Tower, Minnesota
Come to beautiful Lake Vermilion and enjoy one of the ten most beautiful lakes in the world! There are over 290 miles of shoreline, mostly glacial rock with stately evergreens, and 365 unique islands on this pristine northern Minnesota lake. In the summer and fall you can explore the lake on our pontoon boat, fishing boat, row boat, or kayaks (or rent a canoe or jet skies). World-class golf is available at 3 courses within 25 miles of the cabin (The Quarry, The Legends, and Wilderness). In the winter months, the lake is perfect for snow shoeing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling or ice-fishing, and downhill skiing at Giants Ridge is only 30 minutes away.
Our cabin is right next to miles of state park so the bay is quiet and undeveloped; we share it with loons and hummingbirds. The cabin sits on a rise overlooking Big Bay and Ely Island. The vista looking east takes in several smaller islands. McKinley Park, with its sandy beach, boat launch, and playground, is less than a mile down the road. The popular Northwood's town of Ely is just 20 minutes away. This cabin is perfectly situated for a quiet romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a weekend with friends.
The cabin was built around 1970 and was remodeled in 2000; air conditioning was installed in 2015. The kitchen is new and the main living area is vaulted to provide a more panoramic view of the lake. There is a deck attached to the cabin which overlooks the lake, and a larger deck sitting right over the water. We have a wood-burning fireplace in the main living area and a gas fireplace in the walkout level, as well as a fire pit outside. There is a beautiful spot for a hammock and a side yard perfect for yard games.
We had a great fall trip here! Perfect location on Lake Vermillion with lots of opportunities to catch fish on the lake. Cabin had a very well stocked kitchen and the cherry on top was having firewood available to use in the fireplace inside and the fire pit outside as well. Highly recommend!
Peaceful and relaxing
This cabin/house was exactly what we were looking for so we could experience Lake Vermillion for the first time. Amenities were plentiful with an extensive library selection along with games and puzzles. The deck over looking the water was ideal. Beds pillows and kitchen supplies were abundant. Neat clean accommodations and everything was as we expected. I would recommend staying here.
Plenty of room. Great place for a family get together. Loved the selection of games and books
Beautiful spot! Two families with small children stayed here. The only part that we didn’t live was that we needed to dispose of our own garbage at the dump and we needed to bring drinking water. It did make us more thoughtful about our waste though! We used the kayaks and they provided lots of firewood for bonfires. They also provided a highchair, pack n play and a crib if needed. The soudan mine park is very close and made for a nice close hike.
Lovely setting, great views of the lake, comfortable beds, clean and well appointed.
This was a fishing, hunting and golf trip with 4 old guy friends that have been vacationing together over 15 years. The cabin was perfect for our needs and provided plenty of room inside and out (parking & large garage was awesome) We utilized the outside fire pit, fish cleaning table, dock and both decks that overlook Lake Vermillion. There are plenty of kitchen utensils, coffee maker, blender, 4 slice toaster, etc. so we didn't need to bring anything. The beds were clean & comfortable and each had it's own fan. Great for white noise sleeping! They even provided some great welcome snacks which we thoroughly enjoyed. If we had to find a downside it was the dock being too high out of the water. We had 2 fishing boats tied to it and when the winds blew they we subject to damage from bouncing under the dock. Maybe it was a low water year? Dock cleats & bumpers would be a nice addition. All in all it's a great cabin & location. We are looking forward to next year's stay!
Beautiful home with all amenities you could ask for. Well supplied, great location! Perfect retreat for 6 couples. Some minor things needing attention: Issues with circuit breaker popping for boat pug in, ceiling lights in master didn’t work, dehumidifier necessary to use in basement bedroom but runs loud. All in all, loved it!!
This was our second time staying at this property and it was great again! Wonderful family home. Great host!
We had such a fun time at this cabin! Communication with the owner/manager was great, And the property matched the listing. We loved seeing wildlife we don’t always see at home, as well as the beautiful lake sunsets. Truly a trip to remember!
