Overview
Premiere Log Cabins in the Remote BWCA wilderness
Established in 1937, the Lodge of Whispering Pines is a eco-friendly, off grid Resort located North of Ely on Big Lake, a DNR managed Walleye fishery where families and friends have been gathering for decades. Whether you come to enjoy the beautiful sandy beach, log cabins, great fishing or planning on day trips into the BWCA, we have it covered.
We are perfectly located for trips into the BWCA and are just a few miles from the Stuart, Moose/Portage River, Big Lake, Little Indian Sioux and Angleworm/South Hegman. As new owners we will continue to offer partial outfitting to the public and assist guests with day trip planning into the wilderness that surrounds our beautiful lodge.
Our unique Historic Log Lodge is a favorite rental for large groups and the amenities are all there for your trip. As one of Minnesota’s most remote lodges, our guests enjoy a link with nature unequaled in other parts of the state. Top fishing and premiere log cabins are a mainstay and our cozy 6 spot campground is just right for tents and smaller rv camping. If you're just beginning on new adventures or are a seasoned wilderness enthusiast, call us today and find out more!
See You On The Dock!
