Loon Cabin at Wilderness Wind, Ely, Mn

Loon Cabin at Wilderness Wind, Ely, Mn

10/10 Excellent
"This was my second time at this location, and it is always amazing! I am typically a camp in a tent kind of girl and I just loved this. Right on the water, my own mini kitchen, kayaks and canons provided as well as life jackets. Some people might not be a fan of not having a bathroom in each cabin and having a shared space, but the bathrooms are clean and are kept up and well stocked. The host is wonderful as well. Thank you for the amazing vacation!"

8/10 Good
"The place was very nice and clean, but my room was very very tiny. It would be a okay room for one person but you would not want to put two people in their. Still it was a very friendly place and Shauna who I think is the owner was very helpful. Expedia screwed up my brothers reservation and I had to find him a place at another hotel and Shauna was a big help in accommodating our needs there. I would stay at the canoe on in again if I were by myself. Although I will say Shauna told me that they had much bigger rooms in their other building across the street."
