Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

'Reggie's Retreat' is a hidden gem of a house, less than a mile (.8 miles) from Lake Vermillion and just a few blocks (a 6 minute walk) from Tower's Main Street. This nicely decorated 2-story home boasts a private yard with a firepit, a back deck with outdoor seating and is located just steps away from all that Northern Minnesota and Lake Vermilion have to offer.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 separate living rooms, there is plenty of space for you and the whole crew - including the dogs! All bedrooms were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, and each include a Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. You will find gorgeous, handcrafted furniture throughout – made from Minnesota’s very own Northern Pines. We even had a log dog bed made for any pup “extra” enough to claim it during their stay!
The kitchen includes all the cooking necessities, and we keep the coffee bar stocked. Grill up a homemade meal to enjoy on the deck after a full day of fun in the sun (or snow)! We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, plus a huge collection of board games for those days you’d rather stay in. There is plenty of parking for your winter and water toys and a heated 2-car garage, perfect for those Northern Minnesota winters.
Dogs are eternally welcome at Reggie’s Retreat, and we do not discriminate based on breed or size. We ask that dogs are not left in the yard unattended (note – the yard is not fenced-in) and that they are crated if left in the house without a human attendant. Dogs must also be housebroken and current on all vaccinations. We have food/water bowls, dog beds and plenty of blankets and towels just for our K9 guests to use.
The Town of Tower is on the smaller side, but you’ll be within walking distance to a couple of bar n’ grills, an espresso café, ice-cream shop and Zup’s grocery store for all the essentials. Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, the famous, 5-star golf course, are just a 12-minute drive away. Easy access to the nearby towns of Ely and Cook with additional shops and restaurants. Endless outdoor activities also in close proximity, including fishing, boating, hiking, and snowmobiling, just to name a few!

A great north woods retreat that has thought carefully about welcoming furry four legged friends. We had a cozy family reunion along with a dog who felt right at home!
The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 7. There is ample parking for 3 trucks with trailers. The house was clean with a great open layout for spending time together. The location to the snowmobile trail waa also very convenient. We loved it!
Had a party of friends for my 40th birthday on opener weekend. Was very happy with the house and how it was set up. Beds were awesome! Lots of stuff available to use. Make sure you bring plastic ware as there is no utensils to eat with. Beautiful house!
Reggie’s retreat was an amazing place to stay. The dog friendly touches like water bowls and poo bags were very much appreciated. Hiking trail in walking distance and close to Lake Vermilion where we fished a couple days. The rooms were pristine and the kitchen was great. Would highly recommend!
We had a family getaway for a few days - 5 adults and 6 kids. Reggie ’s retreat was the perfect getaway and accommodated our large group comfortably. We also had dogs with us and the setup for everything worked great. We will definitely come again!
We stayed at Reggie's Retreat for a golf tournament nearby. It was clean, spacious, and had plenty of room. The owner was prompt with responses and helped accommodate a major change in our schedule. Would definitely recommend!
We stayed here for a family girls weekend. The beds were super comfortable! It was really nice if there was an en suite for a couple of older members of our group. There’s a lot of room to spread out, dine, play games, etc. Very convenient location in Tower, close to Ely, and lots of visitor attractions in the area. We would stay again!
The house was decorated very up north, log furniture etc. Very comfy beds and pillows. Kitchen was well supplied. Room for parking ATVs on trailers. Can get right to trails from property. Host was very pleasant, answered questions. Would stay again and recommend to others.
Property was as advertised. First class accommodations. Fully stocked, modern kitchen, plenty of room for us and our friends. Property was very clean with plenty of parking for 4 trucks with 4 bass boats. Looking forward to our next trip to Tower.
This was perfect for our family Christmas weekend. We had 12 total between adults, school age kids, and toddlers. We had plenty of room to hang out, play games, watch movies. Nice area for adults to hang out and the kids had space of their own as well.
Great place for a large family with dogs. Very pet friendly. Just a 1/2 hour from Ely, and 1/2 hour from Virginia. and very close to Lake Vermilion. Really appreciated the Master Bedroom with separate bathroom.
Would suggest moving the combination lock to the garage walk in door.
We rented as a place to snowmobile from. There is plenty of space for parking with trailers and trucks. The location has very easy access to the trails. The house is clean and spacious. The owner gave excellent instruction and made it easy to find. We will definitely be coming back next year.
Overall nice property. It fit our group of 8 perfectly. Very Clean & nice attention to detail. Would definitely stay there again! The weather was very hot during our stay & we could have used a window AC unit on main level. A luxury not a necessity. Definitely enjoyed are stay!
We had a great stay here. Plenty of room to park our trailers. Great having a bathroom for each couple (3). Home is comfortable and very easy access to the ATV trails. Alicia is very accomodating, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, beautiful view from private deck. Garage parking is very nice as we did encounter rain. Loved the coffee bar!!! Would recommend.
We were in the area for my daughter's graduation, and since she lives in Tower, thought this property would be a good option for my extended family of 6 to stay since it was within walking distance of my daughter's apartment. It exceeded all expectations! Alicia is a fantastic host and is extremely prompt in her communication, the house is beautiful, clean, well appointed, and in a lovely neighborhood. Wonderful all the way around!
Eighteen of our cycling group made the trip to Ely for the organized ride sponsored by Friends of the Mesabi. We loved that we could store our bikes in the garage, were close to town, had enough parking spaces for our cars, and were close to the Tower trail and had enough kitchen seating for 10.
My family and I stayed here in order to go skiing at Giants Ridge.
The house was roomy and clean, accommodating all our family's needs.
The check-in and check-out process was simple and straight forward. We have stayed at other rental properties where the check-out process was laborious and involved, making one wonder why you pay cleaning fees. Not in this case, reasonable, simple and straight forward.
We would stay here again.
