Great stay on a beautiful lake!

We had a great time on Lake Vermilion at the water’s edge cabin. Being so close to the lake while eating dinner on a beautiful dining room table is quite a treat! One of the best VRBOs for being in a great fishing location as well.

Family Trip to Lake Vermillion 2024

Beautiful Location, very well maintained, clean and well equipped, and bveautiful home. Great deck and dock. Excellent swimming, but I would add a ladder to the dock to make it easier to get in and out of the water. We will return!

Trip of A Lifetime

Our stay here at Jeffs cabin was wonderful. My friends and I have been renting Vrbos for the past few years for our ice fishing trips, and this was by far the nicest cabin thus far. Our hosts were gracious, friendly accommodating. We will certainly be renting here again. Highly recommend this cabin and these hosts for and ice fishing or snow mobile trip. Thank you for a great weekend!

Great stay at Waters Edge

Property was exactly as described. Perfect location on the lake. We hired a walleye guide and he picked us up right at the dock. We caught two nice meals of fresh Vermilion walleye. Cabin was very nicely finished, woodwork, floors and kitchen finishing was very high quality and a great 'up north' vibe. Beautiful place on a beautiful MN lake.

Fall Getaway

The property is lovely. The view out the windows onto the lake is beautiful, as is the scenery. Very clean and well kept property. Only drawback was the driveaway, did not realize from listing the slope and length of the driveway. With knee replacement the walk was a trial, a bench along the way to rest would have helped. Have recommended this property to friends who are considering vacationing in this area.

Hi David, Thank you for reviewing your stay with us, appreciate the feedback. I agree a bench wouldn't be a bad idea. There is the option to back down the driveway, I'm not sure if that worked for you. We look forward to hosting your friends if they should decide to check it out, feel free to pass along my contact if they have any questions. Jeff & Andrea

Weekend Trip

We had a great stay at this cabin. We came up for a weekend but all wished could of stay longer! It had everything we could ask for. The lake was beautiful and serene. The woods/ landscape were full of nature. The cabin was nicely furnished and very comfortable. We had three adults, and it had plenty of room for us without even using the bunkhouse. If you are looking for a peaceful lakeside cabin this is the one for you. We would stay absolutely stay here again but next time more then two nights!

Waters Edge

Cabin was wonderful!!! The parking is different, very steep stairs. It was perfect once you got down to the cabin, needs some covered outdoor space, sun umbrella maybe. It is northern Minnesota and the secluded cabin was what we were looking for. Jeff and Andrea were FABULOUS at accommodating us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property.

Beautiful spot in the woods

Very private location, especially in mid-April with not a single soul on the lake. The house was beautiful and spotless. We had a great time lounging on the deck and enjoying Ely. One note - it is a trek up the hill to the parking space, and be aware that there are quite a few steps down to the door. It was good exercise for us in our early 60's after a long MN winter, but might be problematic for people with mobility issues.

Hi Patty, thank you for the kind review. I agree that the cabin is a ways from the parking area. The driveway is paved but there isn't an area to turn your vehicle around so there is the option to back up if people are comfortable doing that. The trade off is the cabin is right on the lake shore. We hope you can visit again! Jeff & Andrea

Lake Vermilion June Getaway

We truly enjoyed our time there! The layout and accomodations were very comfortable. Your deck right on the water was our most frequent location, and we love your firebowl! The weather was great, and most of the fish we caught were right from your dock and deck! I'll admit, the walk from the cabin up to your parking area is a bit of a climb. Again, it really was a wonderful stay, and we are strongly considering plans for another visit! Thank you, P.S. Your picnic table is lovely!

A Perfect Getaway on Lake Vermilion

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous cabin nestled on the shores of Lake Vermilion, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the cabin's charm and its stunning lakeside location. The cabin itself is a gem—immaculately clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the essential items needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home, with every detail meticulously attended to. The well-equipped kitchen, cozy living areas, and comfortable bedrooms made our stay incredibly relaxing. One of the highlights was definitely the fire pit, where we spent our evenings enjoying the crackling flames and the peaceful ambiance of the lake. The views from the cabin are simply breathtaking, and having direct access to the lake made it perfect for sunrise views and leisurely evenings. Communication with the owners was top-notch—they were friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to ensuring we had a wonderful stay. Their attentiveness added a personal touch that made our experience even more special.
