About this property
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 • Pet-friendly
'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!

This is the 2nd time we rented Reggies Retreat and it is the perfect set up for our snowmobiling group. There is plenty of space to park trucks and trailers. The snowmobile trail is only a few blocks away and having access to the heated tuckunder garage for gear storage and getting geared up is priceless. With 6 people putting on and taking off boots, helmets, jackets etc its nice to have the space to spread out and keeps the snow and wetness in the garage. The host is super responsive when messaging, the house is clean and the kitchen is stocked with essentials. Definitely recommend!
A great north woods retreat that has thought carefully about welcoming furry four legged friends. We had a cozy family reunion along with a dog who felt right at home!
Everything was just as advertised and what we expected. It was clean, easy to access, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for five travelers. Easy access to Fortune Bay and the Wilderness golf course.
This property is great, very close to snowmobile trails and downtown Tower. We had 10 adults and 4 dogs and we had plenty of room. The garage is heated and spacious as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Hi, I'm Alicia!
Why they chose this property
This house is located on an absolutely perfect lot. It's in a residential neighborhood and close to main street, but can't be seen from the road and is so private since it's surrounded by woods. There is plenty of room for kids and dogs to run and play in the yard and since the property is so close to Lake Vermilion and so many other popular Northern Minnesota activities, I knew that other visitors and their families would also enjoy making memories here.
What makes this property unique
There is no better place to enjoy Northern Minnesota!
