About this property

🌲 Cozy Cabin Retreat with Lake Views adventure in Every Season

Escape to our charming cabin, tucked away in the woods with a stunning view of the Lake Vermilion. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled trip, this cabin is the perfect four-season destination.
🛶 Summer & Fall • Spend warm days fishing, boating, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water. Explore nearby ATV and side by side trails, or tackle a scenic drive into Ely, MN for unique shopping, dining, and small town charm. As the leaves change, the cabin offers front-row views of brilliant fall colors. ❄️ Winter • When the snow falls, the adventure continues! Ride right from the cabin onto snowmobile and cross-country ski trails (Tower), or head to Giants Ridge for world-class downhill skiing and snowboarding. After a days outdoors, cozy up by the "fire" and watch the snow blanket the pines. 🌸 Spring • As the ice melts, enjoy peaceful mornings listening to loons call across the lake. Spring is perfect for fishing, hiking, and browsing antique shops in nearby towns. It's a quiet, refreshing season to reconnect with nature. ✨ The Cabin • Our cabin blends rustic charm with modern comforts. Nestled in the woods, it's private yet close to everything you need. Watch the sunrise over the lake, sip coffee on the deck, and let the stress of everyday life melt away. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a romantic escape, or an adventure with friends, our cabin is your ALL-SEASON HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
**Warning:** We may encounter potentially dangerous animals, so please be cautious when cleaning fish. Don’t leave the gutting outside in the woods. The local anglers clean their fish at the shoreline and let the crawfish eat it. We’re in the middle of the woods, and we want to minimize the risk of inviting these animals closer.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Remote Quiet Getaway

Great place to stay near lake Vermillion. Very clean and well maintained. If you bring a big boat, it is a little challenging to turn around in the yard. The deck is great. Kids loved the game room. Sauna was a bonus.

Fun filled time

My family had the best time. The cabin was beautiful and well equipped with whatever you need. My kids and i loved the game room. Cabin was roomy and had a great deck . 5 mins away from numerous public lake access which made it easy to come and go. Restaurants right down the road for a quick drink or dinner. Definitely would book again in the future. The host was easy to communicate with. Thank you

Wonderful Getaway

My friends and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Vermillion Views. The property was everything we were expecting and provided us a lot of room to hang outside, use the game room/garage and host a larger group with no issues. We would certainly stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Eva Salminen

Host profile image
Our family has always believed that the best memories are made around the water and in the great outdoors. This cabin has been our little piece of Northwoods heaven - where mornings start with coffee on the deck, afternoons filled with fishing, boating, or hitting the trails, and evenings end with sunsets over the lake. We love sharing this cabin because it offers more than just a place to stay - it's a chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of northern Minnesota in every season. From the charm of nearby Ely and antique shops to the excitement of Giants Ridge mountain biking, skiing, and snowmobiling, theirs is something here for everyone. Hosting gives us so much joy because we know every guest is creating their own story - family laughs by the fire, first - time snowmobile adventures, peaceful fishing mornings, or cozy weekends away. It means the world to us to be. a small part of those memories.
