![Many of the cabins at Burntside Lodge, a family-owned resort in Ely, Minn., hug Burntside Lake. [by Kerri Westenberg] ORG XMIT: MIN2015060117594354](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/X2BPK7RTB67BMRKG3TR7AOLGP4.jpg?&w=1080)
Burntside Lodge occupies a wooded peninsula on Burntside Lake. The resort's 22 rustic-chic cabins, most built in the 1920s and 1930s, keep your attention turned to the lake; none has telephones or televisions. Together with the lodge building, circa 1911, the well-kept collection of mostly log buildings earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. It feels lost in time, but offers modern amenities, too. You'll find Wi-Fi, cappuccino and a movie screen at the lodge. 2755 Burntside Lodge Rd., Ely; 1-218-365-3894; burntside.com
