Vacation rentals with a fire pit 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.

As always my team had a great stay here. We will booking again when in the area. Great place to stay with a great host.

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 for the weekend with our family of 5. The cabin was ideal - the kids loved having their own space. We played games at night by the Christmas tree after enjoying full days outside in the snow. Everything was spotless and easy. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

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.

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!

The location was perfect for our trip and the space provided everything we needed.

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.

We stayed for a night while my kids were skiing CXC at Mt.Itasca. Cozy place. Nice and clean. Would definitely stay again

We decided to try out Crane Lake for our yearly fishing trip; we had a blast!! Emily was a great host! Recommendations on where to get fishing boats from and was very fast to respond to any and all of our questions. The trip up to Kettle Falls was a lot of fun and just amazed how much water there is and how much there is to explore. We stayed for five days and didn’t even make a dent in exploding of all the water, and we were out for 8-10ish hours fishing every day! The house was great! So peaceful and relaxing to sit outside and watch all the bald eagles and other wildlife. The stars are amazing when you have a clear sky. Everyone is so friendly all around the lake. We will definitely make the long trip back up to explore more of the lake and get more fishing time in on the lakes!! Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful experience!! 😊😊

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

This is a wonderful off grid get away. We did a winter trip and pulled sleds with skis. Brought in water, coffee, and food. Made fires in the stoves for heat, and had a couple great saunas with cold plunges in the lake. Everything required work which is what my group was looking for. Wood to split, fires to feed, and lanterns to see at night. Close enough to ski back to the car and head to Ely anytime we wanted. Would recommend for unplugging from the busy world. Still had cell service if needed, but we stayed on airplane mode for the most part.

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

We had a great time in Ely! This cabin was the perfect fall weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back :)

Beautifully maintained house with plenty of space. Aaron was an excellent host and was proactive in thinking about what we may need for our week-long stay. The property was lovely and one could see the efforts to maintain the house. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and everything working as expected. Sound did travel well in the house so that is one thing to be aware of.

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.

We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin is adorable with plenty of space around it. After reading a few reviews about the train tracks being so close I was a little concerned about safety and noise. Once we arrived I noticed that safety was not an issue as a river (stream) is located between the property and the tracks. The train runs through frequently but it didn't have a negative impact on our stay and we live in the country with no trains. Randy was very pleasant to work with and I can't say enough good things about our stay. it was a perfect fit!
