Flashback Friday 📸

We want to start doing Flashback Fridays on here more regularly as we are learning so much about the rich history of Grey Wolf Lodge! We find it so intriguing, and we hope you do too.

Did you know that our iconic barn hasn't always sat where it does today? The original 1939 Takala Barn used to sit on top of the hill near the entrance to our resort. In 1999, the owners moved the barn to its current location and began renovating it throughout the early 2000s.

As the years have gone by, the barn has received various updates and special touches! Currently, it is home to our main office, The Lower Den (a two-bedroom apartment on the bottom), and The Wolf Den (a three-bedroom, multi-level apartment on top).

What kind of memories do you have of our iconic barn? We would love to hear your stories in the comments!

If you have any photos, memories, or stories to share about the history of the resort, feel free to send us a DM! We would love to hear more.

It is hard to believe how quickly the summer is flying by! We are still soaking up these beautiful sunsets over the lake as the days are slowly getting shorter and we head into the later part of the summer season. Hard to imagine it was just a few months back as we were opening this place up. Time flies as the season passes and we hope that all of our guests have had a fantastic summer!

Here's to a few more weeks of warmer days and enjoying the lake, fishing and everything Northern Minnesota has to offer during these summer months.

Yesterday, smoke drifted across Pelican Lake from the wildfires burning in northern Minnesota, reminding us just how devastating these fires have been for so many communities.

We have been incredibly fortunate that Grey Wolf Lodge has not been directly affected, and we are grateful to remain open and able to welcome guests. Our hearts are with our friends, fellow resort owners, businesses, and the entire community in Ely and the surrounding areas who are facing these challenging conditions.

We are deeply thankful to the firefighters, emergency responders, and support crews who have been working tirelessly around the clock to protect lives, homes, businesses, and our beautiful forests. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
