The cabin has an absolutely beautiful view over the lake especially the sunsets. Good proximity to a boat ramp and to town for gas and groceries. Cabin is well kept with lots of room inside. The wrap around porch is wonderful. There is lots of wildlife around and deer will walk right up the driveway to the cabin.
We had a great stay! The highlight was the incredible views out of every space in this natural light filled gem of a cabin. It worked great for our family of 5.
Beautiful and functional place—very comfortable for cooking, reading, playing games, and just relaxing. Everyone in my party loved it and hopes to return. The beds are comfortable and the place is well-stocked with most things you might need. Three things to note: 1) The home has no ceiling fans or central air, and it’s impossible for the little AC unit in the living room to keep the main floor (living area or primary bedroom) cool when it’s hot and humid out. Maybe bring extra fans if you are sensitive to heat? 2) While the main floor is fine, the loft and the grounds are not ideal for people with any mobility limitations. 3) The dock is great for fishing and relaxing, but isn’t suitable for docking a boat for any length of time.

Hi Jenny, thanks so much for staying for the great review! We always appreciate the feedback. Yes, we working to upgrade the AC situation and very sorry for the inconvenience. It's been a very hot summer and this is our first summer renting. Sorry also to hear about the dock - we've kept a boat on it for a week, as have several others, and we've not heard anything else but we acknowledge it's a floating dock and not as stable as a fixed one. We're considering upgrading for next summer and we'd love to have you back!
This was a lovely short stay in a beautiful new cabin! The views are spectacular. We were also treated to the Northern Lights which was very cool! Took a quick walk down the hill to the deck that's at the top of the stairs to the lake. Since it was winter, the peace and quiet was simply wonderful. Comfortable bed and cozy furnishings.We'd recommend the Vermillion Club for dinner. It's really close and the food was great!Eric responded quickly to a couple questions we had. Hopefully we can return in the summer or fall.Thanks for the excellent accommodations!

Although it is a beautiful property with amazing lakeside views, I would not stay here again. Upon arrival there was construction debris and most of the yard was roped off. The worst part was there really is no AC. I messaged the owner about this when I arrived and they directed me to two portable units that were packed away deep in the closet. After getting them setup we quickly realized these units were too small to adequately cool the place, leaving us miserable while temps were over 90 degrees inside.

Hi Jesse, I'm very sorry your stay was not what you expected. There is no option on VRBO for "we have portable AC units" but instead it's just yes we have AC or not - we've not had anyone complain after two summers but after your comments, we are buying some more units today.
We are trying to grow grass and thus had those small spaces around our cabin roped off - we had hoped the 1,000 sq feet of wrap around deck and the 1,500 sq feet of platform on the lake provided sufficient space to recreate outside. We are still working on a garage and sauna and so there is some construction material we are saving that is 30 feet from the one side of the cabin that gets the least use, and that is all under tarps. I'm very sorry this eyesore diminished the quality of your stay.
Separately, our cleaning person said there were super dirty dishes left in the sink, it looked like someone threw up in the dishwasher without cleaning it up, and that there was some type of stains ground into the floor and walls.
We enjoyed our stay. Two couples and their combined three children fit very comfortably into the house. The living area is comfy and feels cozy and spacious at the same time. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the triple bunks. (The kids room has a high ceiling.) The location is quiet and there is a lovely view. The wrap-around deck is great. The kitchen had everything we needed, which is rare in a vacation rental. The main thing folks need to know about this property that is not obvious from the listing is that the dock on the lake is a long way down from the house, maybe 150-200 steps. As a result we didn't spend much time on the dock, which was disappointing. We found other ways to have fun in the area. (The Soudan underground mine is very cool and there's a great putt-putt course just down the road.) There are also some small to medium-sized things that were less than stellar. There aren't bug-screens on all the doors so we had to keep the house closed up more than we would have liked. Most of the internal doors either didn't close all the way or were hard to close. The air conditioning in the living area wasn't really able to keep up with the August heat. There are no blinds or curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the downstairs bedroom, or on most of the windows in the living area. And there is a fair bit of unsightly building material on one side of the yard near the house. These are all things the owner could fairly easily fix.
The host was very kind and the home was PERFECTLY clean! Great views as well. For the price, this was a very great home and my friends had an incredible ice fishing trip. Only a couple small recommendations. The unit can get very bright, and blinds would be nice for the bedrooms and sleeping areas. The road up to the home is very steep, so definitely recommend salting for guests. Additionally, the pathway to the dock is also very steep. Thankfully my friends are in good shape, but would recommend a railing to assist with getting down safely. A futon was not present, but the couch was decently comfortable for sleeping - would recommend reaching out to Vrbo to get that changed from fouton to couch.The shower is nice but I do notice that a decent bit of water escapes past the seals. We covered with towels, but the floor would get wet after showering. The only other suggestion would be a garage or an indoor parking area. Not a big deal, but helps with storing gear and gives more room on the inside. Huge thank you to Eric for hosting us for this years yearly ice fishing trip. It was a trip to remember and we will DEFINITELY be back :).

Thanks again, Christian. We very much appreciate the comments! Yes, shades had been on our list for a while and we just got them installed. Totally acknowledge the steep driveway and apologies we didn't have it sanded in advance. We've updated the description to make it clear that we have two couches but neither are futons (VRBO is odd about that). We've also installed a shower door base sealer to stop the water from coming out. Hopefully we have a garage by this summer... Would love to have you all back soon!
