Summary: Quaint cabin settles deep in the north woods on Lake Vermilion. Situated on a bank overlooking the lake this cabin offers stunning views and fresh breezes year round. Just a short set of stairs to the lake where you'll find a sandy beach and three large docks.
21 foot Bennington pontoon available for guests to rent at $200 per day. Reach out after booking to reserve.
The Space: This cabin was built for rentals around 1953 and has hosted thousands of families over the years. Since we purchased it in 2017 we have done some updates but the overall charm is not lost.
The Neighborhood: With 25 steps to the water we do not recommend renting if you have mobility issues. The property owners and other guests at the property may have dogs off leash.
Other Things to Note: This cabin is one of three on our property and Bayview Lodge is located to the East of our property. During summer months there is an outdoor bar at Bayview Lodge and despite the large fence it is something that you can generally hear when outdoors. They are great neighbors and shut things down by 10 pm but if you don't want to hear or see other people this property is not for you.
Interaction with Guests: We have a home on the property and are usually available. Although we're close we understand that people come up here for privacy and always respect their space.

Outstanding experience with owners and the property. We had originally reserved a smaller cabin but they had begun closing it up for the winter and generously gave us a larger space for same price. Cabin was very clean and came with everything needed for our four night fishing trip. We were very pleased with our stay and will be reserving next year too. Excellent choice for anyone looking for a property on the Tower end of the lake. Owners were easy to communicate with and made sure our needs were met.
Our cabin was located right next door to Tavern on the Bay which was HQ for our fishing tournament. Roy and his wife were great and the 6 day stay was fantastic!
We had a wonderful time enjoying the cabin, beach and the pontoon. Also, loved that it’s dog friendly! The hosts are incredible - so kind, helpful and personable. Couldn’t have asked for a better week.
The property and hosts (Denise, Roy and Otto) were tremendous! Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location and the fishing was great, our stay was much too short! Looking forward to our trip next year. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and loves fishing
The cabin was clean with a clear view and access of the lake, the property owners were great, our puppy had a great time learning to swim. The living room was extremely narrow and hard to maneuver around with 2 people and a puppy, but there were big windows to take in the view. Beds were comfortable, kitchen equipped with all the essentials including heat and cooling, it was quiet at night. I would recommend this to anyone who's visit is primarily for fishing or just desiring spending their time on the lake as there is not much beach space. There is ample dock space and a nice pontoon boat to rent by the day. Dogs being welcome as long as they are controlled was a huge plus factor for us as was the convenient tavern/eatery next door.
My 2 teen age grandsons (14 & 17) made our 2nd annual grouse hunting trip to Northern MN.
Despite rainy conditions, they had a great time, bringing 8 ruffed grouse back to Blaine, MN to share with family! Yum!
Cabin was just as listed in VRBO—older but clean, comfortable beds, nice appliances. Owners pleasant and helpful.
Thank you!
We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. The on site hosts Roy and Diane were fantastic! Courtney was great getting us set up and booked and gave us excellent directions to the cabin and precise information regarding check in, The view was great and there is even a bar/ restaurant just feet away. It was peaceful and serene. Our neighboring cabin folks caught their limit daily! We would definitely go back again.
The cabin was clean, roomy enough to sleep five adults, with Wi-Fi, TV, and great dock access. Roy was a great host, giving us plenty of helpful fishing tips. We really enjoyed our stay.
The cabin needs some improvements
The bathroom fluorescent light does not work. The basic items like soap, wash cloths, salt and pepper were not furnished. The kitchen needs more glasses.
It would have been small for a lot of people but I loved staying here. Especially important to me was the swimming, deep, cold, excellent swimming. The onsite management was excellent, Denise is terrific. I loved the relaxed attitudes about dogs!
It’s an old-style, knotty pine cabin with all the basics provided ( like towels, TP, all kinds of utensils, dish pan and drying rack). A nice deck is wrapped around the lakeside of the cabin was lovely to sit on and watch the Lake. I was lucky it was a quiet week, It’s not secluded —right over the fence there’s Tavern on the Bay, with OK food and decent live music, but, since I ended up there alone with my dog, I liked that. (They’re quiet after ten.)
Overall, I was really pleased with this place, I would return.
The owners are the sweetest and make sure you have everything you need! The cabin is 1 of 3 on the property, they also have some campers parked on the property. Everything is spaced out pretty well though, very large piece of land for on the water to accommodate everyone. It was quiet and it was nice that their was a restaurant close by. We loved our stay!
Quaint charming cabin with everything you need and very close proximity to restaurants and entertainment. We are into fishing primarily and this location was ideal for us. Beautiful sunsets each evening and the view from the cabin was perfect. The hosts Denise and Roy are fantastic and so easy to talk to and were there if anything was needed.
Rustic cabin, with Great Lake Vermilion views. Hosts are nearby, very friendly and welcoming. Dogs are very welcomed.
Things to be aware of… all beds are bunk bed style or a futon. As described you are not secluded. Multiple campers and cabins near by, and all share 4 docks, and beach area. Plumbing and electrical functional but rustic. Not ideal for individuals with limited mobility, because of steep decent to water, and cabin has narrow spaces. Kitchen has all your basic cooking needs.
All in all a nice weekend getaway to relax and take in the local attractions!
Wonderful cabin. Great hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. . Great location. Close enough to everything we needed. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for two parents, three teens and a dog. Loved every minute of it. Was sad to have to leave. Made us feel very much at home. Thank you for the use of your lovely cabin.
Excellent hosts and location. Hiking and biking trails are just a short distance away, fishing was excellent and golfing at the local resort was perfect.
We were very impressed with the amenities: very comfortable and spacious beds, good water pressure and plenty of hot water, very nice stove, micro wave, fridge, etc etc.
Our hosts Roy and Denise were extremely friendly and accommodating. And, of course, the Vermillion Lake setting is spectacular. We all had a great time.
The cabin was on the smaller side, but very clean and plenty big for my family of 3. The view from the cabin was amazing and Denise & Roy are amazing hosts! They were very friendly and talking to them was just like we were there visiting old friends. We rented a boat from a local place and were able to keep it right there on one of their docks for the week - so coinvent! We had an amazing stay and hope we can return again next summer!

Hosted by Petersons and Naabs
Cort and Roy have been visiting the lake for 25 years. Roy recently retired and lives in a cabin next door.
Why they chose this property
We already owned the cabin next door and used it as a VRBO rental. When the owners talked about selling this cabin we knew we wanted to buy it.
What makes this property unique
It's the closest corner of Lake Vermilion to the Twin Citis, almost 1 hour closer than where we used to go when growing up. In addition the drive to Cook or Tower for supplies is incredibly easy. There is an amazing amount of things to do in the area and the whole family loves spending time up here.
