About this property
Wolfe's Den: Lakefront 3-bedroom Cabin On Wakemup Narrows Lake Vermilion MN
This lakeside pet-friendly 3-bedroom cabin is located on Wakemup Narrows convenient to both east and west ends of Lake Vermilion. It was lovingly built by our family in the 1960's and 70's.
Walk about a minute from the cabin’s front door down the short staircase or the slight path to the lake and guest dock. Or hang out on the attached deck for great sunsets, Northern Lights or simply enjoying the local wildlife including soaring bald eagles and loons fishing in the channel.
You'll delight in this licensed and inspected cozy cabin's amenities including potable water, central air conditioning and heating plus ceiling fans to ensure your comfort, free WiFi and a crackling wood-burning fireplace (firewood provided).
The cabin features Northwoods-themed bedrooms with a king in Bald Eagle Bedroom 1, two sets of custom-built pine bunkbeds in Forest Animals Bedroom 2 and a hand-made pine double bed in Fishing Bedroom 3.
If your goal is fun on the water, the property has sufficient dock space for 2 boats up to ~22ft long. It also has a small sandy beach between docks and its own unmotorized fleet: a tube for tubing, 2 water bikes, 2 regular kayaks, an inflatable kayak, a paddle boat, noodles and floating one-person rafts. Beach towels and extra life jackets are available.
If it’s raining, never fear, you’re covered with a selection of games, puzzles, a DVD player with a video library, craft supplies, books for both adults and children and 2 TVs with Roku for streaming your favorite shows.
Amenities for fishing enthusiasts include plenty of parking for up to 4 total vehicles (cars + trucks + trailers), a trailer dolly, a power outlet at the dock, a fish cleaning station with running water inside the boathouse, a small refrigerator in the boathouse and an extra freezer in the cabin for your catch (if you need more space than the regular freezer). The guest dock is visible from Polley’s Landing which is about 2min away and has on-water gas for boats.
The well-stocked kitchen has plenty of counter space to prepare your favorite meals, offering a full-sized stove, oven and refrigerator / freezer plus a microwave and more than enough cookware, utensils, dishes and small electric appliances than you're likely to need (or so past guests tell us).
If you’re in the mood for outdoor cooking, fire up the propane grill, charcoal grill or smoker (yes, we have all 3). Or gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows (grilling forks, pie irons and fire starters provided).
The tiled bathroom includes a flush toilet, shower, sink and large mirrored vanity with plenty of room for toiletries. The cabin also provides essentials including bed linens, plenty of towels, basic soaps, blow dryer and paper products.
In Nearby Cook: grocery store, pharmacy, gas, bait, laundromat, bank, movie theater, McD’s, bakery, hospital, churches, ice cream, dollar store, liquor store, bar, Farmer’s market (Sat AM), art gallery.
Whether you're seeking a fishing adventure, a peaceful getaway or a family-friendly vacation, this homey lakefront cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort and natural wonder. Just don't be surprised if the resident chipmunks want to make friends as they scrounge for peanuts.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Phil & Lisa Wolfe
From Chicagoland area, but grew up in Northwest OH / Northwest IN. We enjoy meeting people from different places / cultures / experiences, visiting National Parks and sharing our little slice of heaven with others. Phil loves fantasy football, tinkering around on the property and trips to Menards (soooo many trips to Menards). Lisa is a freelance market researcher who enjoys wrting about new food/beverage products introduced around the world, enjoys thrifting/rummaging and tries her best to attend every art / craft festival in the area. We enjoy our pet cat / dog, identifying birds on property with the Merlin app and are amused by the antics of our resident chipmunks.
Why they chose this property
Property has been in the family since the 1940's. We are so fortunate to be its current owners/caretakers.
What makes this property unique
Great central location on the lake, great view of sunsets from dock / deck, excellent north view of the Northern Lights, great view from the dock of Polley's July 4th fireworks celebration, guest dock typically protected from most common wind (from NW) by boathouse / island. Past guests tell us our cabin is one of the best stocked short-term rentals they've ever stayed at (hands down). Property is entirely family owned / operated, we personally attend to all guest needs, NOT farmed out to a management company. We typically are at the cabin next door during the season and have helped out guests with things like boat problems (to the best of our ability), borrowing power cords, tools, golf clubs, fishing poles, and the occasional cup of sugar or an egg,
