Grey Wolf Lodge on Pelican Lake, Orr MN

09/25/2026

We’ve had a few rainy and cloudy days, but the fall colors are really starting to pop 🍂🍁

The Northwoods shows off this time of year and we are thoroughly enjoying it. There is something special about the quiet cool days with the leaves falling around us.

Flashback Friday 📸

Did you know that Grey Wolf Lodge hasn't always gone by the same name? Back in 1996, owners Rob & Joanne officially renamed Lakeside Farm Resort to what we all know today as Grey Wolf Lodge!

We even have an original sign hanging from the barn as a nod to our history here at the resort.

Check out this vintage postcard titled "A View of Pelican Lake at Lakeside Farm Resort, Orr, Minn." taken near the top of the hill looking out over the water.

Do you remember the days when it was still Lakeside Farm Resort? If you’ve been visiting us for a while, drop a comment below with your favorite memory from back in the day!

Fall has arrived at Pelican Lake! The leaves are beginning to show their colors, the days are getting shorter, and fall fishing is officially in full swing. 🍂

The Bass and Northern Pike action has been incredible lately. Just check out these two huge Largemouth Bass and this impressive 30-inch Northern Pike that our first-time guests, Steve & Deb, reeled in on their very first trip to Pelican Lake! 🎣

We couldn’t be happier for them and what a way to welcomed to the lake! Wishing all our guests a fantastic week on the water.

Do you have any impressive fish from the last few weeks? Drop your photo in the comments!

Wishing everybody a happy Labor Day weekend!

Whether you have big plans on the lake with family and friends, or you are taking the weekend to relax before the kids go back to school we fully hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We are excited for our last few weeks of the season with some good fall fishing up here, but we are already missing the summer days. From the Grey Wolf Lodge team, thank you for an incredible summer!

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.
