautifully decorated Minnesota Cabin thats extremely functional. The boat was perfect for this lake even with high winds you can easily get around. The wildlife on the island made the trip. We cant wait to come back.

Very nice cabin and super location. Got lucky with the Northern lights and beautiful weather. Bed is comphy. It's as described with being "off grid" but it certainly isn't roughing it. Its luxury camping for sure. Kitchen is well equipped and we did most meals over a week on site. Lake had significant algae while we were there. Miners lake close by was great for a dip.

Idyllic island
My husband and I booked over Labor Day weekend through the week. The cabin and little island were just perfect! I love the way Neil has carved out little areas to capture all the beauty surrounding you in Shagawa. The hammock area for reading or napping! The sunset sitting spot (perfect to share some wine and star gaze)! The fire pit area to host a small gathering of family to toast marshmallows and eat chili!! Perfection! The cabin is well appointed and cozy. We were very comfortable thru some wild weather and temperature swings! The provided boat allowed us easy access to Ely and all the fun there too! Couldn’t be more pleased! Also, caretakers Rob and Lee were friendly, responsive to questions and super helpful. FIVE sparkly stars!! Thank you!!

Loon Island Getaway
The property is exactly as described. We were looking for a boundary waters "light" experience as we are getting a little older and struggle with the full wilderness adventure. This cabin fit the bill perfectly. We enjoyed how fully stocked and appropriated the cabin was for being off the grid. We were able to cook numerous delicious meals. There was plenty of water, TP, paper towels, bedding and towels. We used the provided boat daily as we went fishing and into Ely for a fun day. We hooked up the trolling motor to help maneuver the boat while fishing. Overall, it was a very relaxing week on Loon Island. If you are looking for an off the grid experience, this place is for you. But you can still turn on the lights for a while and make some toast!

Very nice family retreat!
My family and I had an absolute blast! We stayed for 4 nights. The cabin is quaint and cozy and the electricity is also nice for modern conveniences when you have kids. We had one cold rainy day so it was nice to head in and explore Ely and went to the Bear Museum.

Great getaway!
We really enjoyed our time on Loon Island. The cabin was spectacular as was the quality of our stay. We enjoyed fishing with the provided motorboat and enjoyed a few walleye dinners. We left feeling restored and reset. Thank you!
