Timber Bay Lodge & Houseboats

Immerse yourself in one of the most stunning get-aways in the country.

Lodging

Deep in the Superior National Forest, where the road ends and the water begins, you’ll find Timber Bay.

We are the intersection of rugged adventure and refined comfort. Situated on the pristine shores of Birch Lake, we offer the only hybrid vacation experience in the region: choose the grounded tradition of our traditional log cabins and private lodges or the mobile freedom of our fully-equipped houseboats.

Whether you are here to map structure for trophy Walleye and Northern Pike, paddle the silent edge of the Boundary Waters, or simply trade screen time for the warmth of a crackling fire and the smell of pine, Timber Bay is your basecamp.

Just minutes from the outfitters of Ely and the trails of Babbitt, yet entirely secluded, we are “Accessible Wilderness.”

Come for the fishing, stay for the solitude, and leave with a family tradition that will last generations.
