Ely...where the road ends. Every since I first heard the late Charles Kuralt speak of Ely I wanted to go there and I did staying at the Lodge and loved it! Kuralt was on target. Ely is a laid back, cool place to be.
Consummate traveler Charles Kuralt calls state town his top spot
After 25 years on the road for CBS, Charles Kuralt was asked to name his five favorite summer places, and Ely, MN [gateway to the boundary waters and the starting point of all Inward Bound trips], came up No. 1.
"It's possible to walk into Ely dressed in a business suit and within one hour be fully charged, outfitted, equipped and paddling a canoe on wilderness waterways," he wrote in a TV Guide issue.
"The people who live here say that you could paddle a canoe for 100 years and visit a different lake every day."
One of several items to put on your must see/do list when visiting Duluth. The guided tour is worth the price of admission.
Outstanding and well managed property. We look forward each year we go to Duluth and this hotel. Right smack in the middle of the Canal area.
Our #1 favorite hotel.
Interesting display and information regarding the area and the big lake. Worth a visit.
One of only a handful remaining in the country and is a major attraction in Duluth
