River Point Chalets…Minnesota
Vacation Lodging Hotels in Ely next to the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area BWCA
No list of the best in secluded getaways would be complete without the region's crown jewel, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Named one of the “50 Places of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler, this remote wilderness area stretches some 1.1 million acres across the border of northern Minnesota and Canada.
Charles Kuralt noted, “If it is absolute solitude
you want, you have only to paddle far enough.”
"Sweet Sundecks" |
It is only fitting that River Point Resort & Outfitting Co. would offer
Ely, Minnesota vacation motel and hotel lodging to complement the
active lifestyle of those who enjoy the great Boundary Waters…
New
at River Point Resort are four unique one-bedroom accommodations called Chalets,
each with a private sundeck and private entrance housed in a
huge cedar-sided beautiful lakeside structure. Located on the vast, mile-long wilderness peninsula of River Point bordered by the South Kawishiwi River and Birch Lake with direct paddle access to the BWCA, the
Chalets
offer lake, river,
and forest views.

CHALET INFORMATION AND RATES
The new Chalets-Ely, Minnesota Motels-offer yet another dimension of lodging options at River Point. Those who desire Minnesota vacation lodging with more of an
active “Eddie Bauer lifestyle” can be outfitted by River Point Outfitting Co. and venture off on a rustic, all-natural Boundary Waters canoe trip for an overnight or several day adventure,  and then return to a relaxing massage and warm bed overnight in one of
the new, comfortable River Point Resort Chalets - the new hotel units. Of course, one may also select the Chalet lodging for several days prior to the canoe trip adventure…the choice is yours!
Privacy and serenity echo throughout the entire River Point facility, and the Chalets are also an excellent Minnesota vacation-Ely,
Minnesota motels lodging opportunity for those who desire something more than the typical “motel” setting in downtown Ely. Naturalist programs,
hiking, swimming... and for the "active observer" traveler... listening to the call of the loon and moose watching are thoughtful substitutes for phones, video games, and
television found in a typical motel setting. From the sundecks of
the four Chalets, guests can catch the sun both rising and setting over the lake, and now-and-then in the night sky, Mother Nature’s other brilliant light show – the aurora borealis!
Lakeview. River Point's Ely, Minnesota Motel. The lovely Chalet
building is set back approximately 125-150 feet from the lakeshore
with level ground, and close to the east sundeck offering a glorious
lakefront setting with flowered terrace. Easy access from the four
luxury Chalets to the main marina, docking facility and north beach,
and also the west shoreline of Birch Lake enhances this lodging
option.
"The
chalet was great. . .the outdoor feeling was carried into the
chalet. Great view from the deck. We hate to leave!"
-Dan & Marsha W., Mukwonago, WI staying in Windsong Chalet

Three of the Chalets have a queen bed
in the bedroom, and one Chalet has a double bed and a set of
bunk-beds gracing the carpeted bedroom.

"We enjoyed
our visit more than I can express. The chalet was immaculate! It
appeared as if it had never been used and that we were the first.
Love the decor! The kitchen is stocked wonderfully and the
entire chalet was so comfortable; I haven't slept that well in a
long time."
-Tony & Deb F., Cloquet, MN staying in Sunrise Chalet
