The Kawishiwi Lakeview Cabin with Private Sauna

North Of North Resort is located on MN Highway 1, just 10 miles south of Ely. The resort is surrounded by the Superior National Forest wilderness and is approximately a mile from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Unlike many resorts in Ely or elsewhere in MN, North of North Resort is at the edge of one of the world’s largest dark sky sanctuaries, where you can view the northern lights and the Milky Way.

With no year-round neighbors and virtually no development around the property, this is a paradise for travelers looking for tranquility and a serene nature experience. One can do a day trip through the BWCA, starting and finishing at the resort, without the need for an overnight permit. On this end of Birch Lake you will experience the quiet and calm of the wilderness and hear loons, great horned owls, and wolves. Bear and Moose are frequently spotted around the resort and the International Wolf Center and Bear Center and just a short 10-minute drive from the resort.
