Great fishing outing and stay
Some buddies and I took a long weekend fishing in Tower and not only caught a lot of fish, but cooked some gourmet meals and hung out at a phenomenal VRBO! The house and location are ideal, and Joy was a wonderful host! Kyle gave us some fishing tips and the kitchen was decked out with a six burner double oven Viking stove. Great fun and we’ll be back next year!

Annual Filan summer vacation
This property is absolutely beautiful! We have been coming to Lake Vermillion with our Grown children and their significant others the last 3 years and this was by far the best location and most comfortable home we have stayed in. The kitchen was spacious to cook in, the many different seating areas inside and outside made the experience even better! Kyle took the boys on a fishing trip one morning and they brought home 9 walleye and 1 huge perch for dinner! I am pretty sure our son gave him a few chuckles with all of his stories he had :) The bay was awesome for the family to tube and knee board, the yard area allowed for us to have bean bag and monkey ball tournaments and the fire pit was great for making smores. This property is a walk out to the lake with a nice dock, previous place we stayed had 160 stairs to get to the lake and that was no fun if you had to go up and down numerous times throughout the day. The kids golfef a couple times at Fortune Bay and visited the casino where our son came away with 4 different hand pays! This was by far a great experience and we made memories to last a life time! Thank you for opening your home to us and allowing us to have an amazing family vacation!

Great Time Snowmobiling 😃
We rented a cabin on lake Vermillion. The property was great, plenty of room, well organized, cozy and very affordable with our large group. The owners explained everything well. I would definitely rent this place again.

About the host

Hosted by Joy & Kyle Colbert

Host profile image
As owners of Lake Vermilion Houseboats on Lake Vermilion, we wanted to give our guests another option while staying with us. We are avid travelers ourselves and feel confident that we can help make your vacation as great as you want it to be! Originally from Iowa, both in the medical & dental fields, we want you to know that we are hard working genuine people who are also running a business on Lake Vermilion with our three young children. We may be incredibly busy, but never too busy for our guests as we are just a couple of miles down the road.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love this property as we feel you will too! Large outdoor spaces for relaxing and grilling. As well as large indoor spaces too. A gourmet kitchen anyone would love to cook in. Beverage station in kitchen is awesome so that people aren’t bumping elbows. Separate living room and Great Room both host large sectional couches, plenty of space for everyone!

The loft area above the garage is THE hangout for adults or kids!! Heated garage in winter is a major plus, in-floor heat is also a beautiful addition. In the off season, this is the most quiet place to relax and unplug! The separate Bunk House is another area for privacy as well for older kids or adults.

With the central location on Lake Vermilion, off a paved highway down a winding Red Pine lined road, you'll find solace here. Quick easy access, plenty of parking, close to local bars/restaurants, the town of Cook or the town of Tower. Within 15 to 30 minutes you could be doing some or all of the things! Mini golf, to a gorgeous 18 hole golf course with casino, to shopping in Ely or visiting museums, to hiking or biking or just enjoying being on the water!

What makes this property unique

Within walking distance to Tavern in the Bay restaurant/bar. 105' of natural pebble beach all to your own! Centrally located on Lake Vermilion off a hard surface road makes it super easy to find and super convenient if you wish to leave the property to do some exploring!
