Tower, Minnesota
Summary:
Quaint cabin settles deep in the north woods on Lake Vermilion. Situated on a bank overlooking the lake this cabin offers stunning views and fresh breezes year round. Just a short set of stairs to the lake where you'll find a sandy beach and three large docks.
21 foot Bennington pontoon available for guests to rent at $200 per day. Reach out after booking to reserve.
The Space:
This cabin was built for rentals around 1953 and has hosted thousands of families over the years. Since we purchased it in 2017 we have done some updates but the overall charm is not lost.
The Neighborhood:
With 25 steps to the water we do not recommend renting if you have mobility issues. The property owners and other guests at the property may have dogs off leash.
Other Things to Note:
This cabin is one of three on our property and Bayview Lodge is located to the East of our property. During summer months there is an outdoor bar at Bayview Lodge and despite the large fence it is something that you can generally hear when outdoors. They are great neighbors and shut things down by 10 pm but if you don't want to hear or see other people this property is not for you.
Interaction with Guests:
We have a home on the property and are usually available. Although we're close we understand that people come up here for privacy and always respect their space.

This was an old cabin under renovation. The interior was quite spacious and livable, but exterior grounds were undergoing trenching, etc. The Petersons, owners, were in cabin next door; they provided an extra heater for our bathroom and were very cordial. They did express some dismay in getting contractors for aspects of the renovation. The cabin was on Lake Vermilion, but bank was quite steep, so getting a canoe or kayak to the Lake there difficult--but the Petersons indicated they had a canoe available, and of course there is public access not that far away. The cabin was conveniently located for visits to nearby State parks, especially the Soudan Iron Mine, and also the Ojibwe Heritage Center. And Ely was not that far away either. For those looking for a pet-friendly, spacious cabin, I'd recommend contacting the Petersons directly to see the current progress of renovations.
My 2 teen age grandsons (14 & 17) made our 2nd annual grouse hunting trip to Northern MN. Despite rainy conditions, they had a great time, bringing 8 ruffed grouse back to Blaine, MN to share with family! Yum! Cabin was just as listed in VRBO—older but clean, comfortable beds, nice appliances. Owners pleasant and helpful. Thank you!
Nice small cabin on beautiful Lake Vermillion.
We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. The on site hosts Roy and Diane were fantastic! Courtney was great getting us set up and booked and gave us excellent directions to the cabin and precise information regarding check in, The view was great and there is even a bar/ restaurant just feet away. It was peaceful and serene. Our neighboring cabin folks caught their limit daily! We would definitely go back again.
The cabin was clean, roomy enough to sleep five adults, with Wi-Fi, TV, and great dock access. Roy was a great host, giving us plenty of helpful fishing tips. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything was wonderful! Hosts are always amazing and so friendly. We look forward to another stay with you guys next year. Thanks again!
The cabin needs some improvements The bathroom fluorescent light does not work. The basic items like soap, wash cloths, salt and pepper were not furnished. The kitchen needs more glasses.
Great old cabin right on the lake. Couldn’t have been better! Denise and Roy are wonderful.
It would have been small for a lot of people but I loved staying here. Especially important to me was the swimming, deep, cold, excellent swimming. The onsite management was excellent, Denise is terrific. I loved the relaxed attitudes about dogs! It’s an old-style, knotty pine cabin with all the basics provided ( like towels, TP, all kinds of utensils, dish pan and drying rack). A nice deck is wrapped around the lakeside of the cabin was lovely to sit on and watch the Lake. I was lucky it was a quiet week, It’s not secluded —right over the fence there’s Tavern on the Bay, with OK food and decent live music, but, since I ended up there alone with my dog, I liked that. (They’re quiet after ten.) Overall, I was really pleased with this place, I would return.
We really enjoyed our stay, loved the cabin and the owners are wonderful. Highly recommend!
Nice cabin in the great forest of NE Minnesota.
The owners are the sweetest and make sure you have everything you need! The cabin is 1 of 3 on the property, they also have some campers parked on the property. Everything is spaced out pretty well though, very large piece of land for on the water to accommodate everyone. It was quiet and it was nice that their was a restaurant close by. We loved our stay!
Quaint charming cabin with everything you need and very close proximity to restaurants and entertainment. We are into fishing primarily and this location was ideal for us. Beautiful sunsets each evening and the view from the cabin was perfect. The hosts Denise and Roy are fantastic and so easy to talk to and were there if anything was needed.
Rustic cabin, with Great Lake Vermilion views. Hosts are nearby, very friendly and welcoming. Dogs are very welcomed. Things to be aware of… all beds are bunk bed style or a futon. As described you are not secluded. Multiple campers and cabins near by, and all share 4 docks, and beach area. Plumbing and electrical functional but rustic. Not ideal for individuals with limited mobility, because of steep decent to water, and cabin has narrow spaces. Kitchen has all your basic cooking needs. All in all a nice weekend getaway to relax and take in the local attractions!
Wonderful cabin. Great hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. . Great location. Close enough to everything we needed. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for two parents, three teens and a dog. Loved every minute of it. Was sad to have to leave. Made us feel very much at home. Thank you for the use of your lovely cabin.
Excellent hosts and location. Hiking and biking trails are just a short distance away, fishing was excellent and golfing at the local resort was perfect.
Owners were very helpful!
Denise and Roy are GREAT HOSTS. If your thinking about staying here you won't be disappointed.
