November News 2016
The resort is put to bed for another summer season. The docks are all rolled up and the water lines blown out. The three weeks we were open in October were pretty nice for this time of year. A bit of frost on the pumpkin a couple of mornings but overall really nice weather.
This time of year we like to reflect on how lucky we are to live and work in such a great area. None of of it would be possible with out our great customer base that comes back to visit us and White Iron Beach year after year. We know you all have many places to choose from to enjoy your vacations and family time and are humbled that you have picked us and Ely. We will continue to improve and upgrade our cabins and grounds to make WIBR the best place possible. Our entire family thanks you for your past business and looks forward to the next time you are in Ely. As the holiday season starts this month please travel safely and enjoy your families and friends.
We do plan on attending the same sport shows this upcoming Spring, Schaumburg,IL, Tinley Park IL, Eau Claire, WI and Minneapolis, MN. I will post the exact dates in future newsletters and on our Facebook page.
We are already getting many inquires for the 2017 season. If you did not re- book before you left this summer please call or write soon to lock in your favorite cabin or cabins. . Please check the website www.whiteironbeach.com for all the current up to date info and specials.
Take care,

It does not matter when during that time frame you input your request as it is a random draw for all that apply. If you want to pick up your permits at White Iron Beach please remember to request us on your applications. If you forget you can change this later. There are many more requests than permits for the Basswood entry points. If you want to give yourself a better chance for drawing a permit I would request multiple permits for the weeks you want permits. The permits are only $6.00 so if you get more than you want all you need to do is cancel the extra ones. It is important to cancel extra permits so others have an opportunity to pick them up.
