About this property

Wakemup Narrows Northwoods Cabin On Beautiful Lake Vermilion MN

This cozy 3-bedroom cabin was lovingly built by our father and uncle in the 1960's and 70's. It is situated about 50 feet down a short path / staircase to the shore of beautiful Lake Vermilion with a great view of the sunset from the attached deck where you can hear loons calling in the evening.

The cabin is fully furnished with a king in Eagle Bedroom 1, two sets of custom-built pine bunkbeds in the middle Forest Animals Bedroom 2 and a hand-made pine double bed in the Fishing Bedroom 3.

The entire cabin has tongue-in-groove pine board walls and ceilings and newly refinished pine board floors. The great room features a log-burning fireplace and a wall of windows facing the lake with a comfortable green leather loveseat and matching chair and a pine dining table with room for 6.

The full kitchen is well-stocked with a stove, full refrigerator/freezer, microwave and plenty of dishes, utensils, pots & pans and small appliances. The tiled bathroom includes a flush toilet, shower, sink and large mirrored vanity with storage for bathroom essentials.

The property gets regular visits from local wildlife (many kinds of birds, frogs, deer, turtles, raccoons, mink and beavers, even an occasional pelican sighting). Don't be surprised if the friendly resident chipmunks want to make friends as they scrounge for (unsalted) peanuts.

It’s just a short walk to a small store where you can purchase candy or beverages (including bottle shop + on-water gas for boats). The owners live next door if you have questions or need something.

This place is amazing. It has everything one could possibly think of. The cabin is beautiful, cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Lisa and Phil were very pleasant. The location on the lake was perfect, so calm and not a lot of boat traffic. Made for sitting out on the deck very peaceful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and everyone. We plan to return to this little oasis! Thank you Lisa and Phil for your great hospitality!

Perfect for us!
This cabin is cozy and comfortable in every way, very clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with absolutely everything you could want or need and more! The hosts are friendly, helpful and accommodating. We especially appreciated their help with parking our 22’ boat. We loved the quieter location on the narrows, watching the loons, and especially a northern lights display one night. We’ve stayed at numerous VRBOs, and this definitely takes first place in how well it’s managed and cared for. We just left yesterday and are already booked for next year!

Lisa and Phil were the perfect hosts! The cabin is cozy and has everything you need. We had a great time and would recommend this without hesitation. Phil and Lisa went the extra mile replacing an inner tube for pulling kids behind boat which was a big highlight. I didn't bring my golf clubs and Phil allowed me to use his to play the Wilderness at Fortune Bay, amazing course and experience! Thank you again!
