Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Island is in a beautiful quiet location. Once you get all your stuff to the island its all relaxation. Fishing off the dock was good for the kids and provided good excitement. There are several places to eat and gas up on the big part of the lake. You can even access Fortune Bay via boat with a 30-40 minute boat ride. Golf at the Wilderness is top notch. The cabin is small, but enough room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Black bay is a small bay which provides nice protection when the weather gets bad. Dock has ample space for two larger boats. Saw lots of loons and eagles from our dock. Overall a great experience and highly recommend. ##### Jim B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy H.

The cabin has all of the conveniences of home and the host could not be more accommodating. I have stayed at many VRBOs and this was one of the best experiences I have had! The fishing off the dock was great and the owner went out of his way to help us on how / where to catch fish. The lake itself offers great fishing and beautiful scenery. Even though you are on a private island, it is easy enough to access town, so you get the convenience of town with the peacefulness of being away from the noise. The cabin has a great outdoor sitting area and fire pit that we used almost every night. We would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are an avid sportsmen or just want to get away and enjoy the absolute serenity that this lake has to offer. ##### Jeremy H.

Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A stay away It was a perfect place to get far away from everyday. We needed a break from everything that distracts us as a couple from the being our best. It was nice to reconnect, to remind ourselves of what is truly important and the things that really matter in life. We found that in our very short week. The serenity, quiet (but for the loons), and beauty that exists “ up north” is rarely found today. We found that here, and… we caught a few fish as a bonus! It’s not 5 star luxury but that’s not what this place is about, it’s much more rewarding than that.: Thanks for sharing your place with us Shawn, ##### Scott P.

Swimming off dock, fishing, star gazing, hammock swinging, books, and a couple fires. Kids caught loads of fish…first walleye! Cabin has super comfortable beds, clean linens. Washer/dryer a plus but used hanging lines more for our clothes. You are on an island and it slows everyone down. Need to be okay with no dishwasher, composting toilet, etc. Missing it! Thank you, Shaun. ##### Eileen A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua W.

Everything was very clean and very well laid out. The pre-strung hammocks were a great way to spend the afternoon reading a book with an excellent view out to the water. The area around the public boat landing directly south of the cabin was gorgeous! We boated all around Black Bay and into the main Lake Vermilion waters and saw plenty of wildlife. We took one day trip to hike the various trails nearby and another day trip to visit 100+ black bears at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary. Shaun was an awesome host and always there when we had questions. We highly recommend his cabin and island to anyone looking for a secluded getaway. ##### Joshua W.

Third summer trip in last three years and plan to come again next year. Enough walleye to feed the family for days! Imagine an entire island all for yourself with everything you would normally have at home. Comfortably slept family of five. Bathroom, water, and boat ride to island are all no problems and should not stop you from booking. This vacation rental is unlike any other we have ever stayed at and we keep coming back and it gets better every time. Thanks Shaun and see you next year and the new dock was great for swimming and parking the boat. ##### Neil S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather S. Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Time & Fishing My middle son wanted his "senior" trip to be with his whole family (dog too) and focused on fishing. This was the perfect rental for exactly that. Shaun was great with all of our questions. The cabin was perfect-- we have 3 boys (20, 17, 14) myself, my husband, and dog, and we didn't feel crowded. The boys enjoyed all the family pictures and history of the island. We spent most of our time outside-- and ate our meals in the screened-in gazebo. The boys spent most of their time fishing-- both on the dock & in the boat. They caught a trophy walleye off the dock and the biggest fish (northern) off the dock. My middle son ended up catching 50 fish during our week's stay. Our dog enjoyed roaming the island and we found a little area where he could swim. We enjoyed the kayak and spent some time in the hammocks relaxing. We were expecting the mosquitos to be awful-- but they weren't. It was a great way to get a "wilderness" feel (felt very much like Boundary Waters in the bay) with modern-day amenities. I'm sure my boys will ask to go back next summer! ##### Heather S.

This is a private island with all the amenities of home. Stove and oven worked great! Kids caught tons of fish off the dock. Live well on the dock was great for keeping minnows and other caught fish. We rented the boat and Shaun gave great advice on ways to fish. We didn't catch the big one, but had a few that got away, maybe you will catch them. The boat was great for fishing. Would highly recomend this private getaway to anyone who is looking for a great fishing adventure. Toilet was no problem. House was clean when we got there. Zups grocery store in Cook had water and great local frozen pizza would recomend chicken alfredo! Dump was super easy to just outside of Cook. They didn't even charge for two bags of garbage dropped off. Thanks for all your help Shuan! Cant wait to come back! ##### Neil S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### scott Jun 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had quite a few issues with the property. there were a number of things that were promised that didn't happen or things that I think should be mentioned. First off it should be mentioned that there's no boat launch on site. that ends up being a lot of work to shuttle people around to get parked. The wifi wasn't working and there was pretty much no cell reception. that was a big problem as 2 of our group needed to work remotely throughout the week and missed meetings etc. one of the big reasons for booking a cabin over just camping is for the wifi and working remotely when needed. the cabin was in poor shape and unclean. there was mice poop in the cupboards dust on everything. It was very cluttered. the sheets were seemingly not cleaned (yet we were supposed to do laundry before we left!? ) Do you realize how hard it is to run 4 beds worth of bed sheets through a washing machine in 1 morning!? and pack and move cars around etc. The running water was a joke it was brown. im thinking it was just pulled straight out of the lake with seemingly no filter. why not filter it? what good is dirty running water really? the main bedroom had huge holes in the screens on both doors and the ceiling fan didn't work so it was very hot to sleep in there. Most of the dvds that where supposed to be there were missing and the dvd player had no remote control and needed to be found and hooked up to the tv. barely worked. Cleanliness over all was just really bad. hard to relax!!!etc ##### scott Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Brainerd-Hotels-Quarterdeck-Resort-Restaurant.h15080604.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier The Lodge on Lake Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Lakes-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-The-Lodge-On-Lake-Detroit.h1484245.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites East Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-East-Grand-Forks.h10645720.Hotel-Information) > > [Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Marais-Hotels-Eagle-Ridge-Resort-At-Lutsen-Mountains.h3081909.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Mystic Lake Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Mystic-Lake-Casino-Hotel.h198946.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand View Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Brainerd-Hotels-Grand-View-Lodge.h1857783.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Casino Hinckley](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinckley-Hotels-Grand-Casino-Hinckley.h17152897.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunrovin Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bemidji-Hotels-Dunrovin-Resort.h12626565.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Superior-Shores-Resort-Conference-Center.h3957433.Hotel-Information)
