Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

“It was close to trails, state parks, and Ely. The house was super clean and provided plenty of amenities. It comfortably slept our guests and pets. There were great gathering areas, plenty of bathrooms, and lots ofTVs.” That’s how one guest described their stay at Reggie’s Retreat, our four-bedroom, three-bath home in Tower. Bring your sleds or ATVs. There’s trailer parking and an attached garage for gear, plus a shaded deck with a gas grill. Lake Vermilion is nearby for fishing
