We enjoyed our weekend trip and staying here! We stayed in the Moose cabin and I would say it was cuter than the photos! Basic cabin but well stocked and clean. We were also happy that we could bring our dog. Communication with the host was easy. Easy drive to Ely and Bearhead State Park. We would stay here again.

Dude! This place is absolutely fantastic. I dig the vibe and the community atmosphere. We met quite a few really cool people, canoed the lake, and just really enjoyed the rustic nature of the place. Thanks for the exceptional hospitality!!!

We had a wonderful stay. A charming little cabin for our family of 5 (4 year old slept on a mattress we brought). The highlight was kayaking at sunset and listening to the loons. I missed the detail about bringing our own bedsheets but Jay was so kind about it and brought us some extras he had. Would love to stay again!

The ideal getaway!

I absolutely LOVE Wilderness Wind, which was introduced to me by my partner. The cabins are rustic, the lake is beautiful and the people, are all so warm and welcoming. Definitely worth the trip from the city!

Perfect

It was just as advertised, and better than expected. Host Jay was great, and the amenities like canoes, kayaks, and fishing gear (including the bait), free to use is terrific.
