I loved that we were right on the lake, only separated by beautiful old growth red and white pine. The room we stayed in was newly redone and looked great!

The view of the lake from my room was beautiful and peaceful. I loved sitting on the deck reading a book and looking over the lake. Very quiet place. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable.

Cabin deck was in bad shape and dangerous. Cabin needs updates price of cabin was less than other cabins in area. Easy to make reservations. There wasn't any affordable boat rental in years past..

There are extra property fees that are added on by silver Rapids Lodge that you are not made aware of through Expedia. The website has inaccurate descriptions of the property and the cabins.. there is no air-conditioning in any of the cabins despite what the website says. They exterior of the property and the dock area is way rundown.

Our sheets were wet/ very damp on the first night and we didn’t discover until it was too late and office closed. Told them in the morning. She said they would contact housekeeping. Went back hours later and the room/bed was not changed.
Then we went back to the office and they handed us a bag of sheets to change ourselves. No apologies or oops, sorry that happened. Put us off. Bathroom door wouldn’t close. No crossbar in the closet to hang clothes. Has potential but could have been better. Cute fridge and microwave though!

Loved that it is closed to Ely, but outside, so it feels like a little remote resort. Nice bar, with locals that stop by for happy hour.

Beautiful stay. Cabins look like they are straight out of the 1970s which I thought added a nice touch to it. Appliances all worked well and was comfy. Very clean inside, and the area around it was really beautiful. We will most likely be back as we go up north to Minnesota once or more times a year.

It will be very nice when fully renovated, but worked great for what we wanted. Nice view of the lake set in the woods. Badic but clean accommodations.
