About this property

Cabin 1 at Westhaven Lodge w/ Dock, Boat Lift & Beach on Big Bay

In existence since 1935, Westhaven Lodge and its cabins have one of the premier locations on the south side of Big Bay of Lake Vermilion. Cabin 1 has its own small point with a fire pit, dock and boat lift, and it has a pebble beach that it shares with the main lodge. It also has a canoe and two kayaks that are shared with the lodge.
Questions? Please contact Rodger.
The boat lift can accommodate a speed boat or fishing boat up to 3,000 pounds. The 650 square foot cabin has a bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with a bunk bed and single twin bed. It's finished with a vintage pine interior with an updated bathroom, and it also has a stone fireplace. Pets are allowed, and a large deck runs along the entire front (lakeside) of the cabin. Antenna TV available with Wi-Fi streaming capability. Because the sun rises and sets so far to the north in the summer, the point is ideal for watching both--just stay up late and get up early!

About the host

Hosted by Rodger Skare

Host profile image
The Skare family bought Westhaven Lodge, all of its cabins and an additional 20 acres of heavily-wooded upland back in 1978 and operated the entire property as a resort for 20 years. Most of the original cabins making up the resort still exist, but six were sold off to some great guests who are now great neighbors. The next generation of the family continues to rent out Cabin 1 (which is still the best of the original cabins) and the Lodge--with both oriented along the lakeshore with a surprising amount of privacy.

Why they chose this property

Excellent family retreat with unbelievable amenities and a wealth of things to do--rain or shine.

What makes this property unique

Dock with own 4,000-lb. boat lift, a pebble beach, a rock point and a lakeside fire pit.
