I stayed in the narrows 2 cabin. I'm giving Silver Rapid Lodge five stars, however, you'll want to bring some items to make this enjoyable. Read the reviews before booking and know what to expect.

The cabin is old but clean. This is a rustic cabin experience located on a small waterway between two lakes. The cabin is next to a lightly used road and therefore traffic noise won't be an issue. Heating and air conditioning are provided in the form of an old box fan and a small space heater. During my stay the outside temperature fell to 36°F two nights in a row. The cabin was chilly but not freezing cold. The bed was as expected but I brought a mattress topper, 20°F rated sleeping bag, and pillows.

The bedrooms don't have electrical outlets. There are two outlets that I could find. One in the kitchen and one in the living room. Plan for that.

Bring food and charcoal if you want to grill. Or buy it in Ely when you get here. There's a gas oven that works great, a full size fridge with internal freezer, microwave and toaster. They provide utensils including a cutting knife, spatulas, wine opener, lots of forks and spoons. There is a bar and restaurant located a few steps away. I didn't stop in during my visit but they have burger and pizza items.

The hot water lasted a full shower and plenty of pressure. The water doesn't stink which I appreciated. The place was very quiet. Great location and views. You're a short twenty minute drive from two State Parks. You can walk five feet to the water and fish or put in a canoe. I saw there are side-by-side rentals and a canoe outfitter across the road. I didn't use either however.

Come here knowing what to expect and this will be a great experience. Also, the cabins were listed at a great price. I would stay here again.
