Beautiful property with all the amenities. The bunkhouse worked perfectly for our extended family to stay with us, but yet have their own privacy. Loved the lake view and campfires! Thank you for being great hosts!

Perfect Family Vaca

The cabin is in a perfect location, very clean and the host are always available for questions. My husband appreciated how close the landing was to the cabin and I liked the dock / sandy bottom lake shore. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Place

Jerry welcomed us and made us very comfortable with the beautiful location we rented on Lake Vermilion. Spent a few nights in early October to fish and the location on the lake was wonderful (very central and a beautiful point with great views). Cottage was charming and very comfortable for our group. Look forward to making it back next year.

Beautiful property

Had an amazing long fishing weekend here and would absolutely come back. Beautiful property and fit the needs of our group of five wonderfully. We appreciated how clean and furnished it was. Excellent dock that could accommodate both of our fishing boats. Jerry was easy to communicate with and a great host.

Serenity

Quintessential Minnesota cabin, comfortably furnished, with all the amenities needed to enjoy a week at the lake. The cabin, bunkhouse, sauna, and dock are in great shape and the yard is large and beautiful. Jerry was a fabulous host and made it easy to enjoy our time together.

Great Place!

Thanks to Jerry for having us. The cottage was very nice and everything was as described. The entire property is beautiful, especially the back patio, dock and boat house. Jerry was very accommodating throughout our stay and checked in often to make sure we didn't need anything. He went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend this property. (maybe Jerry will sell it to me some day...lol)

Great mid-summer family vacation.

There was plenty of room inside the cottage and outside. We had a total of 6 people residing at the cottage. Our teen daughters had the opportunity to use the bunkhouse, offering a vacation within a vacation. The cottage was very clean and offered all the things we needed, from extra blankets, pots/pans, games, and basic utensils for even the simplest need. We especially enjoyed the ample lakefront with chairs to view the lakeside sunset and ample dock space. We sat for hours watching nature at it’s finest to fishing and catching a few fish (and crawdads).

Great Vacation Exceeding Expectations

It was even more than I expected and my husband, son-in-law, 2 brothers all liked this place very much. It had everything we needed and much more. We were there primarily to enjoy time together and get out in our boat which we usually manage to do about once a year. If you wanted more than fishing there was plenty available, too, such as many lovely places to sit outside or inside, cable T.V.,books, area information, games. The fishing was great fun and we had fresh fish to eat every day we were there. Jerry was very accomodating and their property was very clean, homey, well supplied with everthing needed. Also with all good beds, good appliances, nicely furnished and decorated. It was a very good vacation enjoyed by all of us!

Lovely in the Fall

We had the pleasure of spending our 40th Wedding Anniversary at The Cottage, on Lake Vermilion. This is much more than a cottage—it is a lovely home on the lake with lots of room. The home is nicely furnished as was the kitchen, and everything was very clean. It is situated in the middle of the lake, so it has great access to getting most anywhere on the lake. The area is beautiful in the fall. Jerry was an excellent host, and my husband joked that “Jerry is the perfect concierge—available when you need him and invisible when you don’t.” Hosts Jerry and Lori reside next door, but we really were able to enjoy this large venue and feel like “it was all ours” with plenty of privacy. We would highly recommend this property to others who wish to vacation at Lake Vermilion

Great cottage on a wonderful lake!

We had a great time at Jerry's cottage. The property is a quintessential lake cottage with a beautiful view of Frazer Bay, which is centrally located on Lake Vermilion. Jerry was so helpful, offering tips on the best lunch spots, how to navigate the lake, etc. It was a great place to stay!

Great family vacation

Fantastic property! So much room and everything we needed for a week away from the hustle and bustle. Kitchen is fully stocked, beds are very comfortable, and the house is big enough to spread out (and that was nice for a family of five adults). Jerry, the property owner is great and went above and beyond to make the week great!

Wonderful stay

We stayed for 9 days at this lovely property. We are a family of 4 & we have taken a lot of fishing trips over the years. This is out 3rd time to Vermilion. This property is perfection. The home itself is spotlessly clean, lovely northern decor, new beds, comfortable seating.....The hosts have supplied more then enough linens & towels for a family, kitchen is fully stocked, soaps, detergents, paper towels. They have thought of everything. Fantastic wifi. Ceiling fans for those hot days & baseboard heating for the cool nights. The dock is new. We had no problems tying up our 21" bass boat. The yard is huge & we enjoyed playing the yard games supplied. A lot of folks complain about poor fishing at Vermilion. We always do really well, but we fish for bass. A #4 or #5 Mepps thrown at the shoreline pulls in plenty of northern, smallmouth & walleye. I can't comment on the musky fishing. We had a wonderful time & we hope to return again. Thank you Jerry & Lori for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Great Place on the Lake

Jerry and Lori have a great cottage right by the water and were always available for anything that may come up. The house was exactly as described. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quiet place right on the water with easy access to the entire lake.

Great family stay over 4th of July

Jerry and Lori are great hosts. The house is stocked like one that someone actually lives in...not just a rental property. Jerry will hook you up with anything else that you require. The property is actually even better than the pictures. We had plenty of space for our party of 8. There is no A/C and we had the hottest days in the summer (mid 80's) but the cabin stayed relatively cool as it's shaded by the trees. There are a few ceiling fans and other floor fans available. Also, nights cooled things down nicely. Now only if the fish would've been biting... :-)
