About this property

Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

Just steps away from thousands of miles of Northern Minnesota's best snowmobile/ATV trails. Located just a few miles from world-class golfing, hiking and fishing and only 22 miles from the nearest BWCA entry point. Tons of parking for all your toys and trailers!

• Charming, Private Home in the heart of Tower
• 4 Bedrooms | 3 Full Bathrooms | 1,800 SF
• Plenty of Room for Parking
• Large, Shaded Back Deck
• Fully Equipped Kitchen
• On-Site Washer and Dryer
• High-Definition Smart TV’s
• Pet-friendly

'Reggie's Retreat' is a hidden gem of a house, less than a mile (.8 miles) from Lake Vermillion and just a few blocks (a 6 minute walk) from Tower's Main Street. This nicely decorated 2-story home boasts a private yard with a firepit, a back deck with outdoor seating and is located just steps away from all that Northern Minnesota and Lake Vermilion have to offer.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 separate living rooms, there is plenty of space for you and the whole crew - including the dogs! All bedrooms were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, and each include a Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. You will find gorgeous, handcrafted furniture throughout – made from Minnesota’s very own Northern Pines. We even had a log dog bed made for any pup “extra” enough to claim it during their stay!

The kitchen includes all the cooking necessities, and we keep the coffee bar stocked. Grill up a homemade meal to enjoy on the deck after a full day of fun in the sun (or snow)! We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, plus a huge collection of board games for those days you’d rather stay in. There is plenty of parking for your winter and water toys and a heated 2-car garage, perfect for those Northern Minnesota winters.

Dogs are eternally welcome at Reggie’s Retreat, and we do not discriminate based on breed or size. We ask that dogs are not left in the yard unattended (note – the yard is not fenced-in) and that they are crated if left in the house without a human attendant. Dogs must also be housebroken and current on all vaccinations. We have food/water bowls, dog beds and plenty of blankets and towels just for our K9 guests to use.

The Town of Tower is on the smaller side, but you’ll be within walking distance to a couple of bar n’ grills, an espresso café, ice-cream shop and Zup’s grocery store for all the essentials. Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, the famous, 5-star golf course, are just a 12-minute drive away. Easy access to the nearby towns of Ely and Cook with additional shops and restaurants. Endless outdoor activities also in close proximity, including fishing, boating, hiking, and snowmobiling, just to name a few!

This is the 2nd time we rented Reggies Retreat and it is the perfect set up for our snowmobiling group. There is plenty of space to park trucks and trailers. The snowmobile trail is only a few blocks away and having access to the heated tuckunder garage for gear storage and getting geared up is priceless. With 6 people putting on and taking off boots, helmets, jackets etc its nice to have the space to spread out and keeps the snow and wetness in the garage. The host is super responsive when messaging, the house is clean and the kitchen is stocked with essentials. Definitely recommend!

Great house, more spacious in person, well kept and super clean upon arrival. Clean vrbo properties are hard to find so was definitely impressed. Great location that was on the quieter side of the island.
