It's perfect for a family vacation, for a group of fishermen, or for retired grandparents who'd like to introduce their grandkids to the wonder of Lake Vermilion.
With 290 feet of frontage, you'll have quite a bit of lakeshore all to yourselves. We've left 40 feet of woods undisturbed on each side to provide privacy.
The cabin is set back 120 feet with ample open space shaded by mature trees for your campfire, lawn games or lawn chair in the shade. The gentle slope to the lake makes the walk easy for youngsters and retired folks (like us!).
The cabin and the lakeshore now have Starlink internet service. Typical speeds are 150-250 Mb/s. Great for work or play. And for streaming your sports and TV programming.
Our guest boat lift has been upgraded to 3600 lbs. A 2nd boat up to 22ft long can be moored at the adjacent dock. Both docks have 120v power and an overhead light.
The 800 sq. foot cabin has two large bedrooms. One bedroom has two twin beds and one has a queen and a twin, bringing the sleeping capacity to 4 or 5 persons.
The entire cabin -- inside and out -- has been renovated over the last ten years. When you visit this summer, you'll find a new exterior, bath fixtures, and kitchen appliances. Plus, we've added a clothes washer/dryer, a dishwasher, and air conditioning -- the items most requested by our guests.
Lake Vermilion is one of Minnesota’s largest and most beautiful lakes. Its 365 islands, countless bays and points, and hundreds of miles of shoreline are waiting to be explored. Our NW facing property allows you to experience its spectacular sunsets from your private dock.
There's excellent walleye fishing right off the dock through early June, especially in the morning and evening. Several smallmouth bass reside under the dock all year. Easy for kids to catch and release.
We live on the property year round in a log home you may see in some of the pictures. We are available 24 hours a day to attend to your needs, answer any questions you might have, or to fix anything that might go wrong. But we promise to stay in the background and not disturb your full use of the entire property.
Your hosts, Kathy and Jeff Lovgren
Thanks to Our 2025 Guests! We had a great year. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2026. We still have 3 days open during the week ahead of Labor Day. Act soon!
Future Plans for our Guest Cabin
After 25 enjoyable years at Lake Vermilion, we have decided it's time to move back to the Rochester area to be closer to our kids and to healthcare. We'll be putting our property on the market in spring 2026.
We will continue to host our cabin friends through this coming 2026 season, but we're not sure if the cabin will be available in 2027.
