Stayed May 31, 2025We had quite a few issues with the property. there were a number of things that were promised that didn't happen or things that I think should be mentioned. First off it should be mentioned that there's no boat launch on site. that ends up being a lot of work to shuttle people around to get parked. The wifi wasn't working and there was pretty much no cell reception. that was a big problem as 2 of our group needed to work remotely throughout the week and missed meetings etc. one of the big reasons for booking a cabin over just camping is for the wifi and working remotely when needed. the cabin was in poor shape and unclean. there was mice poop in the cupboards dust on everything. It was very cluttered. the sheets were seemingly not cleaned (yet we were supposed to do laundry before we left!? ) Do you realize how hard it is to run 4 beds worth of bed sheets through a washing machine in 1 morning!? and pack and move cars around etc. The running water was a joke it was brown. im thinking it was just pulled straight out of the lake with seemingly no filter. why not filter it? what good is dirty running water really? the main bedroom had huge holes in the screens on both doors and the ceiling fan didn't work so it was very hot to sleep in there. Most of the dvds that where supposed to be there were missing and the dvd player had no remote control and needed to be found and hooked up to the tv. barely worked. Cleanliness over all was just really bad. hard to relax!!!etc

Stayed Jul 26, 2025Staying on an island on Lake Vermilion has been on our family's bucket list for year! The cabin had everything we needed, the owner was incredibly easy to work with, and the view from the island was incredible. We loved the feel of a remote, back woods experience with amenities like electricity and running water.

Stayed Jul 19, 2025The Island is in a beautiful quiet location. Once you get all your stuff to the island its all relaxation. Fishing off the dock was good for the kids and provided good excitement. There are several places to eat and gas up on the big part of the lake. You can even access Fortune Bay via boat with a 30-40 minute boat ride. Golf at the Wilderness is top notch. The cabin is small, but enough room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Black bay is a small bay which provides nice protection when the weather gets bad. Dock has ample space for two larger boats. Saw lots of loons and eagles from our dock. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

Stayed Jun 28, 2025Cabin is incredible and having the island to yourself on this beautiful lake made for a perfect father son weekend getaway! The cabin has all of the conveniences of home and the host could not be more accommodating. I have stayed at many VRBOs and this was one of the best experiences I have had! The fishing off the dock was great and the owner went out of his way to help us on how / where to catch fish. The lake itself offers great fishing and beautiful scenery. Even though you are on a private island, it is easy enough to access town, so you get the convenience of town with the peacefulness of being away from the noise. The cabin has a great outdoor sitting area and fire pit that we used almost every night. We would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are an avid sportsmen or just want to get away and enjoy the absolute serenity that this lake has to offer.

Stayed Aug 10, 2024My middle son wanted his senior trip to be with his whole family (dog too) and focused on fishing. This was the perfect rental for exactly that. Shaun was great with all of our questions. The cabin was perfect-- we have 3 boys (20, 17, 14) myself, my husband, and dog, and we didn't feel crowded. The boys enjoyed all the family pictures and history of the island. We spent most of our time outside-- and ate our meals in the screened-in gazebo. The boys spent most of their time fishing-- both on the dock & in the boat. They caught a trophy walleye off the dock and the biggest fish (northern) off the dock. My middle son ended up catching 50 fish during our week's stay. Our dog enjoyed roaming the island and we found a little area where he could swim. We enjoyed the kayak and spent some time in the hammocks relaxing. We were expecting the mosquitos to be awful-- but they weren't. It was a great way to get a wilderness feel (felt very much like Boundary Waters in the bay) with modern-day amenities. I'm sure my boys will ask to go back next summer!

Stayed Aug 3, 2024We had a great week on Lake Vermilion. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with everything you need. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, hiking at the shore lunch, and watching bald eagles at the opening of Black Bay. Highly recommend for a great spot to spend time with family.

Stayed Jul 20, 2024It was a perfect place to get far away from everyday. We needed a break from everything that distracts us as a couple from the being our best. It was nice to reconnect, to remind ourselves of what is truly important and the things that really matter in life. We found that in our very short week. The serenity, quiet (but for the loons), and beauty that exists “ up north” is rarely found today. We found that here, and… we caught a few fish as a bonus! It’s not 5 star luxury but that’s not what this place is about, it’s much more rewarding than that.: Thanks for sharing your place with us Shawn,
