About this property

Beautiful Private Island Getaway-Boat Rental Available!

Get away from it all at your own private island on Lake Vermilion! This rustic but charming cabin with lofted bed features a beautiful lakefront deck and fire pit, all tucked away in Minnesota's Northwoods. Also included is a separate bunkhouse with queen size bed with lake view out of every window! The main cabin has hot water for dishes and showers along with a well maintained outhouse. Close to public access and marina is only minutes away! Great central location on beautiful Lake Vermilion!

This beautiful log cabin encompasses all someone could wish for in a romantic getaway for two or a vacation for a small family to get away from all the distractions of everyday life. Wild blueberry plants cover the island and provide a nice bonus for some blueberry pancakes enjoyed on the lakefront picnic table (when in season!) A bag of locally roasted coffee is also included to make that first cup of coffee on the beautiful deck all that much better. Great fishing exists in any direction you go from the cabin including off the shoreline around the cabin. Walleyes and bass are plentiful and there is always the chance of hooking into a trophy musky!

Amazing-Little slice of heaven.
The property is absolutely gorgeous. It's a little slice of heaven, super private with amazing views. We had good luck fishing walleye. Property managers/caretakers were amazing to work with and easy to communicate with. Thank you so much for the amazing stay.

island vacation
The cabin is on an island with no other occupants, therefore, privacy. The cabin is a real log cabin and fitted together nicely, so no breezy drafts and nice windows. It was clean and well maintained with stove, refrigerator, running water, dishes and pots & pans. There was not good TV reception, but we weren't there to watch TV. The toilet was an outdoor jiffy; not a problem for me, but not a real plus for my wife. The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful.

Relaxation
Our stay was most relaxing. Place was super clean and had all the amenities you could ever need. Cool nights warm days made for the perfect stay. Enjoyed rocking chairs overlooking the lake. Bon fire in the evenings was just perfect.
