Take a break from
all the noise and hassle
of the city. Come and enjoy
the tranquil beauty and simple
pleasures of a vacation, or just a relaxing weekend, at the lake. Pack
up the family and
head out to rediscover all the
fun you can all have together.
At the Jolly Fisherman, our family wants you to have the best
vacation possible, Spring, Summer or Fall. Your Northern Minnesota
hosts are Anne, Donnie, Nathan, Erin and Jesse. |
All cabins are decorated with a north woods feel and come with a
microwave
oven, TV, refrigerator, stove and BBQ-grill. Free
wireless internet access is now available at the Lodge and some of our
cabins.
You and the kids will enjoy
fishing on 1,000
acres of Big Elbow Lake, one
of Minnesota's top 100 walleye lakes. Our lake is home to three pairs
of nesting Bald Eagles, Osprey, ten pairs of nesting Loons (quite
unusual!), and lots of other wildlife. |

If peace and quiet are what you're after, you may choose to stay put
here at the lodge. We specialize in relaxation, peace and family fun
(which is why we don't allow jet skis or pets). It's a great time for
the whole family and a perfect place for kids who never run out of
energy!
