About this property

“It was close to trails, state parks, and Ely. The house was super clean and provided plenty of amenities. It comfortably slept our guests and pets. There were great gathering areas, plenty of bathrooms, and lots ofTVs.” That’s how one guest described their stay at Reggie’s Retreat, our four-bedroom, three-bath home in Tower.

This home does not disappoint! It was clean (especially considering that up to four dogs are allowed) and spacious enough to allow the dogs some separation when that seemed like a good idea! The kitchen is well-equipped and spacious enough for a group to easily cook, eat, and relax together. The beds were comfortable, and it was so helpful to have 3 nice bathrooms. Great communication with our host, who responded very quickly to our questions! Our group would stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Alicia Hammond

Host profile image
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!
