Below is an overview of Elbow Lake Lodge and our website for guests with limited internet access

 

Introduction

Elbow Lake Lodge is nestled between the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park. Located just 15 miles from Cook, MN, we are a gateway to Minnesota's Northern wilderness.

Enjoy one of Minnesota's pristine lakes nearly all to yourself. We are the only resort on Elbow Lake and enjoy a very small population of lake residents making Elbow Lake one of the most romantic, and private getaways in the state.

Elbow Lake Lodge is a member of the Lake Vermilion Resort Association (LVRA.) Our restaurant, marina, mini-golf and other services are open to all guests of other LVRA members.

Accomodations

Nine cabins are available seasonally and 6 suites are available year-round. "Fish Tales" our restaurant and "The Edge" mini-golf are open to the public seasonally. "Marketplace" is a coffee bar and general store located in our main lodge building. Marketplace offers a variety of simple meals, snacks and basic groceries and supplies. The marina at Elbow Lake Lodge provides, parking, storage, and basic boating and fishing supplies. The harbor is sheltered from large water and is staffed seasonally.

We proudly serve the areas around Cook, Tower, Orr, Crane Lake, Buyck, and Ely, MN. Any resident or guest staying on Pelican Lake, Lake Vermilion, Crane Lake, Echo Lake, or that area can easily drive to Elbow Lake.

Beach

We own one of the nicest beaches in Northern Minnesota. It is about 700 feet of fine sand that faces west to enjoy the afternoon sun and sunsets. This is a perfect place to swim. 120 feet from shore, the depth is 3 feet. You have to go over 200 feet out to get to a depth you can dive in. The shallow water and afternoon sun exposure lets us enjoy water temperatures much higher than you would find at other area resorts.
