Cabin holiday rentals in Lake Vermilion

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

This cabin was wonderful. It fulfilled our needs while we were visiting family in the area. Location on the lake provided some beautiful sunsets. The host was great for communication. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful space, everything was clean and worked great. Hot tub and sauna are great amenities. Very private. Aaron was responsive and is a great host!

The home was so comfy with thoughtful details to make each area of the home just perfect. We loved all the special decor touches. We went to relax and got that for sure. Deer coming into the yard while we were using the outdoor hot tub was an unexpected delight.

The property is as in the photos, very spacious in the inside. Right on the water, only a minute or two from downtown Ely, but worlds away from the City. Nice setting, plenty of room for all in your group. Multiple levels, built to enjoy being on the lake, so many nice touches, and the kitchen is well stocked, with plenty of glasses/plates and everything required to feel at home. Plenty of towels! Hot tub is in a private setting! Second floor is reached by open stairway, includes an open area overlooking first floor, that includes conversation area with futon, and large bedroom with great view of sunrise and attached bathroom with shower and large jetted tub. We were just two, and felt comfortably together, larger groups will not feel crowded, and two cars can park in the garage, and they provide two remote garage door openers, so you do not have to get out of your car to open or close the garage door. Truly is like having your own place in the woods, if you were a millionaire!

This cabin is a gem! Our family felt right at home and loved every minute spent here. We saw amazing signs of wildlife by day and enjoyed the cozy fireplace, sauna, and stunning night sky by night. Our hosts communicated clearly with us about getting to the cabin, but it’s worth mentioning that you might need AWD to get to the cabin in winter. If you want a picture-perfect, quiet spot to recharge, this is it. Book it and enjoy!

This is a great place. Super nice, huge indoor space for plenty of people. I will be returning. Daniel

We loved and enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place right on the Lake.Everything we needed for our stay was there and Heidi was very quick to get back at us when we needed help.We hope to come back again.

This is the best cabin I’ve ever stayed at Erik is so nice and helpful everything we expected at more needs better pictures to do it justice

Great cabin — comfortable, clean, quiet. Well-appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated interior. Spacious rec room with a very large screen TV. Easy access to boat dock. Mike, the owner, was staying in another cabin close by, he was extremely helpful and friendly. The cabin itself is in the community of Crane Lake, on the water. It sits in a row of similar cabins. A small store (fisherman-oriented) and couple of bar/restaurants are nearby, easily walkable. We used this as a base for day trips (hiking and canoeing) into Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters. You can also walk to and hike the Vermillion Gorge Trail from the cabin — recommended.

Stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Giant’s Ridge ski resort with a couple buddies of mine. The cabin was accurate to the description and is tidy. A few ants roaming around upon arrival as expected with a cabin in the superior national forest. Otherwise clean place. Nice and warm, well heated. Has a wood burning stove more for ambiance. The running water had the classic up north lake water smell, but that is also to be expected. Terra was responsive and helpful. Nothing to complain about if you’re looking for a boundary waters cabin experience. I would definitely come back for a summer trip to fish and kayak.

If willing to make the drive away from all signs of civilization, whether it be for golfing, skiing, camping, roadtripping or otherwise, Jody’s place will always come out on top. The Bear Den Lodge exceeded all expectations, and had so many fun touches throughout the place in addition to its reliable amenities. My party made use of most offerings such as the screened hut, sauna, grill, large backyard, game room, washer/dryer, and the fancy bath tub! There were hardly any issues, the place was pristinely prepared, welcoming to guests and bears (only fake ones), and secluded. The only problem that occurred was a fire alarm being set off by the grilling we did. Due to the location of the grill, it may be more susceptible to triggering the fire alarm. To combat this, we opened a few windows in the front of the house (away from the grill), and turned on all fans and air control units (which were excellently reliable). In short, tremendous place, and I would certainly revisit!

Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Well appointed kitchen with just the right equipment to be able to cook nice meals. Setting was beautiful, we really enjoyed watching the house birds and the changing weather on the water.

This house was the perfect hub for nature exploration in Koochiching and Superior National Forest! It was very clean, cozy and quite luxurious compared to other accommodations we’ve stayed at in the area, but still reasonably priced for 3 bedrooms. Appreciated the host being quick to respond and flexible with our dates.

Nothing but amazing. Plenty of sheets, towels, etc. Pots and pans along with solverware, and cooking utensils were in great shape. Bonus was the wood stove. Plan to come back again!

Host was kind enough to cover bag of firewood. Bedding was provided, and so was basic kitchenware. The listing indicated no "essentials" and I didn't realize there were no towels available.

We had a wonderful stay at Michael's lakeside retreat. The photos represented it well and we were especially pleased with the detailed directions for the route off the highway. The fireplace was a treat. Our only struggle was remembering which switches controlled which lights… even though many of them were labeled, we still had to guess/remember several times. The heaters in each room were effective and the kitchen was well-stocked. We certainly recommend Michael's North Bay Getaway.

My husband and I loved staying here for our anniversary trip and we were thankful to be allowed to bring our dogs here as well! I loved how peaceful the area was and relaxing in front of the wood burning stove after a long day of hiking. I do wish there had been a curtain over the window where the bed is as you can see another cabin from it, but other than that, no complaints. We definitely plan on staying here again!

Clean, homey, private and beautiful surroundings. We appreciate that the hosts and the home are super kid friendly as well as dog friendly. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for the whole family. The hosts are very prompt at responding and took extra time adding a couple sweet little touches that were personalized to us. We will be back to stay at this home in the future!

Landy's place was a quaint, and rustic cabin in the gorgeous and pristine setting of the Northwoods. We loved waking up to the fog rising from the Lake, and having our morning coffee by the water. Described as expected, with no electricity or running water we packed as if we were tent camping and we felt prepared for our stay. Our family stayed up late by the light of kerosene lamps playing cards. It was a great bonding experience and a welcome get away from wifi and technology. The boat rental was a plus, and locals were very friendly and welcoming to us.

We loved our stay at Tad’s cabin on Wakemup Bay! The kitchen was fabulous, and well stocked to make cooking easy. The beds were very comfortable. When we unexpectedly lost power, Tad came to check on us. The power outage was wide spread, and due to wind… nothing to do with the cabin. Tad or Ruby replied quickly if we had a question, and communication was great. We played lots of pool, and went fishing everyday. My son was thrilled with the northern pike, walleye and small mouth bass he caught. It is great swimming off the dock, and I appreciated the stairs up to the dock! The area is quieter than other places we’ve stayed, and we really liked that. We could walk our dog right from the cabin, and there were grassy areas for her to play. We definitely would love to return next summer! Thank you Tad!

This was the perfect home for my 3 sons and myself as we had an event in Hibbing. Gary and Jill were excellent hosts, easy communication along with clear instructions. The cabin is clean and comfortable. We intend to be back next year at the same time.
