Eagle Yurt at Wilderness Wind, Ely, MN with 3 bedrooms and full kitchen

Wonderful, rustic, very clean with friendly and helpful staff. Surrounded by raspberry and elderberry plants, probably ready to pick late July. Quiet, peaceful, with bushes n trees providing a bit of privacy. Very clean bathhouse. Jay was great.

Yurt is great!! Beautiful place

We always wanted to stay in a yurt. This place was great! I'm only taking one star off because it didn't have a bathroom, but that was communicated clearly up front so I have no issues with that. The price just seems too high for a place without running water or a toilet. Otherwise it was gorgeous. The owner came by and chatted and set up a fire by the lake for everyone to use. There were kayaks and a paddle boat to use plus a dock for fishing. The place was clean and just as described. I really liked it. It was super quiet and had nice dark skies.

Excellent location for fishing different lakes each day. Armstrong is a great Bass lake. The camp host - Jay was very accommodating and was knowledgeable of the fishing on the other lakes nearby. We had a great week. We would highly recommend Wilderness Wind to anyone that likes the outdoor adventure. Thanks, 5 Guys from Topeka, Kansas

We had a great time at Wilderness Wind. The yurt is fantastic and spacious. Jay and Sammy were great hosts. It was a wonderful base for hiking and exploring. One of our best northern MN experiences ever!

A unique and lovely place to stay in a gorgeous setting. Jay is wonderful. Made for an easy and memorable vacation. We are grateful!

We had an amazing time at this property. Its location is really great because you're only about 10 minutes away from town if you need anything but once you're on the property you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The yurt can get hot midday, but hopefully you're not spending your time inside and are out enjoying nature. There is an air conditioner in the yurt in case you do need to spend some time inside during the middle of the day. There are also flaps on the outside of the yurt that you can lift up during the day for more ventilation. Our favorite part was the chickadee gathering space with the adjacent deck which has a gas barbecue grill and a Blackstone flat top that you can use to cook outsides as well as dining tables and chairs. The chickadee building also has anything you need that might not be in the yurt. We also loved having access to the canoes and kayaks to be able to go out on the lake anytime we wanted. Kids were able to play on the beach and the adults were able to make use of the chairs around the fire ring during the day and evening. Overall a great time and would definitely recommend staying this property.

Great WE LOVE IT

My friends and I had a nice stay.

We were looking for unique lodging near the boundary waters. The Eagle Yurt delivered. Pur kids love it. Jay was very accomodating and helpful. We had a great time.

This was our second summer trip to Wildnerness Wind because we were drawn back to our host Jay and his property for the awesome fishing, kayaking and ease of stay. The cabins on Lake Armstrong have all the amenities you would need on short notice. Definitely need bugspray, but as expected for an up north summer vacation spot. We had a lovely time with family and the YURT was a great space to hangout and relax. Our younger aged kids (5-13) loved just hanging out in there playing games to break up the time from fishing and sun. Would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an easy getaway. Family friendly and (small dog) friendly too. Will be back!

The communication prior to arrival was awesome and Jay helped us with our reservations even. The resort had everything we needed and was perfect for our young girls to explore. They played in the sand, went fishing, and played with other kids that were staying in the cabins. Definitely planning to be back!
