About this property

Moose Cabin at Wilderness Wind near Armstrong Lake near Ely, MN

  • We are asking our guests to bring their own sheets and pillow cases. Thank you for your understanding.



    Moose cabin is a rustic log cabin with a kitchen with a water cooler to be filled from outdoor spigot, a dining area, a bedroom with a queen size bed and two twin beds in an enclosed sleeping porch and a nearby bathhouse with hot showers, lavatory sinks, and latrine toilets. Armstrong Lake is west of the cabins and therefore offers nightly sunset viewing at lakeside seating with a firepit for bonfires. Canoes and kayaks are available for use on the lake. A gravel swim beach near the ample lakeside seating provides fun family gathering. Nearby attractions include Wolf and Bear Centers, a mining museum, day canoe trips in the Boundary Waters, hiking or biking on nearby Mesabi Trail, and shopping for gear, apparel or local art in Ely.

Perfect

It was just as advertised, and better than expected. Host Jay was great, and the amenities like canoes, kayaks, and fishing gear (including the bait), free to use is terrific.

6th Annual Girls Trip!!

Myself and three girlfriends enjoyed our 6th annual Wilderness Wind Trip. Every year we are welcomed and we have the greatest time. The views, the nature, the fishing, the cabins, they company of other guests. The overall simplicity of this resort, and the host. Jay, makes it always so enjoyable. We are planning on being lifetime guests!!

Comfy Cabin

We had a wonderful stay in the Moose cabin. The cabin was airy and oh so comfortable. It was so helpful to have the kitchen for preparing meals. It is a quick walk to the dishwashing sink and the bathhouse, all of which is well maintained. Waking up early and taking a quick paddle on the lake was such a treat. We highly recommend booking a cabin at Wilderness Wind.

5th annual girls trip!

This was our 5th year to Wilderness Wind and it was absolutely beautiful and amazing as per usual. Jay is awesome and Lulu is a great greeter! We stayed in Moose and loved every minute. Everything was clean and organized. We leave little trinkets hidden in the cabin every year, it's fun to see them moved to different spots☺️. We will definitely be back next year!!

First family vacation

We picked this location as it had everything and reasonably priced. It was my hubby, daughter(17) 2 pugs and myself. The moose is a great cabin for this amount of people. It was so peaceful and perfect. Smaller resort and only one other cabin with 2 lovely ladies was there. Such a great experience. Great host! Jay came by and sat by the fire and chatted with us. With every penny!

Third time coming to Wilderness Wind, so relaxing and such a beautiful, clear and quite lake. We loved just relaxing by and in the water all day. It was great to have the canoes and kayaks availabe for use. Jay is a wonderful host, so friendly and welcoming! We will be back again!

We had a wonderful stay. A charming little cabin for our family of 5 (4 year old slept on a mattress we brought). The highlight was kayaking at sunset and listening to the loons. I missed the detail about bringing our own bedsheets but Jay was so kind about it and brought us some extras he had. Would love to stay again!

The focus is the outdoors

The cabin is a place to sleep, eat & cook and it did its job spectacularly. Plenty of room for 3 people, a little tight with 4 - but workable.
