Lake Vermilion 1 br Cottage + Bunkhouse

This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin is cozy and romantic. (We call it The Honeymoon Cabin!) Nestled in the North Woods, on the shore of Lake Vermilion, its pine interior is homey and warm, and French doors open onto a deck that looks out over the lake. The kitchen is compact, but fully outfitted with a refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, toaster oven, and coffeemaker.

You'll want to spend most of your time on the lake, but for those of us who can't quite leave the rest of the world behind, there is WiFi.

The cabin itself has 1 bedroom with a queen bed. You can also access the charming bunkhouse on the shoreline, which sleeps 3. The bunkhouse has an enclosed chem toilet, and there’s a cute outhouse up the hill. There is also a sauna, shared with one other cabin, for you to enjoy!

The driveway of this cabin can accommodate one boat trailer. (Getting a trailer in and out requires some care, as the gravel road is not wide.) Boats can be put in the lake at Moccasin Point or at Grubens Marina, both of which are very nearby.

We do NOT have a fire pit, and do not allow outside fires. There is often a high risk of fire, as we are in the woods. We DO provide a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking.

There are loads of attractions and activities nearby-- the Vince Shute Bear Sanctuary, the International Wolf Center, Fortune Bay Casino, shopping in Ely, fishing guides, mailboat rides, hiking, tours of the Soudan Mine, and much more.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free cottage features books, hiking/biking trails nearby, and kayaking nearby.

Peaceful, quiet and relaxing!
Delightful little cabin with all the accruements needed Only suggestion would be to add a railing at top of trail to the dock so it will make it easier to traverse. Wonderful place!!

Special Place
We loved the Lake Vermillion vacation. We spread the family out among the two lake cabins and the adjoining bunkhouse - 8 of us, two babies and our dogs. It was perfect. Plenty of room, beautiful & quiet lake setting. The cedar bunkhouse by the lake and the sauna were a hit. Very special vacation. We could hear loons!

Great stay!! Cabin was exactly as advertised. The pier worked great even with the higher water. Struggled on the lake though the fishing was tough. I’d definitely plan another trip at the cabin.

Great Week
Cabin was very clean and property was very quiet. Even though it is on the small side the cabin was perfect for my wife and me. The property managers live next door and were extremely helpful with questions we had. During our stay there was a tornado warning and the managers were right there to make sure we had a safe place to take shelter. We had a great week of fishing and exploring. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home Base
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at this beautiful cozy cottage while we explored the greater iron range area. We had everything we needed with a great view and wonderful breezes at all times of the day. We were able to explore three State Parks, Voyageurs National Park, nearby trails and towns along with the awesome Lake Vermillion! Jennica and hosts were very friendly and attentive to our needs ... turn key northern paradise awaits for those looking to escape to the North Woods. We'll be back!!

Glad to Return-Better than Ever!
New Owner, Jennica, has done a wonderful job keeping up the property and has even added some upgrades with new Porch Furniture and a New Fireplace for heat. Great little cozy cabin on a beautiful lake. What more could you ask for?

Last minute fishing trip
My buddy and I rented this property as a last minute getaway before he becomes a dad in a few weeks. The owner, Jennica, was great to work with. She promptly answered my questions as our trip approached. This property is in a great location on the lake. There are boat launches nearby, marina around the corner and a restaurant in the same bay as the property. I would recommend staying at this property if it’s available. You know it was a great trip when you are planning your next stay there before your current trip ends.
