Great Getaway

We had a wonderful time. The house was amazing. It was very spacious, and well equipped. We loved the fact there was a boat slip/ dock to bring our boat for fishing. The golf courses nearby were amazing as well. The communication with the owners was great. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.

Rendezvous

We had a wonderful week at the lake. The summer home had fabulous accommodations. Everything was clean and well kept. The boat lift was a plus, not having to worry about waves or storms at night. The frontage road was a great place for morning walks. We all agree that we would stay again.

Great Family Vacation

Great property inside and out. The cabin is set up well to be able to have quiet time or get together indoors in the rec room if weather doesn’t cooperate. Outdoors is private with beautiful views and good fishing right from the dock. Would definitely book this property again

Boy's Annual Fishing Getaway

This is the second year in a row that we've stayed MA's Shed! Like our last stay, we had a wonderful time. The kids love the rec room, playing outside and jumping in the lake. They enjoy fishing off the pier too. We had perfect weather and the fishing was outstanding! We enjoyed smoking a cigar by the fire pit while taking in the afternoon lake views. Grilling on the patio is so convenient when everyone wants to be outside! We look forward to booking our next stay for 2024!

Vermillion Vacation House

This was the second time we have rented this place. We were very happy with the rental, everything was seamless from booking to check out. One of the nicest places we have stayed, great location on the lake and close to local services. There is lots of room in this rental and nicely laid out, very comfortable. Dock space was adequate for 4 boats, trailer parking was ok. The only down side is being only to rent this property for 6 days instead of 7, the extra day would have been nice. All in all a great place, will not hesitate to book again. Thank you, Tom W

Nice for family gathering

Annual Boy's Fishing Getaway!

Our stay was OUTSTANDING! This was our fourth year doing our boy's fishing getaway and by far it has been the best! Eveything about this house is amazing. They really thought about everything! Flashlights ready to go, a convenient fish cleaning station, toilet paper, garbage bags, dish soap, propane gas grill and the list goes on! We enjoyed sitting on the dock and swimming , the boat lift was great and hanging out around the fire pit during the late evenings was so much fun! The house was very clean and everything about it was great! Plenty of parking as well. The only way our stay would have been better is if the house had central air conditioning. However, there were many fans around the house that kept us comfortable during the 90 degree summer afternoons. We will surely be re-booking our 5th annual boy's fishing getaway next year! Keep up the great work!

Wonderful Property and Location!

The property is absolutely beautiful, both the home and the landscape. We were there in mid-October and put the sauna to great use. The home was impeccably clean, with plenty of beds/bedrooms and the owners were very responsive throughout our stay. I would highly recommend.

NO AC - Too many. Place is covered in spider webs. Dangerous path to the lake. Broken boat lift.

Very warm during our stay. No AC which made it tough on the kids. One of fans did not work either. Boat lift broke the first day, took 2 days to get fixed - now my boat is all scratched from being tied to the dock. Broken main patio large outer window - shape glass pieces not even covered over. Owner knew it was broken and NEVER informed us. I had to clean the outside of building of spiders, webs and bugs by main patio to try to keep spiders out of cabin - they are everywhere inside. Crickets as well. No swim area by dock. Dangerous and scary steps to lake, if you slip at all your going to get hurt.

Fun family vacation!

We loved our stay on Lake Vermilion. The cabin comfortably accommodated our family of 11 with plenty of space to spread out. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed . The owner was friendly and very responsive. Lake Vermilion is a premier Minnesota Lake with lots to see and do. We fished, swam, water skied, tubed and explored the many islands and DNR shore lunch spots. We also visited the International Wild Center and Soudan Underground Mine. The mine tour was an adventure! I highly recommend this property!

In 2010, our family built a cabin on Big Bay and we’ve enjoyed many years making memories: swimming, fishing, boating, snowmobiling and much more!

There is no place we would rather be than at Vermilion.

We wanted to share our lake experience with others, so we purchased this property in the fall of 2016. 2017 was the first season this property was available for rent. Come visit Lake Vermilion and start making your own memories!

Why they chose this property

Attention to detail and the love of the lake will shine through as you enjoy your time at MA’s SHED on Lake Vermilion.

What makes this property unique

Perfect for fishing groups or family escape on beautiful Big Bay with plenty of room to stretch out. Large lot suitable for lawn games or relaxing around campfire. Catch walleyes off new 48' dock.
