Treehouse is a local businesses founded and operated right in Ely. We’re committed to providing great service and support at an affordable price.
We promise fair pricing, no yearly contracts, and no cancellation fees.
Unlike others “up to” internet speeds, we guarantee you’ll always receive at least the minimum speed of your service level.
Treehouse uses fixed wireless connections from towers to your house, using directional antennas. This results in actual speeds often 10x faster than DSL, at costs 10-100x cheaper than deploying fiber.
Much of Ely and the surrounding towns and lakes lack proper broadband internet access. Existing installed DSL technology is woefully outdated and oversubscribed, resulting in speeds far lower than advertised. The cost of rural fiber to the home is too high for private investment. Treehouse Broadband provides a better option through Fixed Wireless internet access.
Serving the City of Ely, shores of Shagawa, and surrounding areas with line of sight from a roof, hill, or pine to the Ely Water Tower. Join the waitlist to influence service expansion!
The Spiritwood “Forget Me Not” Foundation is Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease Through The Arts as a Non-Profit 501(c)(3)
In 2004 I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s following a very ‘long goodbye.’ We formed the Spiritwood Foundation to help others on a similar journey. Our mission is to raise not only awareness regarding Alzheimer’s Disease, but also critical funds that support community organizations, programs, and facilities working with victims and families dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The Foundation has many different fund-raising tools. One of them is a musical ‘happening’ we wrote called Remember When – The Songs Of the 60s and 70s. We perform this show in communities around the country involving local performers and musicians. Our Foundation then gifts the profits to the community for its specific Alzheimer’s needs.

“Untouched & Serene”…… These words are often used to describe Northern Minnesota. It’s what draws folks “Up North” and the crew of Low Impact Excavators is serious about keeping it that way. With over 31 years experience with heavy equipment, John Wavrin knows the damage excavating does to the land. He also knows it’s necessary when building a road, installing a septic system or even building a house. That’s why at Low Impact Excavators, John and his crew, leave “small footprints” removing only what is necessary-leaving the job site naturally landscaped, as close to original as possible.
