Lake Vermillion getaway

Enjoy your time up north on the Pike Bay Inlet of Lake Vermillion any time of the year. Lake Vermillion is one of the top ten most scenic lakes in the United States. Within its 40,000 acres of water there are 365 islands and has 1200 miles of shoreline. It stretches for nearly 30 miles across the Arrowhead Region, boarders the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and is almost completely surrounded by the Superior National Forest.
The main floor is newly renovated with a 3/4 bath and two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The dining table with seating for 6 and additional seating at the kitchen counter ensures enough room for everyone. Couple that with the large kitchen and cozy living room with gas fireplace and you’re set for a relaxing vacation.
With highspeed Starlink internet, you’ll never have an issue connecting with the outside world, if you feel you need to escape the tranquil world you’ve found. Smart TVs in living room and both bedrooms means you can connect to Netflix, Hulu, Disney and Amazon should you need a break from the great outdoors.
The walkout basement means easy access to the backyard and water. Note: the basement is not finished. It does have an additional two beds, couch, TV and half bath.
There is so much to do on the lake and nearby! FISHING is ideal on Lake Vermillion. The lake contains black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, muskie, northern pike, sunfish, rock bass, smallmouth bass, cisco, walleye, white sucker and yellow perch.

SNOWMOBILING! This area is known as a hub for multiple amazing snowmobile trails including the Taconite State Trail, Arrowhead State Trail and the Iron Ore Trail.
SKIING: Over 7 miles of beginner to intermediate trails wind through the beautiful and quiet woods in Tower. There is even a lighted loop for skiing at night! A Great Minnesota Ski Pass is required.
ATV: The Prospectors Loop Trail System is a new 130-mile ATV trail that connects Ely, Babbitt, Embarrass, Tower, along with Bear Head and Lake Vermilion State Parks. The trail also ties in with trail systems that connect to the North Shore by the Lake County Regional ATV Trail. The trail is open from Spring when conditions permit till November 1 each year. It allows both Class 1 and 2 ATVs (single rider or larger side-by-sides), off-highway motorcycles, and some sections are open for off-road trucks as well as horseback riders.
Lake Vermillion – Soudan Underground Mine State Park is on the south shore of Lake Vermillion, in the Vermillion Range. The mine is known as Minnesota’s oldest, deepest and richest iron mine. Three different tours are offered: underground mine tour, walking drift tour and secrets of the deep, a science tour. There is also hiking trails through a hardwood conifer forest and past the famous Soudan Iron Formation. (6 miles)

Poor Location/Nice little cabin
Owner replied to questions right away. Check in/Check out was very easy. Property was clean and beds were comfortable. The biggest draw back for us was the location. There is not a view of the lake and we strongly recommend not docking a boat at the property. The Vermilion Dam comes in right by the property and the channel is filled with big boulders. Not ideal for swimming either as the water looks like root beer.
