It was absolutely amazing from the second we pulled up. Everyone was so friendly and the pictures do not do the place justice. Even with breaking my wrist, I still had an amazing time! Big perk is use of equipment is included! They provided wood, kayak, paddle boat, life jackets! Oh and we also over packed! Kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, towels, cleanings supplies.... everything! Beds have pillows and blankets, just bring sheets and cases and maybe a couple extra blankets. Again, pictures do not do this place justice. The lake is 20 feet from your front door!
What a great location! Located on the east end of the lake with a beautiful sunset view and the winds blowing in our screened in windows we got plenty of fresh air and lake views. The hospitality was top notch and the cabin was everything it needed to be. Simple accommodations but comfortable and clean. Jay and Lulu were the best hosts and daily made sure we had everything we needed!
Give stats! Awesome little cabin. Great amenities. You can not beat free firewood and canoes/kayaks for guests use! Our host was kind and very welcoming. The views are idealistic and the loons were an incredible bonus! We had a chance to meet other guests and even made new friends. We'll be back next year!
The perfect family get away! Short drive to Ely, and other small towns. We had a wonderful time swimming in the lake and using the kayaks, canoes, and paddle board. We did not want to leave! Definitely would come back!
If you are looking for a great place to unplug, relax with the sounds of the loons, this is the place for you. Our second time there and wonât be the last.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Loon Cabin. It was perfect for what we needed. The area is close to the cute town of Ely. We love that it was right on the water. The beds were very comforable and we slept very well. The communication with the property manager was great. I would highly recommend and we hope to stay there again.
The rustic Loon Cabin was perfect for the three of us. It was easy to find. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was cute and functional. Being close to the water was extra nice to view sunsets and enjoyed the breeze. We were pleasantly surprised by the cuteness of the cabin. The bath house was very clean and well kept. The location of the cabin was about 10 miles to Ely, and about 5-10 miles to two MN State Parks. We look forward to staying here again.
We loved our stay in The Loon at Wilderness Wind. We were able to enjoy quiet and beautiful surroundings looking out at Lake Armstrong even on our rain day. The night sky was spectacular. There are many amenities including grill, fire ring, canoes, kayaks and paddleboat. Communication with Jay, host, was excellent and he is such a welcoming person. The cabins are rustic with no bath but bathhouse with toilet and shower were nearby. We will be back for a longer time next time.
My husband and I celebrated our 47 wedding anniversary on the dock of Wilderness Wind. It was a beautiful spot to have a getaway with close family. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, seeing the loons and much more! We toured the mine in Soudan as well, and that was very fun! Would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a cabin/woodsy/up north getaway.
Wonderful, peaceful location. Jay was very friendly and helpful, and the facilities were just as described on the web page. My stay was all Iâd hoped for and more. Iâll be back.
We had a great time staying at Loon Cabin on Armstrong Lake. The lake is quite shallow for a long way out on the shore, which was great for swimming. Jay was a welcoming host, and the property was well maintained with lots of thoughtful amenities. Be sure to take a look around and make yourself at home. The community pavilion has all sorts of useful supplies to make your stay even more enjoyable. We'll be back!
No better place for our honeymoon!! We truly enjoyed our stay. This was our second time at Wilderness Wind and the Loon Cabin. We are planning to make WW/Loon an annual tradition!
Wilderness Wind reminded me of a camp-experience without all the hoopla. The cabin was simple yet enough to cook good food and escape the bugs (it's June in Ely). The bathhouse was clean and only a few steps away from anywhere on site. The setting was quiet with beautiful sunset views. Jay and the team were friendly and helpful. We plan to return next year, hopefully for a longer visit!
Very peaceful, great location, nice beach, and Good fishing.
Communication with the property manager was excellent. Very nice guy, extremely accommodating and very helpful. The fact that the bathrooms are located closely on the property, and water is supplied in abundance allowed us to stay for a week comfortably and enjoy an experience without all the typical amenities was a perfect experience for me and my 10 year old. Very much enjoyed the peace ans quiet. Easy access to kayaks, life jackets, and other extras was nice. We would come back to this resort and would recommend it.
Thanks for your hospitality.
