Nice and quiet setting. Had several "regulars" that gave us a little tour and general housekeeping guidelines. Very friendly atmosphere. All your basics necessities to stay an extended period of time. Definitely will due it again.

Just what I needed. The lake is beautiful, the cabin is close to Ely and Bearhead SP. I came up to have peace in the wilderness and that’s exactly what I got. In the evenings, if I was feeling social, I joined the other guest and host Jay around the fire. Which I found myself looking forward to each night. I will be back!

It was exactly what we needed. No frills, just unplug and unwind. Plenty of nature’s beauty to enjoy to keep you busy. The wolf cabin is quiet, quaint, and secluded from the rest of the camp. Randy was welcoming and pleasant. It’s a bit on the rustic side as far as plumbing. That added to the charm and experience for us. The equipment that is offered is vast and well maintained.

The wolf cabin is our favorite!

My husband and I are huge fans of Wilderness Wind and have been coming here for several years. We particularly love staying in the Wolf cabin because it is slightly secluded and so cozy.. A wonderful vacation spot!

We love staying in the Wolf cabin because it is a little more isolated from the other cabins. It is so cute and has everything you could need for a cozy weekend in the wilderness! We always have a wonderful time with Jay who manages the property. Can't wait to come back next year!!

Relaxing!!!

Property was so simple and beautiful. A great alternative to camping for us in our 60's. Quiet, easy to find, close to the things we wanted to do yet in the outdoors. Biking and hiking were closeby with beautiful surroundings!!! Will recommend and likely stay again...

This property is exactly how it is presented in the write up. Rustic cabin on a beautiful lake.If you are the type that finds being a towel short at the Holiday Inn is roughing it; this is not for you. But if you enjoy being close to nature and not having the amenities that you would find at home, this is the place.The kitchen area was well stocked with cooking supplies, refrigerator ran cold (my baby carrots did freeze) and the bed was comfy. Wide selection of kayaks and canoes to borrow. They even have a paddle boat.Close to Ely, Minnesota and Tower, Mn so you had plenty of places to choose from to eat or to purchase your groceries.

Easy going weekend on the lake

Had a wonderful time staying in the wolf cabin. It had everything we needed and the cabin and bathrooms are incredibly clean. The property is simple and easy going. We had a wonderful time kayaking and canoeing on the lake. It’s exactly what we were looking for. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we hope to return next summer.

Rustic Ely getaway

This was such a wonderful property. Right on the shores of Lake Armstrong, there were canoes and a paddle boat available, life vests, and plenty of wood for the fire pit. While each cabin was separate and had plenty of peace and quiet there were also chances to sit around and laugh/talk with other guests. We had a great time and are looking forward to coming back!

Quiet and relaxing

The Wolf cabin was a delightful place to stay for some no tech time and relaxation. The manager Jay was terrific…very helpful. We loved the rustic look of the cabin. it was clean, comfortable, cozy, and a short distance from the shower room. We were able to bring our 10 year old dog with us too. The overall stay was perfect!

Beautiful, peaceful lakeshore resort! Jay was there to greet us and he even built a fire for us every night. No extra charge for the wood. Amenities include canoes, kayaks, and even a paddle boat! Life jackets are provided as well but I'd bring my own to ensure a good fit and comfort. We will return if we stay in the Ely area again!

Best Cabin Experience

I love staying at Wilderness Wind, and this stay was no different. For me, it's the perfect balance of rustic charm and convenience. I enjoy the electricity and stove in the cabin, but I also like the shared bathrooms and group campfire that give it a camp feel. I felt very safe as a solo traveler, and I had a good time trying out one of the kayaks that are available for guests.

We had a last minute change of plans and needed next day lodging. The Wolf Cabin fit the bill and then some. Has a wonderful community intention but if looking for solitude, that's available too. Jay could not have been nicer. Just a few things to note: the bed is noisy, the fridge was turned down before we arrived--turn to a 3 or 4 when you get there, it's well loved and lived in cabin. It is surprisingly well stocked! We would definitely return!

Our place was more than we expected, so many thoughtful little add-ons, it’s a beautiful lake and property. Our kids were camping near by at Bear Head State Park and got rained out. Jay learned of that and txt me to say they could stay in an extra space he had instead of their wet tent - which they did! Jay was so thoughtful and generous, we very much appreciated his gesture. Highly recommend Wilderness Wind and look forward to coming back.

The cabin was simply beautiful. Clean, equipped with a queen bed, propane stove with full oven. The mini fridge had a separate freezer. There was drinking water when we arrived. A sweet surprise was Jay calling and checking us in as we were on our way. Jay also had a fire our last evening which was a great way to visit. Friendly, respectful. Love Lulu as well. We will definitely be back. A little piece of heaven surrounded by calm vegetation and wildlife. You won’t regret it.

We enjoyed the quiet of the cabin, the spring flowers, the song birds, the morning call of the loons, hoot of the owl and a paddle on lake. Great for the soul!
