Ely, MN in January, the Blue Heron is the place where you can enjoy yourself and the beautiful scenery. Come back from a day of Dog Sledding, a walk through the woods and across the frozen lake or just a day in Ely, you'll have a warm fire waiting for you and even the sauna. The breakfasts that we had... More

Stayed 3 nights in October (7th, 8th, 9th) Two of those nights we had the place to ourselves, was great to sit by the log burner in the evening after a days hiking, reading and listening the radio. No TV which is great access to the wilderness around excellent. Breakfast great especially the corn pancakes, not too much to overface... More

This place rocks. The extra cost over in-town hotels/inns is well worth it. The property abuts the BWCA and is perfect for winter or summer visits, when a day trip into the BWCA is plenty. We skied and snowboarded into the BWCA and returned in time for a soothing sauna and the best meal you'll ever have in Ely (as... More

I have just returned from a three night stay here and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. First of all the location right next to the Boundary Waters felt like paradise. They have had even more snow than us and the trees were covered. The hosts for the B & B, Jan and Bill, were... More

First, the good. The B&B is in a beautiful setting, with terrific views and great proximity to the BWCA. The rooms are clean and well-kept, the beds very comfortable. The bird feeders attract lots of great birds, there are lots of homemade jams and things at breakfast, and Sam, the proprietor's dog, is at the ready with a wag and... More

Many B&B's restrict children in order to cater to the couples market. Others are so full of fussy antiques that it's like you are sleeping in a museum. That's fine, I suppose but it limits your options if you are traveling with a kid. This B&B is run by a really nice couple who gave us lots of ideas for... More

Tucked down a lane in the woods and overlooking a lake, the owners have designed their lovely home with a lot of thought and loving care. The minute you walk into the lounge area, you feel relaxed; it has a lovely 'woodsy ' feel but there is no compromise on luxury. We stayed in 'So Forth' which was so comfortable... More

Luxury under the stars surrounded by peace, with friendly and competent owners, and very nice rooms and a small restaurant. We arrived late and there were welcoming notes on both entrances lest we not feel lost. Dinner was just finishing and were greeted and walked to our room. A walk onto the deck put us under stars with no lights... More

Blue Heron B&B is located on a lake and they have canoes if you want to go out. I stayed in the "So On" room, located upstairs with a door to the outside deck. Jo and Bill are wonderful hosts. There are two common areas, one upstairs with access to microwave and frig, and one downstairs. They provide a common... More
