The property was very rustic and everyone was so nice. The boys loved fishing and hanging out!
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed the fire pit a lot. The room was satisfactory, missed having a tv, a little bit. The ceiling tile in the bathroom kept falling down. We would probably stay here again, though. Its a beautiful spot and close to Ely.

I loved the location and it was quiet and close to the river! Parking was a little cramped and our coffee pot was broken. Other than that it was very nice!

Great Place to Stay. Muy Bueno.
We had a great experience at Silver Rapids Lodge. The place is a gem, very clean, friendly, rustic, and for the right price. The cabin had all we needed to make our trip comfortable.

Dated resort, but clean and friendly with spectacular lake views and easy access to the water
jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Was ok - stayed 2 nights but no breakfast/food despite a restaurant on the property. Had to walk down cement stairs to get to room. Could not enjoy view or open windows due to heavy smokers being outside quite frequently. There are talks about this property being torn down this fall.

jacki, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Christopher, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Outside of some newer carpet, it didn't look like the place had been updated since the 1960's. NO TV or WIIFI. Lumpy old beds (probably original mattress), Old uncomfortable chairs and sofa/sleeper bed, Worst night of sleep I've had in a long time.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never at that place again
The place was supposed to be cabin but was old motel , no a/c no tv one little fan in room. Never again was misarable in 89 degree weather
Charles, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute little room. Nice walk to the lake. Blueberry Mule was wonderful!!
Sheila, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Kurt, 1-night trip

Super friendly staff. On a lake. Lots of people. Perfect for my low maintenance needs.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

they advertise Internet, but there is no Internet in the rooms. They should clearly state that. They could easily update the furniture and carpeting in the rooms. Also the steps leading down to the bottom level of the building needs to be replaced for safety reasons.

10/10 Exceptional

Hey, it’s a little run down, but it’s clean and everything works. The bed and bedding were great and it was one of my most comfortable sleeps in any hotel or resort. I had a lovely view and didn’t want to leave. I’m picky and wouldn’t have chosen it if there were more options this week, but this was a very good experience and I will be looking to book here again for sure.
