Northwoods Cabin with Expansive Moose Lake Views and Direct BWCAW Access

Stay at one of Ely’s few cabin resorts located directly on a Boundary Waters entry lake. From our docks on Moose Lake—Entry Point 25—you can paddle or boat directly into the BWCAW without driving or shuttling to another launch.

Perched atop one of the highest points on our property, Kirk’s Cabin offers an expansive view across Moose Lake toward the Boundary Waters wilderness. Distinctive windows, beautiful custom woodwork, a fireplace and screened porches give the cabin plenty of traditional Northwoods character while making the most of its remarkable setting.

Kirk’s sleeps up to six guests in three private bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen bed, while the other two each have two twin beds. The cabin also includes a bathroom, comfortable living and dining areas, and a full kitchen equipped with a range, microwave, toaster, cookware, dishes and silverware. Satellite internet is available with generator backup.

Kirk’s sits above the shoreline rather than directly at the water. Guests can walk or make the short two-minute drive down the resort driveway to our shared central waterfront. There you’ll find multiple docks, a boathouse, fish-cleaning house, and boat and canoe area.

Stays of seven nights or longer include use of a 16-foot Lund fishing boat and canoe at no additional charge. The boat has a floor and swivel seats. A motor is not included, but motors are available to rent separately.

Moose Lake offers excellent fishing and direct access to the Moose–Newfound–Sucker lake chain and the Boundary Waters beyond. Guests can enjoy everything from a quiet morning paddle to a full day exploring the BWCAW. Nearby hiking options include the Secret/Blackstone trails and Kawishiwi Falls, along with many other routes through the Superior National Forest.

After a day of fishing, paddling or hiking, return to the screened porch to enjoy the fresh air, listen for loons and watch the changing light over Moose Lake.

Kirk’s is a traditional Northwoods cabin and does not have air conditioning. It is pet-friendly and makes a comfortable home base for families, anglers and outdoor travelers who want convenient wilderness access without giving up a full kitchen, comfortable beds and reliable internet.

Bed linens, cookware, dishes and standard kitchen equipment are provided. Guests should bring bath and kitchen towels, food, personal items and charcoal for the grill.

Most summer reservations run Saturday to Saturday. Shorter or more flexible stays may be available depending on the season.
