We really appreciated the rollaway bed during our stay. The pool area was fun. The restaurant was good. The view from our room was beautiful. I was worried about pet or snowmobile noise but we had no issues. Most notably we left things behind in the room. Our fault but the staff was very helpful in getting it back to us. This may have been the first time a hotel has confirmed our forgotten items and facilitated their return.

They have beautiful patio views but the patio was closed when we visited so we sat inside and enjoyed the views from the windows. I wanted something really light and just got a side salad which ended up being pretty big. All the ingredients were fresh and it was just what I was looking for. Husband had the club sandwich which was also very good. It came with chips. Service was excellent. It was fairly busy in there so all the servers were on their toes keeping up with everyone. Nice stop.

Dropping and picking up canoe for the afternoon with directions, map and lifevest. I Enjoyed an afternoon canoeing with my dog. The Inn was clean and conveniently located downtown Ely and walkable to all the shops, restaurants and park. My stay included complimentary coffee and bakery item at Northern Grounds coffee and wine bar a block away. Both the coffee and muffin/scones were pretty amazing! There was a common kitchen with refrigerator, sitting room with fireplace. Coffee and tea available 24/7. I really appreciated them making me and my little dog feel so welcome and taken care of. My room was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels and a handmade soap. No need to bring much all the toiletries were there including a hairdryer. Outside seating was available on the deck. The other guests were friendly and pretty respectful of quiet hours so I slept well. Should I return to ELY, MN again I will stay at THE STAY INN and will recommend to anyone headed to the area.

They were more than accommodating, helpful, friendly and full of knowledge about Pelican Lake and the surrounding areas. I came with my boyfriends family who have been fishing for 30+ years. These past four years I fish regularly and really like it...but now I get it-and I love it. The Lake will make you a fisherman. The sun is up at 5a and doesn't set until almost 10p on some nights. When it's too hot try out the putting (it's pretty challenging and well maintained) They have Frisbee Golf, a bike boat, canoes and some great places to sit, relax and enjoy the view and sounds of Orr, MN. I was very comfortable and felt very safe. If you need anything town is just 15 minutes away. Each cabin has a BBQ and some come with a dock (we were lucky ours had one) I wish I had more time than a week. I just went into the lodge for the first time right before we left and it was amazing. So much history. I can't wait to come back! Thanks Guys! PS-Check out the Bear Sanctuary (5-8p)
