My wife and I had a wonderful time! The place was so peaceful off the main lake in Black Bay. Easy boat ride to the Landing for on the water dinning. Very relaxing. The property was very clean and offered plenty to do. The lodge was a really nice place to hang out on the screened porch. Alex and his wife we’re very good hosts and obviously keeping this place pristine!
we stayed in the aspen cabin. The last night we were leaving the lodge and there was a hose left on the walkway which i tripped over...fell and hit my face on the ground which proceeded to turn black and blue.. Please move the hose so nobody else trips on it. I was going to tell the owners in the morning but we never seen them before we left.
The owner was super kind and helpful! My husband, 4 year old daughter and I enjoyed our visit.
The lake is very pretty--lots of big trees all around. This was our first time at Lake Vermilion. Vintage Vermilion worked great for our family. The cabin was rustic, cozy and had what we needed. We rented the fishing boat 3 of the days of our 5 night stay. We tried our luck at fishing and only caught little ones--but were able to have a fish fry one of the days there. Our girls--age 12 and 9--had more fun tubing. When we rented the boat, we were able to take out the tube, water skis, etc. There was also a canoe, paddle boat and kayaks we could borrow ... which was nice. We were wishing they had a few stand up paddleboards. A few of the nights we used the large fire pit which had firewood at the ready and made S'mores with other camp guests. We ventured over to The Landing, the casino in Fortune Bay and The Vermilion Club all by boat. We liked the Landing best and went there a few times. We will likely be back to Lake Vermilion and Vintage Vermilion for more lake adventures.
We had 3 adults and a dog and stayed a week. The cabin is small but is much bigger then the tent we usually camp in. We loved being there! The screen porch on the lodge was one of our favorite places. Seeing an otter near the dock was amazing!
Cabin is small but worked well for the group. We wanted to give Vermilion a try since Canada is still closed.
My girlfriend Cindy and I spent 6 days at vintage Vermilion in the Aspen cottage. While the fishing was very slow, we still had a very good time. Lots of wildlife, as well as beautiful lake houses to see while out fishing. Peter & Teresa were excellent hosts, and Sam helped facilitate our bookings well too. We hope to visit again, but maybe earlier in the year when the fishing is better. Thanks
We rented the Aspen Cabin for a week long family fishing vacation in late June 2020. The resort is nicely private and beautiful. The managers (Peter and Theresa) did everything possible to make our stay the bast ever. The fishing was good, especially in black bay where the resort is located. The cabin was nicely furnished and had everything you need. The only negative I would say is that the aspen cabin was a little small when we had five people inside. It would be ideal for a max of three.
It was easy to book & communicate with both the owners and property managers. All were helpful in navigating the area, letting us know what we may need, and just overall very friendly.
Lovely lake view, cozy cabin, amazing amenities, most of all Loyd (the property manager) was our favor part. He made us feel welcome and was super friendly!
