Minnesota -- Boundary waters?

What do people think about Minnesota, but a bit further north?


Some resorts listed here.

This one, Ludlow's Island Resort on Lake vermillion, is on an island. (Go look at the website. It's beautiful.)

This, Pine Point Lodge on Crane lake,  is on a peninsula and may be cheaper -- lots of nice waterfront cabins.

Here's a place with  cabins near Ely, on farm lake -- rates seem reasonable. Possibility for trips into the Boundary waters --

although, also the possibilty for hanging around at the lake. Rates seem quite reasonable.
