Relaxing week.

Which really enjoyed our stay at this cabin up north. Listing was very accurate, cabin was very clean, and horses were very communicative. The only thing that could’ve made our week better was some warmer weather.

Perfect place, great host

This is a fantastic place to stay!! We spent a week and would have loved to stay longer. The place is very nice, convenient, and has a private boat dock. The view of the lake is one of the best I've seen, and the property manager was top notch. If we hit Lake Vermillion again we'll definately be repeat customers.

Awesome family vacation home

We had a great family vacation at the lake house! It was perfect for our family of four and our dog. We had a great time relaxing at the lake house, making s’more’s over the fire pit, watching the beautiful sunsets, and taking our boat out to fish. The lake house was very clean and comfortable, and in a great location. We look forward to staying again!

Great week on the lake

Our second stay at the house was great, just like we remembered from last year. Very quick and easy to communicate with owners. It’s a convenient location, being close to boat launch and town, yet still able to get away from it all! Thanks so much for having the house open to rentals.

This place worked out perfectly.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It had everything we needed and was in a great location to travel around the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and the furniture was nice to relax in. The dock is set up well to power the boat and it isn't a long way from the house at all. Fish cleaning was easy with a big table near the dock. I would rent this home again.

Thanks for hosting! We had a great time. Unfortunately no muskies caught but fun time exploring the area. Happy the pier was still in the water. Would be awesome if the spice cabinet was labeled, we thought it was a breaker box! Thanks!

Great Time

4 adults, 1 infant, 2 dogs, 6 nights. Had a great stay. Great weather & great fishing. All is as advertised. We used the basement bedroom this stay, and it was comfortable. It’s great having a place to clean the fish & handle the remains on site. We went out to eat twice, and prepared all other meals at home. We enjoy being close to Tower. Sean is super responsive.and we look forward to rebooking.

Cozy cabin in the woods

This is a remodeled lake house that is cozy and has beautiful lake views off the deck. It is nestled in a forest with a new bike trail a block away. It is close to the Soudan Underground Mine, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, and lots of state parks and national forest. The owners were great.

Perfect location

Property was as advertised and very clean. We were comfortable and plenty of room for the 3 of us and our two dogs. Hubby would appreciate a TV antenna for local channels vs just streaming service, but wifi worked great. Nice boat dock and quick access to great fishing spots as well as a nice setup for fish cleaning. Host was very responsive and we had no issues during our 6 day stay. Will definitely rebook.

Amazing Lake Vermillion Getaway

We loved our week at this property. The house is comfortable and contains everything you need and more. Everything we impeccably clean. The dock is great for anyone bringing a boat, and it is also easy to launch kayaks and paddleboards straight from there. We caught lots of fish (including a 20 inch walleye off the dock!), relaxed on the spacious deck, played lots of board games, and had a wonderful time as a family. Thanks to Sean and his family for sharing the home!

Amazing view of the lake!!!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful lake home. This home as everything we needed. It was super clean and had comfortable beds. There was plenty of room for yard games which our family likes to play. We rented a pontoon for a day and cruised the gorgeous Lake Vermilion! It was sad to leave at the end of the week but will certainly return one day. Sean and Amy were very easy to contact about anything we had questions on. Thank you for allowing our family to make memories at your lake home!

Relaxing lake view

We had a nice time at this lake house. The views are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the the upper deck. The living room is small but very cozy and comfortable couches. We didn’t use the downstairs except to wash clothes, the stairs are very steep for us older folks. The kitchen could use some more microwaveable safe bowls for cooking and maybe an electric can opener for those of us with weak hands but everything else was good. The shower and toilet upstairs are very short so if you are tall like my husband you’ll have to bend over and it was hard for me to get off the toilet but it was clean and everything worked so it was all good. It was a quiet peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Vacation!

This lake home fit our family just right. Our 8 and 12-year-old kids said “there was so much to do!” It has lots of space in the lower level dedicated to playing games so they could entertain themselves when adults were busy. The best part of this home is definitely the deck. It has the most lovely view overlooking the lake and you literally feel like you’re in a tree house. The dock situation is great. We have a 19’ Lund and felt like it was safe the entire time (no dangerous boulders or strong waves). It’s tucked in the bay just enough. We swam in the lake multiple times but it’s best to have water footwear. The swim area is partly rocky and partly soft bottom but no weeds. There is a full flight of steps to the lake but they are well-built with railings. The kitchen is very well-stocked and we never were at a loss for anything. The entire house was extremely clean and comfortable. Best of all, the hosts are spot-on…from detailed instructions to being super responsive, it really seems like they are on top of it all. I would highly recommend! We already want to go back! It’s hard to find a vacation home that has it all AND allows dogs. Thank you so much, Sean and Amy!

Fantastic!

This was our 4th stay. Beautiful updates in the kitchen and front deck…love having a dishwasher! Great walleye fishing all week. We’re always very comfortable here, and the host is super responsive. We’ve never had an issue with the cabin or dock. Plenty of options for sleeping & relaxation. The west view on the back deck is superb. Enjoyed a visit to the International Wolf Center in Ely. It’s super convenient to the grocery store & restaurants in Tower, as well as bait We’ll definitely rebook!

Lovely place to relax

We really enjoyed our stay at this home, and thank the owners for all they do to make vacations easy and enjoyable. Dock was great for our 18 foot Ranger, and we had no problems leaving boat in water for the stay. Driveway was a little tricky for boat trailer, and we ended up backing out rather than turning around by house. Steps are steep in house so we would not bring our older relatives to this property for a family getaway. House was good for my husband and me, and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location, beautiful sunsets, good fishing!

We had the perfect family get together at this wonderful home. There was something for everyone as some went fishing and others kayaked, canoed and hiked. We especially loved that the kitchen equipment was so much better than other VRBO's were we have stayed and the fish table under the deck made cleaning fish so easy. We also appreciated the bottom floor bedroom and rec room as it gave everyone a bit more privacy. The sunsets were beautiful and I loved going out on the deck at 2am to hear the loons and see the stars.
