3 Bedroom - Drive-To Lake Vermilion Log Cabin - Private Dock & Fishing Retreat

3 Bedroom - Drive-To Lake Vermilion Log Cabin - Private Dock & Fishing Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed at several places on the lake and this was perfect for what we needed. 2 king bed bedrooms and a twin bedroom off of one of them, which we didn't use, but is a good set up. The bathrooms and kitchen are well appointed with everything you need and they include drinking water, which is a plus! This cabin is very cute, good use of space, great dock and lakeshore, with power to plug in your boat. The closest boat launch is a couple minutes away in the bay.We lived on the deck when we were actually at the cabin vs the lake, which is wonderful! The owners are fantastic with details and communication. We will be back for sure!"

Lumberjack Lodge - Modern waterfront home with breathtaking Crane Lake sunsets

10/10 Excellent
"The home is as presented - lots of space, very clean, beautiful location. The sunrises were especially grand. There's a public boat launch next door but it's not all that noisy or intrusive. Having a private dock was great. Definitely rent a boat or bring your own to enjoy the area fully. Emily the manager was phenomenal - very responsive and professional. There were a few minor issues with the home that she handled with ease. Definitely recommend this for a larger group, perfect for two families."

Loon Landing w/ private sauna

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay!! We absolutely loved our time at Loon Landing. The dock worked perfectly to boat up to with our own boat and the kids spent hours just jumping off of the dock and lily pad. It was a great launching site to go exploring Voyageurs which we did a couple days. We also boated over to a resort in Crane Lake to grab a drink one night which was super convenient and fun. The local marina was great for souvenirs as well as ice or gas for your boat. The cabin itself was excellent as well. Definitely had rustic vibes but was very clean and well maintained. We cooked in the fully stocked kitchen every night and it worked great. I especially loved the pans!! It’s rare to find such good quality cookware in a VRBO! The bunkhouse (very close to the cabin) worked great for our 3 kids (13, 11 & 7) and they thought it was pretty cool to have their own “cabin”. Lots of books available to read, but didn’t see any games so bring some of those with if that’s your thing. Overall a wonderful stay and I would love to come back!! Thank you!"

Wilderness modern lake cabin

8/10 Good
"This property is a boat in only!! No road. This is a busy resort lake. We brought our kayaks thinking this lake was smaller. Not really a kayaking lake. The property has several cabins that are close. We were lucky the only other person was the hosts son which was in the next cabin over. The cabin was good, clean and well stocked of pots and pans, grill etc. We caught lots of fish, even off the dock. The dock was very stable. The host was wonderful and helped us secure a shuttle over to the cabin. (Thank you). The people over at the marina were wonderful and very helpful."
