About this property

Lake Vermillion's Pike Bay Prime Snowmobiling/Skiing/Fishing Location

This year-round cabin has stunning views and 120 feet of lakefront on incredible Lake Vermillion. Located right on the snowmobile trail and a huge parking area. Get away and create memories with family and friends with access to a private dock, patio, fire pit, large flat yard, and 2 decks. Newly renovated, 5 bedroom 3 bathroom, walk-out cabin at the end of a private road on Pike Bay. My wife, Amy, and I bought this unique 1980s-built cabin because we love cabin life and jumped at the opportunity to own it on well-known Lake Vermillion. The cabin is completely renovated and updated including all new appliances, new linens, and a fully stocked kitchen. Sauna is easy to heat up. Bring your boat or fish and swim from the large private dock on one of Minnesota's most beautiful lakes. Relax and enjoy the area for yard games, a large deck, and a patio. Try out the weber gas grill or Traeger smoker. Or enjoy the fire pit with sunset views on the 120' lakeshore. Rainy days you can spend indoors in the modern comfort designed cabin. With plenty of space to gather or to cozy up alone, rainy days will be enjoyed too.

Fish one of MN's best Walleye and Musky lakes both summer and winter. Lots of great restaurants to try nearby both boat up and drive up. Bring your golf clubs and enjoy The Wilderness Golf Club one of Minnesota's most beautiful golf courses just 3 miles away. Or, drive 30 minutes and play other courses like The Legend and The Quarry at Giants Ridge. Ski or mountain bike at Giants Ridge. Feeling lucky? Fortune Bay Casino is just minutes away. Bring your ATV or snowmobile as you will be surrounded by premier trails.

Great stay…. Few comments about the property… living/dining room smaller than expected, however great outdoor space. The kitchen was well stocked and every amenity available throughout the house. The spiral staircase is a bit tricky for little kids. Our bummer was the AC wasn’t working fully and it was very difficult to cool off the upstairs. The host, Luke was very responsive the entire time, yet was unable to get repair person out until 4 days later. Good thing it wasn’t the middle of summer… it was fixed at least for our last hot day. The dock and electric was ideal for the fishermen in our group.

About the host

Hosted by Luke Panek

Host profile image

Luke and I both grew up going to family cabins and love lake life. We have been married for 25 years and have 3 boys. Our boys kept us busy, especially with hockey, hunting and fishing, in their younger years. Now that they are all graduated from High School, Luke and I are living our dream of being cabin hosts. With the help of Luke's dad and our boys, we have been able to renovate 2 cabins for rental. We hope that we have renovated and thought of everything your family and friends need to create wonderful, lasting cabin time memories.

Why they chose this property

Lake Vermillion has the beautiful, peaceful feel of the Boundry Waters or Lake of the Woods without crossing the border or having to canoe /camp. It is a premier year round fishing lake. Along with the beauty and fishing, it is near so many other fun activities; casino, restaurants, golf, skiing, snowmobile trails, atv trails, mountain biking, and local shopping.
