Wolf Cabin at Wilderness Wind, Ely, MN

We are asking our guests to bring their own sheets and pillow cases. Thank you for your understanding.


Wolf Cabin is Wilderness Wind's smallest and most secluded cabin near the shore of Armstrong Lake. This adorable one bedroom cabin with kitchenette and kitchen table is at the end of the road and is quiet and private but has access to all the amenities of the Wilderness Wind resort. The kitchen sink has a water cooler to be filled from outdoor spigot and a half refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave. Hot showers, lavatory sinks, and latrine toilets are a short walk though lovely birch woods, in the bathhouse. Down the grassy path in front is the swimming area with lakeside seating for sunset viewing, access to canoes and kayaks, and a fire pit for bonfires. This cabin is a special intimate place for a couple looking for a romantic getaway from which to base hiking and biking on the Mesabi Trail and day trip canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Shopping for apparel, outdoor gear, and local art can be found in Ely as well as some really fine quality dining experiences. Want to get away alone and get in touch with nature and your quiet side? This a great solo cabin for journaling, photography day trips, working on art or planning projects, catching up on your reading, or just plain relaxing in a beautiful natural setting.

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...

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!

Rustic lakeside retreat
We wanted a quick midweek getaway to the northwoods & Wilderness Wind was the perfect spot. There was a snafu with the cabin we rented but Jay was available by phone & we got settled in the Loon cabin instead. Lots of amenities like kayaks, canoes, firewood and fishing poles. We had a super relaxing & quiet time!

Friendly
the host checked in prior to our arrival to go over check in details. He was very friendly and checked to make sure we had everything we needed on a daily basis. The cabin is rustic and still had everything we needed for utensils. Remember to bring extra blankets, sheets and pillow cases. We had a great relaxing time and would make this an annual trip.

Great get-away from the bustle of the metro, daily life, and work.
The Wolf Cabin was exactly what we were looking for in our stay in Ely...simplistic beauty surrounded by nature. We swam, kayaked, fished, ran, read, sat by a gorgeous campfire at night and took in the brilliant night sky, and enjoyed the sunshine and dry air. Perfect get-away for a no-fuss, relaxing vacation. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!!

Cozy Getaway.
My wife and I just got back from a 3-day stay at the Wolf Cabin and had a great time. The cabin is small, but just fine for a couple - we would've been just fine here for a longer stay, but could only stay for 3 days. Everything you need is in the cabin. Kitchen was well-stocked and what wasn't in the kitchen could be found in the main communal cabin. The lake is amazing! We were in 3 times a day. The Wolf Cabin is the most intimate and secluded of the cabins and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommended! We'll be back for sure!

Dreams come true
We hoped to catch fish and have some adventures. We did that and more. We loved wolf cabin, enjoyed using the canoe on and off property. Jay was the perfect host, advising us on fishing and adventures and provided a loaner rod when I broke my garage sale version on a 16 inch bass the first day. So glad we chose wilderness wind as our first taste of boundary waters.

Definitely rustic
Just a few steps above camping, but cabins were nice, staff friendly, beautiful area. Negatives: bathhouse garbage often overflowing with lack of paper products. And, unruly dogs running amok. Caretaker's dog bit a friend's shirt, while she was wearing it.

Wilderness Wind is a hidden gem in the Ely area. The solitude, lake and congeniality of staff create an environment which is hard to leave. The cabin was equipped with everything needed for our temporary 'home away from home'! If decompression is what you're looking for, this is the place!

Made to feel like family
Wilderness Wind welcomed us warmly from the moment we arrived. Jay and Dan, the on-property hosts during our stay, are so very gracious - sincerely interested in knowing us, made us comfortable, ensured we had all we needed for a truly memorable stay. Our privacy was respected when we wanted that; we were also readily welcomed as friends by all guests and the hosts. The community bonfire is an amazing event with easy laughter where each person's daily adventures were celebrated. Access to the boats, canoes, kayaks was a cinch with everything we needed - whether to paddle or to catch our limit of fish each time we went on the water. The cabin was the perfect rustic hide-away from our normal lifestyle: clean, woodsy, warm blankets for cold nights, the kitchen is well stocked. We will be back next season with our entire family.
