Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

Just steps away from thousands of miles of Northern Minnesota's best snowmobile/ATV trails. Located just a few miles from world-class golfing, hiking and fishing and only 22 miles from the nearest BWCA entry point. Tons of parking for all your toys and trailers!

• Charming, Private Home in the heart of Tower
• 4 Bedrooms | 3 Full Bathrooms | 1,800 SF
• Plenty of Room for Parking
• Large, Shaded Back Deck
• Fully Equipped Kitchen
• On-Site Washer and Dryer
• High-Definition Smart TV’s

'Reggie's Retreat' is a hidden gem of a house, less than a mile (.8 miles) from Lake Vermillion and just a few blocks (a 6 minute walk) from Tower's Main Street. This nicely decorated 2-story home boasts a private yard with a firepit, a back deck with outdoor seating and is located just steps away from all that Northern Minnesota and Lake Vermilion have to offer.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 separate living rooms, there is plenty of space for you and the whole crew - including the dogs! All bedrooms were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, and each include a Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. You will find gorgeous, handcrafted furniture throughout – made from Minnesota’s very own Northern Pines. We even had a log dog bed made for any pup “extra” enough to claim it during their stay!

The kitchen includes all the cooking necessities, and we keep the coffee bar stocked. Grill up a homemade meal to enjoy on the deck after a full day of fun in the sun (or snow)! We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, plus a huge collection of board games for those days you’d rather stay in. There is plenty of parking for your winter and water toys and a heated 2-car garage, perfect for those Northern Minnesota winters.

Dogs are eternally welcome at Reggie’s Retreat, and we do not discriminate based on breed or size. We ask that dogs are not left in the yard unattended (note – the yard is not fenced-in) and that they are crated if left in the house without a human attendant. Dogs must also be housebroken and current on all vaccinations. We have food/water bowls, dog beds and plenty of blankets and towels just for our K9 guests to use.

The Town of Tower is on the smaller side, but you’ll be within walking distance to a couple of bar n’ grills, an espresso café, ice-cream shop and Zup’s grocery store for all the essentials. Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, the famous, 5-star golf course, are just a 12-minute drive away. Easy access to the nearby towns of Ely and Cook with additional shops and restaurants. Endless outdoor activities also in close proximity, including fishing, boating, hiking, and snowmobiling, just to name a few!

*Our home may not be suitable for those with severe pet allergies*
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Nice, clean and quiet in a great locati9n.

Fairly secluded within a couple block walk to downtown Tower. Group of guys north for golfing had a great time. Had an issue with internet access but the host was right on it. While it says sleeps 12, it would be tight unless spouses come with. There are 6 beds, many of them capable of sleeping 2, but this group of guys sleep in their own beds. There is room to set up inflatables. Thats the only thing incam say anywhere near critical of the property. Id stay here again in a heartbeat.Each room has a TV.Keep in mind, youre in northern Mn so many city comforts are just not available. But this is why i like going north, to get away.Benchwarmers nar and grill is a short roughly 2 block walk. And one of the best breakfast locations is .4 miles away, good ol days cafe. Zupa grocery is only open until 6pm in tower.The property is fairly secluded, or atleast it felt.that way. We may consider this property next winter if we do a big snowmobile ride.Book with confidence, property is nice and host is fantastic.

Exceeded Expectations

Reggie’s retreat was an amazing place to stay. The dog friendly touches like water bowls and poo bags were very much appreciated. Hiking trail in walking distance and close to Lake Vermilion where we fished a couple days. The rooms were pristine and the kitchen was great. Would highly recommend!

Great location

We loved the privacy on the deck and the location was great. We were only a short, couple of minutes, drive away from the boat landing. We had a dog and a 3 year old along with 6 adults. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed, including some games. It was pretty warm during our trip (upper 80s) so not having AC wasn't ideal but we didn't go up there to sit in the cabin all day. Plus there were box fans provided for every room. We just set those up in the open windows and it was comfortable to sleep at night. I hughly recommend visiting the Vince Schutte Bear Sanctuary if you're looking for something to do outdoors during your stay. Instructions from the host were accurate and clear so we had no issues arriving and checking in. Very clean and well kept cabin.

We were in the area for my daughter's graduation, and since she lives in Tower, thought this property would be a good option for my extended family of 6 to stay since it was within walking distance of my daughter's apartment. It exceeded all expectations! Alicia is a fantastic host and is extremely prompt in her communication, the house is beautiful, clean, well appointed, and in a lovely neighborhood. Wonderful all the way around!
