About this property
Large modern home on 8 private acres Pike River Flowage-Lake Vermilion Adjacent
NOTE: The Pike River Flowage is NOT a motor recreational body of water. Not good for jet skis or speed boats. Great for pontoon and small fishing boating, canoes, paddle boards, kayaks, and swimming.
Our place on the Pike River Flowage is set on 8.5 acres with over 900 feet of shoreline, has an escape-to-the-Boundary-Waters like feel as it is tucked in a majestic boreal forest on the headwaters of Lake Vermilion.
The main floor living area has a spacious open concept that includes a kitchen with a peninsula, a dining area with large table, and a spacious great room where natural light pours in from two story tall windows. This main area also includes a wood burning fireplace, a comfy living area, direct access to a spacious 3 season screened porch, and glass doors that open to a wrap-around lakefront deck with views of the crisp blue water and pristine undeveloped islands that dot the Flowage.
The main level also includes a guest room with a queen bed, separate laundry area, bathroom that includes a large tiled shower, and a quiet reading area with double futon.
In the lofted second floor there is a common room sitting area with a large television and access to streaming, a guest bedroom with a queen and twin bed, a full bathroom, and an ensuite primary bedroom with a king size bed, a private spa bath, and glass doors that open to a private deck overlooking the water.
On the grounds you will find over 8 acres of privacy, woods, walking trails, perennial gardens, and views you will never forget!
You hear that? That is the Pike River Flowage calling!

Perfect for our party of 11. Very comfy home in a rustic but beautiful rural setting. Central location to many area attractions. Thank you James for sharing!

About the host
Hosted by Molly & James Cave
Molly and James are from the Midway neighborhood of Saint Paul where Molly is a social worker, James is a high school teacher, and they raised 6 children. James's family first came to Vermilion in 1990 and owned Jackrabbit Island [just outside of Everett Bay].
Why they chose this property
In 2024 Molly and James decided to sell Jackrabbit Island and look for a cabin on lakes closer to the Twin Cities. After lots of looking they realized they were not happy with the quality of lakes or the lack of privacy they were finding. Having enjoyed the specialness of Vermilion and the north woods, Molly and James realized they needed to stay in the area.
