Historic Westhaven Lodge on Lake Vermilion - Since 1935

In existence since 1935, Westhaven Lodge has a private setting with a premier location on the south side of Big Bay of Lake Vermilion. Recently remodeled, the 3,200 sq. ft. single-story lodge has its own large dock with a 4,000-lb. boat lift, a fire ring, a wood-burning sauna, a fish cleaning house, a swing set and playhouse, and a large beach that it shares with our two-bedroom seasonal cabin (Cabin 1 at Westhaven Lodge--which is also available for rent if you need more bedrooms for your group).

The lodge can handle a larger group. The main bedroom faces the lake and has a queen bed; two more bedrooms with lake views also contain queen beds; and a fourth bedroom has a full bed. Two more bedrooms contain bunk beds. The lodge also has a large great room with a beautiful granite fireplace, a spacious four-season porch, a large kitchen, and a large dining room that can fit a large family so that everyone has a place at the table!

Note that a 10% discount is offered on the nightly rate if you rent for a whole week or more.

You can also rent Cabin 1 at Westhaven Lodge with the Lodge (for an added charge), which is next door and has its own lake frontage with a separate dock and boat lift. One bedroom has a queen bed and a second bedroom contains twin beds. Both lodging facilities are completely finished with pine interiors that have granite fireplaces dating back to the 1930s. Please see VRBO Listing #682304 for more information on Cabin 1. Note that while the lodge is great for use all year 'round, Cabin 1 is only available early May through early October.

No other additional fees for either cabin other than sales tax are applied; however, a damage deposit is required. Questions? Please contact Rodger.

The Lodge also comes with a sauna, a fish cleaning house, a canoe, two kayaks, and small paddle boat. There are also a couple of fishing boats without a motor. These features are shared with Cabin 1. Pets are allowed in either cabin, and both structures have decks facing the lake. Because the sun rises and sets so far to the north in the summer, and because we're on a little point, Westhaven Lodge is ideal for watching both as it faces due north with more than a180-degree view of Big Bay.

The Lodge's large dock has a main boat lift that can accommodate a speed boat or fishing boat up to 4,000 pounds. The nearest free boat launch is just over a mile away, and a large parking lot and trailer storage area also serve both structures.

Other features in the Lodge include a baby grand piano, a playhouse, a swing set and a basketball hoop. (The nearest pickleball courts are only a mile or so away at the Greenwood Township Hall, as is a tennis court and a large picnic shelter.)
