Cozy cabin in the woods

This is a remodeled lake house that is cozy and has beautiful lake views off the deck. It is nestled in a forest with a new bike trail a block away. It is close to the Soudan Underground Mine, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, and lots of state parks and national forest. The owners were great.

This place worked out perfectly.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It had everything we needed and was in a great location to travel around the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and the furniture was nice to relax in. The dock is set up well to power the boat and it isn't a long way from the house at all. Fish cleaning was easy with a big table near the dock. I would rent this home again.

Relaxing lake view

We had a nice time at this lake house. The views are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the the upper deck. The living room is small but very cozy and comfortable couches. We didn’t use the downstairs except to wash clothes, the stairs are very steep for us older folks. The kitchen could use some more microwaveable safe bowls for cooking and maybe an electric can opener for those of us with weak hands but everything else was good. The shower and toilet upstairs are very short so if you are tall like my husband you’ll have to bend over and it was hard for me to get off the toilet but it was clean and everything worked so it was all good. It was a quiet peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Vacation!

This lake home fit our family just right. Our 8 and 12-year-old kids said “there was so much to do!” It has lots of space in the lower level dedicated to playing games so they could entertain themselves when adults were busy. The best part of this home is definitely the deck. It has the most lovely view overlooking the lake and you literally feel like you’re in a tree house. The dock situation is great. We have a 19’ Lund and felt like it was safe the entire time (no dangerous boulders or strong waves). It’s tucked in the bay just enough. We swam in the lake multiple times but it’s best to have water footwear. The swim area is partly rocky and partly soft bottom but no weeds. There is a full flight of steps to the lake but they are well-built with railings. The kitchen is very well-stocked and we never were at a loss for anything. The entire house was extremely clean and comfortable. Best of all, the hosts are spot-on…from detailed instructions to being super responsive, it really seems like they are on top of it all. I would highly recommend! We already want to go back! It’s hard to find a vacation home that has it all AND allows dogs. Thank you so much, Sean and Amy!

Great week on the lake

Our second stay at the house was great, just like we remembered from last year. Very quick and easy to communicate with owners. It’s a convenient location, being close to boat launch and town, yet still able to get away from it all! Thanks so much for having the house open to rentals.

About the host

Hosted by Sean Holmgren

Holmgren Family of 4. Lake Vermilion has quickly become our favorite Minnesota lake. We love fishing, swimming, dogs, nights by the fire, mountain biking, downhill skiing, dirt bikes and 4-wheeling, and anything that keeps us busy and active.

Why they chose this property

The location and views cannot be beat. We have visited every inch of this large lake and the Tower area is simply the best.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, great lakeside deck, and new dock. Smaller, private bay protected from the wind and Big Bay waves. This home and has been partially updated and is family friendly.

Great trail systems less than a 1/2 mile from our driveway. This property is within boating, driving and walking distance to multiple boat launches, public swimming beaches, restaurants, and stores. Virginia is a quick 25 minute drive for Target, Menards, Super One, and a sporting goods store. Fortune Bay Casino offers premier golfing at The Wilderness (rated #2 in Minnesota and #7 in the nation!).
