Lakefront cabin on legendary Lake Vermilion with private dock, AC, and sunset views.

Nestled along Wakemup Narrows, this pet-friendly family-legacy Northwoods retreat sleeps up to four and offers three cozy bedrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and a deck just steps from the shore. Fish, paddle, or swim by day, then gather by the fire as loons call and stars appear.

The Space

Hand-built in the 1960s and ’70s, the cabin carries the calm spirit of simpler summers, thoughtfully balanced with modern comforts—including Wi-Fi suitable for streaming. Just steps from the lake, a short staircase and a parallel stairs-free path both lead to the shoreline, close enough to hear the water yet peacefully tucked away.

Inside, tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceilings, sun-warmed wood floors, and a great room centered around a wood-burning fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A wall of windows frames lake views, glowing sunsets, and on special nights, the Northern Lights. Gather around the pine dining table for shared meals, games, or morning coffee as the lake slowly wakes.

Sleeping spaces include a king bedroom, a handcrafted pine bunkroom, and a double bedroom—each cozy and well-appointed with fresh linens and convenient charging stations. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to fish fries, with full-size appliances, ample cookware, coffee options, and thoughtful extras like stocked spices, food storage wraps, and a rice cooker. The tiled bathroom offers a hot shower, vanity storage, basic toiletries, paper essentials, and plenty of towels.

Outside, lake life unfolds effortlessly. Dine or relax on the deck as the sky turns pink and gold, gather around the private firepit, or step onto the dock to fish or tie up your boat. A rare small sandy walk-in wading beach between docks offers an easy way to cool off in a lake known for its rocky shores.

Adventure is always within reach with a floating water mat, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, water bikes, a paddle boat, rafts, noodles, tube for tubing, life jackets, beach towels, fishing poles and bikes available for guest use. Anglers will appreciate the fish-cleaning station with running water, dockside power, bait fridge, and freezer space. Wildlife sightings are common, with frequent visits from birds, chipmunks, and hummingbirds—and the occasional beaver or mink passing by.

This is a place where mornings are quiet, evenings glow with firelight, and the lake becomes part of your daily rhythm—just as it has for generations before.

Guest Access

Guests enjoy contactless keyless entry via door code provided before check-in.

The cabin is on a shared property with owners next door, typically on-site if needed. Guests have a private cabin, deck, dock, firepit, and guest-only parking for up to four vehicles or trailers.

The dedicated guest dock accommodates one boat up to 22 ft. Advance approval (2 weeks prior) is required for additional boats, as extra docking is limited. A public launch and on-water fuel are just a 1–2 minute boat ride away, with additional launches within 3.5–5 miles.

    Beautiful view of lake, cabin interior very nice, but too many knick knacs. Too many items hanging on walls and tv could be mounted above fire place to remove stand and give a little more room to sitting area. Would could be moved outside also to add room. Everything needed eas there, could remove excess silverware and cooking utensils, too many. An exterior light for north side deck would be nice. All and all, a nice place to stay, was very clean

    Myself, my husband, our dog, and our niece and nephew and their dog stayed at this beautiful cabin on the lake. We did all of the water sports that were provided, including the water bikes, the pedal boat, the kayaks, and we were able to dock our boat and take it out right from the property. They had every amenity you can think of an even left snacks and mementos to take home. The hosts were friendly and attentive. Will definitely consider coming back again! Highly recommend!

    Lisa and Phil were great hosts! Very friendly and helpful; even helped recover our boat when it broke free from their dock during a storm. Cabin was great; very well furnished and a good location. Even had a bear visit 2 nights in a row! They warned us about it when they saw it so that we were safe when taking our dog out after dark.

    We really enjoyed this getaway spot! The cabin is quite comfortable and fully stocked with everything needed inside and out. The location is well sheltered in the narrows with access to many fishing spots.There are beautiful views of the sunset. This would be a great spot for seeing the northern lights!We hope to make this our escape location again in the future!

    The cabin is perfect! It is so beautiful and has an amazing view of the lake. Even though there is a resort right across the channel, it is very quiet. Lisa created an extremely friendly and inviting atmosphere with many extra details, for example: a welcome basket of goodies on the dining room table; she had many laminated documents with things to do and see in the area; provided lots of maps and flyers of the area; and had put together a binder of things to know and see around Lake Vermillion. Everything was labeled very well. The owners provided much more extras than any other VRBO that I have stayed in, for example: extra bath towels, extra blankets, shampoo/conditioner & body soap, hand soap, and extra toilet paper. We will definitely be back next year! Eric and Robin Long September 2024.

    This cabin has a lovely view and everything you need for a great vacation on the lake - nice dock, kayaks, water bikes, yard games and board games for those rainy days. There is a nice boat launch just a few miles down the road. We had a great week and will definitely book again.

    First time renting a VRBO, and it was exceptional! Lisa and Phil were great hosts. The property itself was very well maintained and boasted so many extras. Loved the snack basket, the plethora of games & books, fully equipped kitchen/bathroom. They even provided a selection of ornaments as a keepsake of this trip. Great experience!

    We have stayed at many VRBO properties, and this was one of the cleanest coziest places we have stayed. The kitchen, bathrooms and living areas were all very clean. There were many little extras like bikes, water equipment, etc. Very nice sturdy docks with bummer protection which is important to us traveling with our fishing boat. Very accommodating for our every need. Owners are right next door, but respective of our time and of our two dogs traveling with us. I would gladly stay at this property again. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
