About this property

Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

  • “It was close to trails, state parks, and Ely. The house was super clean and provided plenty of amenities. It comfortably slept our guests and pets. There were great gathering areas, plenty of bathrooms, and lots ofTVs.” That’s how one guest described their stay at Reggie’s Retreat, our four-bedroom, three-bath home in Tower. Bring your sleds or ATVs. There’s trailer parking and an attached garage for gear, plus a shaded deck with a gas grill. Lake Vermilion is nearby for fishing

Comfy beds!

We stayed here for a family girls weekend. The beds were super comfortable! It was really nice if there was an en suite for a couple of older members of our group. There’s a lot of room to spread out, dine, play games, etc. Very convenient location in Tower, close to Ely, and lots of visitor attractions in the area. We would stay again!

This is the 2nd time we rented Reggies Retreat and it is the perfect set up for our snowmobiling group. There is plenty of space to park trucks and trailers. The snowmobile trail is only a few blocks away and having access to the heated tuckunder garage for gear storage and getting geared up is priceless. With 6 people putting on and taking off boots, helmets, jackets etc its nice to have the space to spread out and keeps the snow and wetness in the garage. The host is super responsive when messaging, the house is clean and the kitchen is stocked with essentials. Definitely recommend!

Exceeded Expectations

Reggie’s retreat was an amazing place to stay. The dog friendly touches like water bowls and poo bags were very much appreciated. Hiking trail in walking distance and close to Lake Vermilion where we fished a couple days. The rooms were pristine and the kitchen was great. Would highly recommend!

Great place Up North.

Great place for a large family with dogs. Very pet friendly. Just a 1/2 hour from Ely, and 1/2 hour from Virginia. and very close to Lake Vermilion. Really appreciated the Master Bedroom with separate bathroom. Would suggest moving the combination lock to the garage walk in door.
