My husband and I made a trip to Ely MN in the month of August and we had a great stay at Timber Trail Lodge. The rooms were very cozy and rustic. The lodge was located very close to major attractions like International Wolf center, National Bear Center, Kawishiwi Falls and Ely downtown. Since we stayed in a motel room... more

Family-like atmosphere. The Forsberg family make you feel welcome. Rustic yet well-kept cabin we stayed in was fifty feet from the water. The fishing was GREAT. Timber Trail provided us with a great boat, plenty of bait and a nice place to relax for a week. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Guide service was exceptional. We... more

My wife and I stayed at Timber Trail Lodge and really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and great facility. The location is on a nice quiet lake with direct access to the BWCA through South Farm Lake or the Kiwishiwi River. The staff was friendly and helpful and the cabin was clean. Would stay here again. more

Our family has been coming to Ely on vacations for more than 12 years. We stayed at three different resorts and a major hotel in Ely until eight years ago when a local resident suggested we try the Timber Trail Lodge. That was the best recommendation ever. Now we stay at the Timber Trail Lodge during every visit to Ely.... more

Would never stay here again. Made you feel like you were an inconvenience from the moment you stepped onto the property. Very unhelpful and to be honest...rude. more

Management response from
TimberTrail, Owner

As regards the review "Horrible Service" we as the owners question wheather this individual and their family were ever physically at our resort. We believe this review is in response to a phone conversation with a person we elected to hang up on, and with whom we chose not to continue the conversation due to comments that were being made.

As a family, we stayed 2 weeks at Timber Trail Lodge, and had a great time. Not only is the Ely area beautiful, it is blessed with so many nice people. The owners and staff at Timber Trail was great, making sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and expected. They are very professional, but very down to earth,... more

Love Ely
