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 wonāt 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 Iād hoped for and more. Iāll 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!
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.
No staff present; never met anyone; description of cabin failed to mention there was no running water and no bathroom (nearest public bathhouse was 50 yards away); not even bed linens
Beautiful scenery... Relaxing stay. Would have liked a few more kitchen amenities and a comfortable chair it couch to relax indoors. Staff were very responsive and helpful. We will be back.
We stayed in the Loon Cabin and everything was cozy and tidy with so many things provided, super convenient. Right from the start our host Jay was fantastic! He made us feel so welcome and let us know where everything was located at the resort, and asked us to let him know if we needed anything at all. He even built a bonfire down by the lake each night where there were comfortable chairs around it for everyone to enjoy. We have two college age kids that came with us, and they loved the peaceful getaway right on the lake. The canoeing and kayaking were great, and watching the sunset while listening to the loons call was perfect! We will definitely stay again!
