For the past 8 years, we have chosen Timber Trail Lodge as the location for our week long Retreat for Women. Our experience at Timber Trail has been exceptional in every way. We stay in the Evergreen & Diamond Willow cabins and love their comfortable & cozy atmosphere, fireplaces in each cabin & fully equipped modern kitchens. Another plus for... More

This place "rocks"! ... in a quiet way. Right next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. More water to paddle on in a lifetime, right from your cabin. The cabins are spotless, the kitchen in Evergreen is big enough to cook a dinner for twenty & I should know I was the cook du jour for the week. The... More

We stayed in the Evergreen cabin and it was great. Its was big, clean, and comfortable with one bedroom upstairs with one bed and two bedrooms downstairs, one with two sets of bunk beds and the other with a queen and a single. You have your own dock and campfire area, and a nice size deck. The large kitchen was... More

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We rented a kitchenette and it was perfect for us. The room was very clean and we liked being able to cook our own meals. We used Timber Trail to rent canoes and gear for a 3-day trip into the Boundary Waters. All the gear was in great shape and the... More

We stayed in one of their kitchenette rooms. That's what we like, a stove w/oven, microwave, small fridge, and good TV. The price was excellent. Farm Lake is beautiful, a very peaceful place on the edge of nowhere. Everyone was very friendly and the location was good for us. Far enough from the hustle and bustle of a Labor Day... More

We just got back from another great vacation to Timber Trail Lodge. This family run resort is super, and all the help couldn't be nicer. It's clean, all the amenities we could want, and the family/staff really goes out of their way to make your stay a memorable one! We've enjoyed it many times (6 or 7) and we will... More

Located on Farm Lake, this family resort is where we stay when picking up the kids from summer camps in or near Ely (or spending time between sessions). The cabins are nice & clean, though the bedrooms in some cabins can be a tad tight for two. Service is both cheerful & helpful (once, when stranded by high wind up... More

We found Timber Trail Lodge to be a very clean, friendly place to stay. The owners and staff are friendly, and always available, to make sure our stay was enjoyable. It is one of the few true family run lodges , and that seems to always be a plus. Nice beach, nice clean cabins, with several new cabins, and a... More

We stayed here for three days in late May and found the website to be a bit deceptive as to what we found when we arrived. The cabin photo makes it appear to be secluded when really it has two cabins on each side of it within about 30 feet. According to the site, "the modernized kitchen has all new... More
