Nice cabin for 4 people
The cabin was recently updated upstairs and was very nice for 4 people. The mattresses were very comfortable and we all slept well. The only air conditioning unit is in the living room, but we left it on and kept the bedroom doors open with a fan so we could stay cool at night.
The basement had a nice sauna and shower that we used, however it was very musty smelling and we wouldn’t recommend sleeping down there, even though there are 2 beds down there.
The dock wasn’t usable due to high water, but the hosts helped us find a place to keep our boat at Aronson Boat Works just 2 miles away. They were amazingly helpful in getting our boat on the water every day. We highly recommend them!
Overall, I would recommend this place for up to 4 people. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful!

Fall fishing
A lovely cabin in the woods. Very clean, beautiful view, lots of space. Very responsive hosts. We did end up moving the boats to a marina- even with the map the bay is a challenge to navigate- Especially for big, deeper draft boats.

Quiet piece of heaven
Lake Vermilion is a large popular lake, but this house is tucked in the river so it’s private and quiet. If you can manage your boat it’s a simple ride into the lake where fishing, swimming, restaurants are all just a boat ride away. The house is adorable, upstairs is nicely updated. It was very cozy and we felt at home. Bonus was we could bring our dogs! Couldn’t even tell if neighbors were around. We were sad when our week ended. Would gladly come back again. The hosts were responsive and very accommodating.

The cabin was setup very nicely. Navigating the waterway on this area of the lake is a little tricky with all the rocks. Overall it was a nice experience. Great location with easy access to the Y store, Tower, Tavern in the Bay and VC.

Poor Location/Nice little cabin
Owner replied to questions right away. Check in/Check out was very easy. Property was clean and beds were comfortable. The biggest draw back for us was the location. There is not a view of the lake and we strongly recommend not docking a boat at the property. The Vermilion Dam comes in right by the property and the channel is filled with big boulders. Not ideal for swimming either as the water looks like root beer.
