ABOUT LAKE VERMILION: Lake Vermilion is a vast, scenic lake in northern Minnesota, stretching over 40,000 acres with more than 365 islands and 1,200 miles of shoreline—more than the coast of California! It’s known for its crystal-clear waters, rugged pine-covered shores, and endless opportunities for fishing, boating, and exploring. The lake lies on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, giving it both a wild, untouched feel and modern accessibility. Lake Vermilion, often called ‘the Lake of the Sunset Glow’ is a premier northern Minnesota destination. Its sparkling blue waters weave between hundreds of islands, creating secluded coves, sandy beaches, and breathtaking views. Visitors enjoy world-class walleye and muskie fishing, pontoon cruises, kayaking, and starlit evenings around the fire. Lake Vermilion is the perfect blend of wilderness adventure and resort-style relaxation.
ABOUT NORTHEAST MINNESOTA: Northeast Minnesota is a place where nature, community, and tradition come together. Life here revolves around the great outdoors, from fishing and boating in the summer to snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter.

The area has a rich cultural heritage influenced by Scandinavian, Finnish, German, and Ojibwe traditions, reflected in local foods, crafts, and festivals. Residents value community, hospitality, and slowing down to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. You’ll notice this in small-town friendliness, family traditions, and seasonal celebrations. Each season brings its own charm: colorful fall foliage, festive winter carnivals, sunny lake adventures in summer, and the fresh bloom of spring’s wildlife and maple syrup events. Visitors are drawn to the peace, natural beauty, and strong sense of tradition, making every stay truly memorable.
