Bring the whole crew to The Fox! This spacious 3-bedroom cabin delivers the true "cabin in the woods" experience. Anchor your evenings by the cozy corner fireplace or sip coffee on the large deck while listening to the loons. With two Queen bedrooms and a third room packed with bunks, it sleeps up to 8 comfortably. Ideally located for lake fun, it’s the perfect spot for family memories and outdoor adventure. The space About Timber Bay Lodge Timber Bay Lodge is more than just a place to sleep; it is a 20-acre playground nestled in the heart of the Superior National Forest. We are located directly on Birch Lake, offering you immediate access to some of the best fishing and boating in Minnesota. Amenities & Activities Full-Service Marina: We are the only full-service marina on Birch Lake, offering boat and motor rentals, pontoon rentals, premium gas, and live bait. The Beach: Our large, sandy swimming beach is the summer hub. It features a water slide, a floating raft, and inner tubes for lazy afternoons in the water. Sports & Recreation: Challenge your family on our lighted SportCourt (basketball and pickleball), or enjoy our lawn game area featuring shuffleboard, bocce ball, archery, cornhole, and horseshoes. For the Kids: In the summer (Mon-Fri), our "Kids Club" offers organized activities, crafts, and nature hikes to keep the little ones entertained while parents relax. Relaxation: Unwind in our authentic Pump House Sauna or explore the hiking and biking trails that wind through our private forest and connect to hundreds of acres of public land. Pet Friendly: We love dogs! Your furry friends are welcome to join you (leash policies apply). Guest access You have access to the entire resort property 24 hours a day. Whether you want to take a midnight stroll down to the docks to look at the stars or get an early start on the fishing opener, the grounds are yours to enjoy. Check-in & The Trading Post Our main hub is The Trading Post, which is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This is where you will handle your in-person check-in and check-out. It’s also the spot to grab forgotten essentials, schedule boat rentals, or just stop by for a chat. Other things to note We are located just a short 15-20 minute drive from the charming town of Ely, Minnesota. Known as the "Canoe Capital of the World," Ely is the primary gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). Because of our close proximity, you have easy access to world-class outfitting and services. Ely is home to famous outfitters (like Piragis Northwoods Company) where you can gear up for day trips or buy top-tier outdoor equipment. The town is also bustling with unique boutiques, art galleries, and great local restaurants. If you are looking for education and adventure, you are minutes away from major attractions like the International Wolf Center and the North American Bear Center. Staying at Timber Bay gives you the best of both worlds: the seclusion of a private cabin on Birch Lake, with the bustling trail-head energy of Ely just down the road.
