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. Thank you for supporting Chicago Voyagers with your stay at Bear Cabin!
Amazing
Very nice rustic cabin. Jay was a great host.
Very nice to have access to canoes and paddle boat plus firewood for the campfire. Very rustic cabins that take you back in time
Felt very welcome and at home right away. Jay was awesome. Lots of inside info. And so cool that the resort helps support the Chicago Voyaguers. Loved being so close to the lake with the evening sun and Jay even set a fire for us by the lake to roast s’mores. Such a wonderful overall up north experience. Even went for a brief swim. Learned a lot about the fish in the lake as well and local fishing lakes.
As described- rustic cabin with a shared bathroom/ shower house. Nothing fancy but all we needed for a nice long weekend away. Beautiful lake and close access to the town of Ely. The host, Jay was so kind and went above and beyond to make our stay even better. We’ll be back!
The cabin was well thought out with a beautiful view. The resort had us covered for anything we needed and in general had thought about everything that could make your experience great. Jay is such a great host and person!
Loved the view from the cabin. My friend loved taking the kayak and canoe out on the lake!
Very nice rustic cabin, beds comfy, beautiful view of the lake with kayaks & canoes to use for no extra fees. Host Jay was an awesome host & very knowledgeable of the area. Thanks so much!
What a wonderful place to stay! Our host was so nice and there was so much to offer. Thank you!
We have always loved Armstrong Lake and the Ely area.
I spent three relaxing nights here and it was truly the perfect spot. The cabin was adorable, the lake was beautiful, and the camp host was delightful and so helpful. It was fun to chat with the other campers and also enjoy some quiet reading time. Highly recommend.
