About this property

Lake Vermillion's Pike Bay Prime Snowmobiling/Skiing/Fishing Location

This year-round cabin has stunning views and 120 feet of lakefront on incredible Lake Vermillion. Located right on the snowmobile trail and a huge parking area. Get away and create memories with family and friends with access to a private dock, patio, fire pit, large flat yard, and 2 decks. Newly renovated, 5 bedroom 3 bathroom, walk-out cabin at the end of a private road on Pike Bay. My wife, Amy, and I bought this unique 1980s-built cabin because we love cabin life and jumped at the opportunity to own it on well-known Lake Vermillion. The cabin is completely renovated and updated including all new appliances, new linens, and a fully stocked kitchen. Sauna is easy to heat up. Bring your boat or fish and swim from the large private dock on one of Minnesota's most beautiful lakes. Relax and enjoy the area for yard games, a large deck, and a patio. Try out the weber gas grill or Traeger smoker. Or enjoy the fire pit with sunset views on the 120' lakeshore. Rainy days you can spend indoors in the modern comfort designed cabin. With plenty of space to gather or to cozy up alone, rainy days will be enjoyed too.

Fish one of MN's best Walleye and Musky lakes both summer and winter. Lots of great restaurants to try nearby both boat up and drive up. Bring your golf clubs and enjoy The Wilderness Golf Club one of Minnesota's most beautiful golf courses just 3 miles away. Or, drive 30 minutes and play other courses like The Legend and The Quarry at Giants Ridge. Ski or mountain bike at Giants Ridge. Feeling lucky? Fortune Bay Casino is just minutes away. Bring your ATV or snowmobile as you will be surrounded by premier trails.

The house was clean and nicely decorated. It accommodated our group of 11 perfectly. We especially appreciated having three bathrooms and the onsite boat landing. As an added bonus, the fishing was great!

This is a very nice home and very well maintained. It is very comfortable with a great view of the lake. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, utensils and having a dishwasher is a plus. The rules are posted on the refrigerator and easy to follow. The neighbor's dog, Rooster, came by to check on us each day and was a joy. We would definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

We rented the cabin for an extended weekend with family. It was a full house but the space accommodated us well. Plenty of areas to read, play games, watch a movie and simply enjoy one another. We will definitely come back.

Wonderfully Quiet Property

This place was amazing and met all of our expectations. The house is comfortable for those rainy days and the lake is right there!! The house is at the end of a dead end road and at the back of Pike Bay. Not a lot of traffic. We enjoyed the house and lake thoroughly and managed to make a run to Ely for a day. A great week!

Comfortable with great location on Pike Bay

The owners did a nice job remodeling and upgrading the house - some nice touches. It was very clean and comfortable and fit 8 of us easily (two families). The new en suite bathroom is a great addition. The sauna is great (according to our kids). The deck and grills are really great for summer. We were able to use the boat ramp to put our boat in, and we also rented a boat at a local marine - the dock fit both boats easily. Overall, a great place to for the week!

Pike Bay Perfection

Overall loved the cabin and the experience! Luke was VERY responsive and we had everything we needed. The cabin was well equipped with beds & linens, supplies, games, kitchen utensils, an awesome gas grill and Traeger smoker, sauna and a private boat launch. Side note, the pictures were taken with a wide angle lens and they make the space look bigger than it actually is. However, the space is very comfortable and clean! Fun was had by all! We are already considering staying here again for skiing this winter!! But my kids said they will only stay if Rooster (the biggest & friendliest lab ever from next door) is there to say hello every morning!

Fishing trip

We rented this cabin for a fishing trip with five guys, and it was absolutely perfect. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with everything we needed. It had plenty of space for our group and was ideal for bringing boats, with easy access to the water. Luke was an excellent host—communicative, helpful, and made sure everything was in order for our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Thank you

Top Notch Accommodations

Nicely remodeled and very well appointed cabin, especially for being dog friendly! We appreciated all the comfortable beds and lounging spots, indoor and outdoor. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the grills were nice as well. Being able to launch our boat right next to the dock was very convenient. We enjoyed the games and puzzle table downstairs, and the bonfire pit. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabin, and allowing dogs too, we really loved the stay!

About the host

Hosted by Luke Panek

Host profile image
Luke and I both grew up going to family cabins and love lake life. We have been married for 25 years and have 3 boys. Our boys kept us busy, especially with hockey, hunting and fishing, in their younger years. Now that they are all graduated from High School, Luke and I are living our dream of being cabin hosts. With the help of Luke's dad and our boys, we have been able to renovate 2 cabins for rental. We hope that we have renovated and thought of everything your family and friends need to create wonderful, lasting cabin time memories.
