Paul Bunyan's Guest House

When we got to the resort and went down to the office where Paul Bunyan's Guest house should have been, a new very modern-looking building was in its place. Nobody was available at the office to discuss, and we noticed several tarps over the roofs of other cabins, so I think it might have been damaged enough they had to tear it down.

The guest house, in the shape of a big stump with an accompanying giant ax, was torn down in Spring 2025.

Tree Stump Cabin

At the Northland Lodge near Walker on Leech Lake, guests can stay in a giant tree-stump-shaped cabin known as the Paul Bunyan's Guest House. Paul's giant axe leans on the side and a small Babe the Blue Ox stand guard out front.
