Vacation rentals with a firepit in Lake Vermilion

We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful home! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The kids had a blast making s'mores by the firepit and spending time with their cousins. The host was quick to respond and kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to make family memories.

Great communication, loved the place and will definitely book this stay again.

Nicole and Steffan are great hosts. Very communicative! The house is very cozy and felt like home to us for several weeks.

My family and I had such an incredible stay at Jennifer’s lake house. It was the perfect combination of spacious, cozy, and private for us to spend our Christmas week there. The location and wintry weather had us feeling like we were in a snow globe. The house was even decorated for the season, and had more than enough room for the group we had. Makes me excited for the summer months, as I would absolutely book here again!

We stayed at this property to ride the ATV trail system. You could not ask for a better location to the system. Easy to get to the trails, and access to two great loops to ride.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. We had a great time fishing, eating at various places and traveling the North Shore.

Super beautiful home and seemed to be brand new. Great location by giants ride. Had all accommodations needed (a meal we were cooking needed a Dutch oven so we brought one ourselves and sure enough they even had one there). Only thing to note is that noise travels well throughout the home so if some people want to go to bed early you almost have to send the rest of people to the garage to not be able to hear convos. Such a small thing though and overall 10/10 place.

Greg has a lovely lake home with ample amounts of space. it's well appointed, extremely clean with everything you need. it's a beautiful spot on a beautiful lake I was born and raised in the area and wanted a nice cabin on Vermilion to have a little family get together. we all had a nice time we even ice fished and caught a few nice walleyes. again great place, great location, great lake views and great peace and tranquility. we'll be back for future family endeavors for sure.

Great place. Very close to where I come to town to work. Has everything you’ll need. Nice and warm. Usually quiet but if the upstairs neighbors are movin around you’re definitely gonna hear them. Otherwise it’s perfect!

Perfect stay for our trip! The kids loved the hot tub. We knew the people in the other unit, so it was awesome! We had a great time!

Great place for me to stay while I was in the area for 2½ weeks. Quiet and convenient and great communication!

We had a wonderful stay in Ely, thanks to Debbie! The place is centrally located, but still quiet and off the main road. Check-in was easy and it was great to come back, make dinner, & relax after a day of dog sledding.

Donny was very accommodating from start to finish. Very responsive and answered any and all questions we had. The place was perfect, super clean and nice and warm! Would definitely stay again. Thanks so much!

Great place to stay, super nice owner and management, easy to communicate with. All our needs were covered during our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you for the cozy stay. Was nice to be so close to the snowboarding hill.

How fun! This basement apartment was spacious with several sleeping quarters, full kitchen, and full bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the space gets very dark for good sleeping, and we enjoyed the common space living room/kitchen. The decor was really creative. It is a basement and we stayed on the 4th of July, so we did not experience the quiet hours, but the whole fun little town was alive and having fun that night, so no concerns. If quiet is a must, basement apartments are not the way to go and we know and are ok with that, but if you’re not, this is something to avoid. The kitchen is stocked, but only for a couple people, so bringing paper products is helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Highly recommend, very peaceful, clean, and fair priced. Beautiful view overlooking the lake. We will be back!!

Quiet comfortable stay. Beautiful location. We hope to come back someday!

Great cabin on the lake. Perfect for us to have a few days away. Loved our stay!

Great cabin — comfortable, clean, quiet. Well-appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated interior. Spacious rec room with a very large screen TV. Easy access to boat dock. Mike, the owner, was staying in another cabin close by, he was extremely helpful and friendly. The cabin itself is in the community of Crane Lake, on the water. It sits in a row of similar cabins. A small store (fisherman-oriented) and couple of bar/restaurants are nearby, easily walkable. We used this as a base for day trips (hiking and canoeing) into Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters. You can also walk to and hike the Vermillion Gorge Trail from the cabin — recommended.

We stayed at John's place in the winter, and it exceeded our expectations. The place was clean and well-stocked. Running the log stove and sauna were a must, as they were the only way to stay warm. We saw a wolf and many other wildlife during our stay. Snowshoeing on the nearby lakes were a highlight. The trails marked by Dave were easy to follow, along with the maps they provided. If you are looking for a peaceful trip surrounded by nature, you found the right place! Thanks to John and Dave for being so helpful and responsive.

Hidden Minnesota gem. The place is even better than the photos. Serene, extremely tranquil. Beautiful lake and lots to do for kids and adults equally. Love coming back to this place.

If willing to make the drive away from all signs of civilization, whether it be for golfing, skiing, camping, roadtripping or otherwise, Jody’s place will always come out on top. The Bear Den Lodge exceeded all expectations, and had so many fun touches throughout the place in addition to its reliable amenities. My party made use of most offerings such as the screened hut, sauna, grill, large backyard, game room, washer/dryer, and the fancy bath tub! There were hardly any issues, the place was pristinely prepared, welcoming to guests and bears (only fake ones), and secluded. The only problem that occurred was a fire alarm being set off by the grilling we did. Due to the location of the grill, it may be more susceptible to triggering the fire alarm. To combat this, we opened a few windows in the front of the house (away from the grill), and turned on all fans and air control units (which were excellently reliable). In short, tremendous place, and I would certainly revisit!

This house was the perfect hub for nature exploration in Koochiching and Superior National Forest! It was very clean, cozy and quite luxurious compared to other accommodations we’ve stayed at in the area, but still reasonably priced for 3 bedrooms. Appreciated the host being quick to respond and flexible with our dates.
