Long Bow Resort

I never saw Long Bow Resort, but I've bought a lot of post cards from this resort through the years.  It was located on Steamboat Bay near Minnesota Island.  It also was located near where Long Bow Golf Course is located. now.

Through the years it was known as just Long Bow Resort and sometimes Nelson's Long Bow Resort.  I'm not sure if it changed hands or if the Nelson's just decided to put their name on it.  The chamber map I'm using just said Long Bow Resort.  I also don't know when it closed down, but most likely in the late 70's on as a lot of the resorts that are gone did.

I would really appreciate any knowledge that anyone out there has about this resort.

From the Walker Chamber of Commerce map from the late 50's early 60's:
