About this property
Northern Paradise on Lake Vermilion - Year Round Home
Lake Vermilion year round home that sleeps up to 6 people. Perfect location and views on the east side of the lake. Located in the narrows off of Pike Bay.
Lake Vermilion is a premier lake in Minnesota with world class fishing! Walleye, pike, bass are all good and the muskie fishing is world class! (50+ inch class are plentiful in this lake).
Other local attractions include hiking (trail nearby), several local bar/restaurants that are within boating distance, casino at Fortune Bay, golf, many activities in Ely, and mountain biking at Giants Ridge. Lake Vermilion is also an excellent winter destination for ice fishing and snowmobiling, and downhill skiing at Giants Ridge.

Once snowmobiles are on the lake, feel free to park at the shoreline and walk up to the cabin. Thank you for understanding!

About the host
Hosted by Sean Holmgren
Holmgren Family of 4. Lake Vermilion has quickly become our favorite Minnesota lake. We love fishing, swimming, dogs, nights by the fire, mountain biking, downhill skiing, dirt bikes and 4-wheeling, and anything that keeps us busy and active.
Why they chose this property
The location and views cannot be beat. We have visited every inch of this large lake and the Tower area is simply the best.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful views, great lakeside deck, and new dock. Smaller, private bay protected from the wind and Big Bay waves. This home and has been partially updated and is family friendly.
Great trail systems less than a 1/2 mile from our driveway. This property is within boating, driving and walking distance to multiple boat launches, public swimming beaches, restaurants, and stores. Virginia is a quick 25 minute drive for Target, Menards, Super One, and a sporting goods store. Fortune Bay Casino offers premier golfing at The Wilderness (rated #2 in Minnesota and #7 in the nation!).
