About this cabin rental
We are asking our guests to bring their own sheets and pillow cases. Thank you for your understanding.
Bear Cabin at Wilderness Wind offers a lovely respite for a romantic getaway or a fun location for a family vacation close to nature. Bear Cabin is a historic rustic log cabin with two bedrooms (separated by a curtained doorway in a less than roof-height wall), a kitchen, a dining area, an enclosed porch that faces west toward the lake for sunset viewing. The kitchen has a water cooler to be filled from outdoor spigot, a refrigerator, a stove, microwave oven and coffeemaker. The nearby bath house has hot showers, lavatory sinks, and latrine toilets. Guests can use the on site canoes and kayaks to paddle beautiful Lake Armstrong. The gravel beach offers swimming in view of ample lakeside seating for family gathering. Guests can gather around the lakeshore firepit for a bonfire after enjoying the sunset over the lake.
Day trips to nearby Boundary Waters, hiking or biking on the Mesabi trail, all the amenities of shopping and sightseeing in and around nearby Ely can be enjoyed with this cabin as a base.
This cabin is owned and operated by Chicago Voyagers to benefit their objectives of offering outdoor programs such as biking, hiking, climbing, cross country skiing, and paddling to youth that might not otherwise have access to such activities. Getting youth out in nature is important, but the programs also strive to build self-confidence and specifically teach leadership and teamwork skills.

Wonderful stay at Wilderness Wind!

We spent 6 days at the cabin and resort for a family vacation. Communication from Jay the manager was excellent and he was on site often to check in. The cabin is definitely small and rustic as listed, the shared bathroom house and showers were near the cabin and clean and well appointed(shampoo, soap, towels) all available. The lake was very clean and quiet, with not much boat traffic at all, which made kayaking and swimming nice. Fishing was great, a lot of nice bass, pike, and some panfish. Their was a huge community deck with grill and supplies that was great to use, however it could have been cleaned as it was somewhat neglected. The location was great as it's close to Ely, Tower, and BWCA. We didn't go to BWCA but did some day trips to Bear Head state Park (very nice lake) and hiking trails to nearby waterfalls and lakes. Cabin does not have interior doors on bedrooms, but use curtains between so privacy is minimal, doorways are low, this could have been more clear in description but it was functional for us. Overall, a great place for the price and wonderful to relax, fish, swim, and checkout local sights, paddling, biking, etc.

We love Wilderness Wind so much! Summer is simply not complete without at least one visit here. The cabins are adorable, the company is wonderful and of course the scenery. My husband and stepson love the fishing of course, and I just enjoy reading my book listening to the wind in the trees. I heartily recommend to anyone!

Communication about the property expectations was more modern than the very rustic cabin and bathhouse. The old fashioned outhouse was not what I expected. The lack of technology was fine. For over two hundred a night I expected clean sheets and a little more fit and finish. The advertising is outstanding and I really support the cause but was disappointed when the cabin was over 85 degrees and only two or three windows opened
