Their website is a complete misrepresentation of their place. When we arrived at 5pm nobody was there to check us in. They left our keys in an envelope. When we got to our cabin which was about 300 yards from an insanely busy road, we realized there was no yard space, no privacy. We decided to take our dogs for a walk so they could stretch their legs, on one of the hiking trails they brag about being right around the resort, the only trail they have around the resort leads to a rock quarry where they dump their old furniture/appliance and whatever other junk they have laying around. The docks that they have pictured on the website are ALL but two sinking into the water (one of the many lawsuits waiting to happen) Our cabin, which the website promises all cabins have a full kitchen, had only a mini fridge. Another problem, the cabin had no AC. The website braggs that cabins 1-5 have AC. It was 85 degrees when we showed up and the cabin was completely closed up, hot and stuffy. Making an already old and musty cabin, even mustier. We figured we could speak to someone and get moved to a different cabin with AC and a full fridge. No luck. The only person up at the lodge was a bartender who claimed to know nothing and said that someone should be back the next day to help us. What a load of crap. We spent the night in the blistering hot cabin, it was miserable. We had to drive to town, spend $25 on ice to keep our food cold after 7 hours of driving. The cabin itself was very old, there was so much disrepair and broken things, it was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Half of the lamps had lightbulbs burnt out. And it was far from clean. The bedding and sheets did seem clean, aside from a few stains. We woke up the next day hopeful we could get our cabin matter resolved. We went up to the main office around 9, the lady at the front desk told us the manager should be there sometime that morning, when we asked if she had a timeframe of when she would arrive, she said "im not sure, we never really know, but i can give her your number and have her call you". By 11am we still hadnt heard back so we went back to the office, same thing. Finally around 11:45 we got a call from a very sassy, unhelpful manager who had no idea what was even on the website, stating that none of the cabins have AC, asked multiple times where i saw that listed. I told her i have screenshots of their websites homepage stating "NEW IN 2025 CABINS 1-5 HAVE AIR CONDITIONING" We realized we were getting nowhere with her so we compromised to get moved to a different cabin with a full size fridge, no discount or anything. This next cabin, even closer to the busy road, was small but cozy, no cleaner than the other one. On the final night of our stay the fridge malfunctioned and made an incessant buzzing noise. The railing was very weak and one of the many other lawsuits waiting to happen, all it would take was a little kid playig on the deck to tuble down into the rocks and lake below. There were c

Having been in the Resort and Restaurant business in the Ely area in the 1970’s-2000, I was used to the Gruba family who had high standards and were knowledgable. I was disappointed with my stay, the bed was comfortable and the place was clean. However, the access door was not secure, there were metal pieces which moved into the wood frame, but it was so chewed up that it was not secure. There was the receiver for a chain door lock, but no chain, the patio door to the deck could not be locked, I can not imagine a female traveler being comfortable place. Lights were not obvious in how to turn on, the supply of towels was incomplete. But, most disappointing was that internet was not always working and the power went out. When I inquired they blamed it on customers running their air conditioners. Geeze, if you have facilities for your guest to use the guests should be able to use them. The restaurant menu is very limited, fast service, but as restaurant Chef I have cooked a lot of walleye, their “Walleye Sandwich” was not Walleye. The restaurant service was fast, but, their were only two other tables, and one with their meal, on a Friday Night, obviously the locals avoid this place. The previous night a friend had told me that there was Karaoke on Thursday nights so I went to the bar and ordered sparkling water, the bar tender seemed upset that I did not want a liquor drink. After that he ignored me and spent all of his time with people who were obviously his friends.

I live in the Ely area, and for years I was a regular at Silver Rapids. After many changes in owners, and going down hill, I gave up on the place. With new owners now, and with a kitchen open (limited hours) I decided to give the new owners a go. I sat at the bar, and ordered a bloody mary and a full bottle of beer instead of a snit. I paid for the drinks in cash up front. I decided to give the kitchen a try, and ordered a cheese burger and fry basket at $15. I give the food a 3. BUT ... after eating I asked for the food bill. The barkeep rang it up, and my total included a RE-CHARGE for the drinks I had already paid for, at the tune of $27 plus dollars!!!! This is totally unacceptable, with the place not even a third full if patrons. I am not happy, and the place is once again sliding backwards. I WILL NOT BE BACK, and advise others I know of this experiance. Needless to say, I did NOT leave a tip! What a waste.

Definitely rustic and we prepped the kiddos about no tv or wifi in the cabins, so they were prepared. Beautiful view and very peaceful. Wonderful home base for us while we toured the area. Would stay here again.

I loved that we were right on the lake, only separated by beautiful old growth red and white pine. The room we stayed in was newly redone and looked great!

The view of the lake from my room was beautiful and peaceful. I loved sitting on the deck reading a book and looking over the lake. Very quiet place. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable.
