Arrive by boat (boats available for rent, bring your own, or take the Life of Riley Water Taxi) to make your escape and retreat into the sights and sounds of nature surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest. Hike for miles without seeing anyone, or spend time in the cozy pine and cedar cabin sipping your favorite beverage, taking a hot bath, or curling up by the wood stove. Enjoy the cozy yet luxurious master suite with gorgeous views of the lake and surrounding forest while laying in its King bed with a pillow-top mattress, in the reading alcove, on the private deck, or in the bathroom with dual showers. The other upper-level bedroom has a king bed with a luxurious mattress, private deck, and beautiful views of the surrounding forest. The lower-level bedroom has gorgeous views of both the forest and the lake. The main-floor bathroom has been completely remodeled and includes a rain shower head. The great room has an 11-foot solid oak dining table positioned to provide beautiful lake views while you eat, play games, or do puzzles. Huge windows overlook amazing views of the lake and surrounding forest, and the cabin faces west and provides unparalleled views of the sunset.

Once outside, the opportunities are endless. Enjoy relaxing on the sand beach or swimming in the crystal-clear water. Hike or mountain bike the endless miles of hiking trails without encountering another person. Spend time kayaking, canoeing, fishing or paddle boarding in beautiful and quiet Norwegian Bay. Luxuriate on one of two docks, or sit on rock point and read or just enjoy the view. You will not find a more relaxing place to spend your vacation.
Wonderful in every way. The house and property felt like home for 6 retired friends. Home is a word I don't use casually. The lake, the sunsets and so much more made for a great stay. We will return to yhis blessing of a place and kind owners.
Red Pine Lodge was the best experience we have had in 7 years on Lake Vermilion! Fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and very secluded! Kudos to Sarah and Jeff for the amazing cabin and great service. Definitely plan on returning there again!
We had a fabulous time! Thank you
We spent two great weeks in late August enjoying this lovely cottage with only the loons for company. It was so peaceful. Everything was just as described - three nice bedrooms, two full baths, a wonderful huge dining table that was perfect for a jigsaw puzzle and card games, and a big dock with plenty of room for two boats (one ours and one rented from Life of Riley. The kitchen was the best equipped we’ve ever rented. Everything we reached for was there. Sarah responded lightning fast to our questions before going and Josh from Life of Riley was great too. We caught a huge Northern and lots of Smallies from the dock and the Norwegian Bay area is beautiful. We’ll look forward to returning.
What an amazing property!! All of the amenities of home. Fully stocked and truly beautiful setting. We went with our 2 teenagers and 2 of their friends. Plenty of space for everyone. Wonderful amenities. Ran the trails a couple of times. Used the kayaks, sand toys, fire pit, grill. Enjoyed boating to the “The Landing” for some food and the kids went in to 77 Pier for mini golf twice. Bedding and towels are very nice. Had a truly lovely time and would highly recommend!
Thinking of Red Pine Lodge makes me smile. The property is well appointed, full of amenities, and easy to enjoy. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is isolated, but in the best possible way. Get your groceries and supplies in Cook, take the long drive around the lake, park and get your orientation at Life of Riley Resort from Josh, and enjoy! 5 minute boat ride gets you to the property (we rented the owners' pontoon which made it very convenient, it was fueled and waiting for us). the lake is huge, but we found it quiet. We took may boat rides over the week, but only saw the western 20-25% of the lake. Trip over to The Landing and Moosebirds was easy and well worth the trip. Day trip to Ely was easy. Our teenage girls loved the beach and dock area, and front of house and dock face the beautiful sunsets! Could not recommend this property more! Come well supplied and enjoy the solitude!
our family stayed for a week, which included an 8 and 10 year old. Everything was absolutely perfect, the cabin had everything we needed, making for a very nice and comfortable accommodation. The cabin location couldn't be more peaceful, and we had no problem boating in. The kitchen was indeed well stocked with cooking supplies; the great selection of games made for lots of fun and laughs; and the lake has got to be one of the best in MN. The staff at Life of Riley were very helpful and hospitable too. We definitely hope to be back for a future family vacation.
We had the most amazing time. Red Pine Lodge was beautiful, completely stocked with all the necessities. Just absolutely Perfect! Fishing off the dock was great, caught some keepers. The pontoon met our needs for fishing and travel. The beach was great for sandcastles and exploring. The Life of Riley resort had such great people and very helpful! I'm so happy we came, bummed we didn't stay longer. Definitely will be back.
You know when you envision a perfect Minnesota cabin, this is that cabin. It’s a gem tucked into the red pines. The pine trees are reminiscent of a painting when peering up at the cabin from the water. When you are inside and look out the windows you feel tucked away into the woods. The cabin is in a quiet bay with a sandy beach, with beautiful views of the water. The dock is great for docking your own boat. You will need to take a short boat ride to get to the cabin. We parked at a resort and after we got our boat into the water and it took about 8 minutes to get to the cabin. Our family really loved the privacy. We were worried about not being able to jump in your car right out of the cabin, but it really made it even more restful. We had two 19 year olds and two 16 years olds with us. We were worried they may get bored. But there was a canoe, kayaks, swimming, lots of hiking trails, a fire pit, fishing, outdoor games and boat rides. The beach was a treat to have! The water felt so great on really hot days and it’s so close to the cabin. There also great games, internet and tv for movies if you have a rainy day. The linens were so nice and Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. If you need a grocery store, it’s about 20 minutes from the resort. I would say Zups would be the market to go to for groceries, they had everything you could need. The cabin bathrooms are very clean and the rain shower heads are so fun. We have been doing VRBO for 10 years and have stayed in many cabins - but this one is picturesque plus comfortable. It’s a gem!!
This was the 2nd time we stayed here. Loved it! Home was very clean and well stocked with basic necessities and the beds are very comfortable. ? Owners are very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended property!
