Cozy pet-friendly home near hiking trails and Lake Vermilion

Just steps away from thousands of miles of Northern Minnesota's best snowmobile/ATV trails. Located just a few miles from world-class golfing, hiking and fishing and only 22 miles from the nearest BWCA entry point. Tons of parking for all your toys and trailers!

• Charming, Private Home in the heart of Tower
• 4 Bedrooms | 3 Full Bathrooms | 1,800 SF
• Plenty of Room for Parking
• Large, Shaded Back Deck
• Fully Equipped Kitchen

'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!

Great place Up North.

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.

Nice house and very good value

Nice to have a deck to use, inside the house is nice and well appointed. Outside of the master bedroom, the other bedrooms are small, so only plan to use them for sleeping. The owner is very easy to communicate with.

Nice, clean and quiet in a great locati9n.

Fairly secluded within a couple block walk to downtown Tower. Group of guys north for golfing had a great time. Had an issue with internet access but the host was right on it. While it says sleeps 12, it would be tight unless spouses come with. There are 6 beds, many of them capable of sleeping 2, but this group of guys sleep in their own beds. There is room to set up inflatables. Thats the only thing incam say anywhere near critical of the property. Id stay here again in a heartbeat.Each room has a TV.Keep in mind, youre in northern Mn so many city comforts are just not available. But this is why i like going north, to get away.Benchwarmers nar and grill is a short roughly 2 block walk. And one of the best breakfast locations is .4 miles away, good ol days cafe. Zupa grocery is only open until 6pm in tower.The property is fairly secluded, or atleast it felt.that way. We may consider this property next winter if we do a big snowmobile ride.Book with confidence, property is nice and host is fantastic.

Highly Recommend

This place was absolutely perfect for our stay! There was a flatscreen TV in every bedroom with Netflix and Amazon prime which was such a convenience for all our guests. The fall colors from the deck during the day was amazing and the lighting at night was perfect too. The home was extremely spacious for all our guests. We will without question be staying there again whenever we head up north. Also our dog was a huge fan of the house too.

Hidden gem

This is a large, beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. Very dog friendly. Our family and dogs loved it! Very spacious. Tons of parking outside plus the garage. The coffee bar was a big hit. Lots of games to play downstairs if you don't feel like going out. Dozens of deer across the road and in the woods next to the house. Reserve this house for your next north woods adventure!

Wonderful & relaxing break

We wanted to find an area where we had a shot of seeing the northern lights & a moose. It was plenty dark out at night unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us for seeing the stars at night. However, we found many trails to hike on and saw a lot of wild life. The dogs enjoyed their stay also. As for the rental it was prefect for our family. We each got our own room. Plenty of space to relax. The house was completely equipment with everything needed for a relaxing vacation. Our only issue - if you call it that was the outdoor fire pit was a little small.
