Panoramic Island studded views! Spectacular ledge rock setting!

Vermilion Miles Away Lodge is a custom log cabin set against a spectacular ledge rock outcropping with 6 acres of wilderness, 380 feet of shoreline, and 40,000 acres of Lake Vermilion to explore! Breathtaking panoramic island studded views await!

The log cabin boasts 2,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a huge loft with amazing views overlooking the lake, and a wood burning sauna house complete with a shower, sink, and futon. A short walk through the woods brings you to your own secluded wilderness picnic area and fire pit on a rocky point in Pike Bay. Hang out down on the lake on the amazing platform deck right on the water! Umbrella, hammocks, lounge chairs, two fishing kayaks, and paddleboat included! There is also a ladder on the dock for easy access for swimming right at the dock. It is about 4' deep at the end of the dock with no rocks, great for jumping in and swimming or hooking a lily pad up to the dock and lounging in the water. The lake bottom is slightly muddy at the end of the dock and transitions to sand/gravel about halfway down the dock. Great for hanging out in thigh deep water right off the platform deck with your favorite drink.

The cabin is conveniently located less than 2 miles down the road from Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness Golf Course, the #2 ranked public golf course in Minnesota! Many other adventures await including miles of snowmobiling and ATV trails, a 40 minute drive to the Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Park, a 10 minute drive to the Soudan Mine State Park, a 30 minute drive to Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Hill, and a 25 minute drive to the beautiful town of Ely! There is a boat launch at Fortune Bay Casino just down the road, as well as ample dock space at the cabin for your boat on calm Pike Bay! The state snowmobile trail is on the lake directly in front of the cabin too!

The perfect escape for your summer and winter plans! Grab your fishing poles, golf clubs, skis, snowmobiles, ATVs, and sense of adventure! Something for every season. Book your stay now!
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a sauna or take in the view from a garden.

Beautiful Zup North Getaway
My family and I had such a wonderful time at Nick's family cabin. Fall is such a beautiful time in Ely and the cabin is right on the water and offers a serene and relaxing energy. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a week up north. The sauna was fantastic and the perfect way to unwind after fall adventures.

An Extraordinary Lake Vermillion Experience
My family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. The property and lake had so much to offer and the accommodations were spectacular. The owner was amazing, extremely helpful with any question I had and understanding when we had an issue with a boat rental. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for their 1st or 50th Lake Vermillion vacation.

Perfect Lake Vermilion Getaway
Nick’s property accommodates everything we look for when spending time together as a family. We loved the open layout to stay connected while preparing or eating meals and for playing games or relaxing at night. We enjoyed lunches on the deck, time around the campfire, daily trips to the sauna, and kayak trips on the lake. Great place to make new memories!

Tremendous Spot with Stunning Views
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay. The main cabin has all the amenities you could need! The sauna and garage (featuring air hockey, darts and ping pong) was a hit as well! The property was easy to navigate and wonderfully outfitted. The kayaks and water gear was tremendously helpful and in great condition. All in all, if you're thinking of Lake Vermillion for your next stay with a large group, this spot cannot be topped!

Family Get Away
I stayed at Nick’s place with my husband, kids, my parents, and my in-laws to fish and spend some down time. We love staying on Lake Vermilion and this cabin was the perfect place to do that. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The view from the loft was incredible and it had a great yard for the kids to play! If you’re looking to do some fishing or just hanging out by a beautiful lake, I’d definitely recommend this place!

Perfect winter getaway
This property had everything needed for an Iron Range winter getaway. The location is convenient to both Ely and the Virginia area. The kitchen is well stocked with everything for those who like to cook when traveling, and convenience/grocery stores are not too far away. Communication with the owner was excellent, and they were generous in sharing both the property and equipment like snowshoes. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for a Quick Winter Get Away
Myself and three friends used the property for a long weekend snowmobile trip. Was a perfect location to access the lake and trails and is located close to the casino for some dinning options when we wanted to drive. Sauna was a nice bonus and can only imagine the property is as nice come the summer months.
