Just through this expanded view, is a private sandy beach and new dock on Moose Lake. Much more than a base camp, this top-of-the-line vacation home is on a motorized entry lake to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).

Welcoming guests for generations, first as the renowned Canadian Border Lodge, then as a premier Outfitter. 🍁

Today, the spirit of hospitality lives on through this luxuriously re-designed and private lodging option on the edge of 3,000,000 acres of rugged wilderness.

Every detail is a nod to the lifestyle, legacy and the awe-inspiring landscape around us. Follow Canadian Border Outpost as we recap the renovation of this historic resort property north of Ely, Minnesota.

“CBO Before” for those enjoying the progress!

These two hidden cabins along the shoreline are among the oldest on Moose Lake! Over the past few years, we have cleared access around their foundations, assessed their condition and made much needed improvements!

Did you ever stay in one of these cabins?

Few years and a fair amount of work in-between these! 📸

Private sandy beach and new dock from Ely's own Docks On Wheels. What an improvement!

Photos taken on the quiet southern bay of Moose Lake, site to the historic Canadian Border Lodge which operated in the early 1900s. The shoreline cabins pre-date Bob Cary’s purchase of the property in the 60s.

The former Outfitters' smallest cabin, closest to the lakeshore (usually referred to as Harry & Mary's) received a brand new roof right before this past snowfall! More improvements to come.

All of this clearing, has opened up PANORAMIC VIEWS from the fully renovated home, up on top! It's a sight to behold, now available for week long reservations starting Summer 2026!

High-end Northwoods' Getaway has direct BWCA access and accommodates 8 in expertly appointed 3bd/3ba home!
