About this property
Newer Lake Vermilion - Pike Bay/Pike River Home. Includes Satellite TV and WiFi
This 12 year old beautiful home is just like new with a King size bed on the main level and a big loft area that includes a Queen bed and a sleep sofa/futon as well as a full sleep sofa/futon in the main living area.
This Pike River/Pike bay inlet property has a nice private dock with a sitting/fishing bench where you are able to sit, fish or relax. Fishing is closed on the Pike River during the month of May for spawning, but access to the lake is open. You are welcome to park your boat at the dock. We do not recommend that Fiberglass boats /or any other boats over 19' navigate up the river due to the current and fluctuation of depth caused by rain, evaporation and wind. By boat it takes around 7-10 minutes to navigate out to Pike Bay and that is the same amount of it Takes to get to a couple of good concrete launch ramps that can put you in different bays on the East side of Lake Vermilion for Fishing or just cruising around.
The fire pit area has plenty of seating and is only a stones throw away from the dock. The large deck has a patio table, new gas grill and plenty of seating if you like to sit out at night and enjoy the fresh air. The inside of the house has a full kitchen that includes a( Keurig coffeemaker, 2 slice bagel toaster, rice cooker, hand mixer and a large slow cooker). Also a full bathroom with tub/ shower and a laundry room for your use. The house has central A/C with 3 separate units. The large propane fireplace has a safety screen on it to keep hands from touching the glass. You will find two nice Samsung 43" High Definition LCD TV's in the main living area and one in the master bedroom, both with dish satellite TV for you to enjoy.
Location is key for this vacation rental. You are less than a half mile from a large gas station, convenient store with drive thru bait service that includes a new Liquor store.

This was the second time staying at this property and we enjoyed it very much. It is very close to gas, bait, and boat landing. It is a very quiet and peaceful place and we would definitely come back.
Every year my family rents a cabin someplace up north. We love visitng the lake vermilion area and this cabin was perfect for us. We enjoyed the beautiful view and very nice accommodations. We brought paddle boards and the kids loved swimming at McKinley beach nearby. Wonderful time!
What a lovely place for a family getaway! Located near the beautiful area surrounding lake vermilion. this lakeside cabin was the ideal spot for us to spend a long weekend with our two girls. We spent 3 days of hiking, visiting the international Wolf center, and just enjoying the small towns in the area. We had s'mores by the fire pit and enjoyed the gorgeous view from the deck of this lovely cabin.
Our host responded immediately to any questions we had, and gave us tips on the area.
I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to go visit northern Minnesota.
It was great, it did say there was a hot tub but there wasn’t one when they got there. But it was still a great time for my fiancée and his buddies. Edward was a great host!
Great family vacation at a wonderful cabin. Right on the water. Pike caught from off the dock. Enjoyed the paddle boat. Great bbq and fire pit.Cozy and homely and enjoyed battleships.Thanks for great communication and help where needed. Loads of local things to do as well as just great place to hang out
The cabin was very comfortable and included everything needed for our 4 night stay. We really enjoyed the time spent on the dock fishing, paddling around in the canoe, and evenings by the fire pit. Owners were very hospitable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Excellent cabin for our six person weekend fishing stay. Convenient location, great river scenery, clean, very accurate representation. Host communicated timely and appropriately. Recommend the property without reservation five star for sure.
Very clean and nicely kept cabin. Owners were quick to respond to any questions. Took us a minute to figure out the air conditioners but once we did they cooled it off very nicely. The 8 of us were comfortable.
Cabin was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Wi-Fi was excellent. We were able to do easily do video-conferences for work. The owner was very responsive when an issue arose with the hot water tank and he immediately fixed it. I would definitely recommend the cabin to others.
Property was exactly as advertised! Very clean and had everything we needed!! We caught small mouth, pike and walleyes from the dock using slip bobber and minnows.
Being close to the store was very nice but also came with a little road noise but didn’t affect our stay at all!
We plan on rebooking again next summer!
Bruce & Mary are awesome! 4 of us rode from Marcell on snowmobile for a couple night stay over New Years. Everything was just as described. Very clean. Bruce met us on the road to help lead us to the cabin. Cabin was warm and cozy with all the necessities. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

We drove 7 hrs to stay at this place. One of the reasons we picked it was due to the reviews that said how nice it was and clean. Upon arrival we stepped out to dog poop...which we thought there were no pets aloud. When entering the house we found ants, hair all over king size bed, and so much hair behind and on side of bed you couldnt see the carpet in spots, the hair was going up the wall behind and on side of bed 4ft up. The ceiling fans you couldnt turn on do to the amount of grime on them. I contacted owner and sent pics and we did get a full refund, and owner was quick to respond. Unfortunate that the one vacation we get a year had to be canceled due to the conditions of this house. Had it been clean it would have been a wonderful property to stay at. We have been using VRBO for 10 years, and have never encountered this before.
