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.

Beautiful, peaceful lakeshore resort! Jay was there to greet us and he even built a fire for us every night. No extra charge for the wood. Amenities include canoes, kayaks, and even a paddle boat! Life jackets are provided as well but I'd bring my own to ensure a good fit and comfort. We will return if we stay in the Ely area again!

We love staying in the Wolf cabin because it is a little more isolated from the other cabins. It is so cute and has everything you could need for a cozy weekend in the wilderness! We always have a wonderful time with Jay who manages the property. Can't wait to come back next year!!

We had a last minute change of plans and needed next day lodging. The Wolf Cabin fit the bill and then some. Has a wonderful community intention but if looking for solitude, that's available too. Jay could not have been nicer. Just a few things to note: the bed is noisy, the fridge was turned down before we arrived--turn to a 3 or 4 when you get there, it's well loved and lived in cabin. It is surprisingly well stocked! We would definitely return!

The cabin was simply beautiful. Clean, equipped with a queen bed, propane stove with full oven. The mini fridge had a separate freezer. There was drinking water when we arrived. A sweet surprise was Jay calling and checking us in as we were on our way. Jay also had a fire our last evening which was a great way to visit. Friendly, respectful. Love Lulu as well. We will definitely be back. A little piece of heaven surrounded by calm vegetation and wildlife. You won’t regret it.

Easy going weekend on the lake

Had a wonderful time staying in the wolf cabin. It had everything we needed and the cabin and bathrooms are incredibly clean. The property is simple and easy going. We had a wonderful time kayaking and canoeing on the lake. It’s exactly what we were looking for. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we hope to return next summer.

Rustic Ely getaway

This was such a wonderful property. Right on the shores of Lake Armstrong, there were canoes and a paddle boat available, life vests, and plenty of wood for the fire pit. While each cabin was separate and had plenty of peace and quiet there were also chances to sit around and laugh/talk with other guests. We had a great time and are looking forward to coming back!

Best Cabin Experience

I love staying at Wilderness Wind, and this stay was no different. For me, it's the perfect balance of rustic charm and convenience. I enjoy the electricity and stove in the cabin, but I also like the shared bathrooms and group campfire that give it a camp feel. I felt very safe as a solo traveler, and I had a good time trying out one of the kayaks that are available for guests.

Relaxing!!!

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!

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.
