OUR HISTORY

HOW IT ALL STARTED

The property was established in 1970 and has since remained in the Olson family. The former Wilderness Bar closed in 1978. The property has sat idle until 2014. Rick and Darron Olson are brothers, and are the sons of the late Donald and Barbara Olson, owners of the former Wilderness Bar, which is now the site of Wilderness Resort.

Uno and Sue Warjacka, the original property and bar owners, had named the complex, Wilderness Resort and Bar.  At that time they offered cabins, a bar, a store, and a sauna.

Rick and Darron have always had the dream of opening up a motel or cabins on the family property, and possibly a small campground. Now their dream has come true.

The Wilderness Resort started out in the beginning by purchasing a cabin and a home located next to the family property.  They completed a full remodel of both and are now their first rentals for the Resort.
