From the moment we walked in , Willie and Betsy were absolutely fantastic. We were met promptly and pleasantly, shown to our cabin, and it was clear that if we needed ANYTHING, all we had to do was ask.
We stayed in Cabin #9, at the top of the bluff, and the views were out of this world. We stayed during the height of the Perseid Meteor shower, and were not disappointed. The skies were crystal clear, and virtually no light pollution.
We visited several of the museums in Ely, and highly recommend making the trip to Soudan to visit the mine. Me and my two boys (11 and 13 years) loved it. They warn against people who are claustrophobic, but none of us felt particularly closed in, and there were no tight spaces. In my opinion, the darkness was the only thing that may cause difficulties for some people.
We didn't have much luck fishing, but it seemed we were the exception, as the fish house was bustling the whole time we were there.
We have every intention of coming back next year!
