About this property

Panoramic Island studded views! Spectacular ledge rock setting!

  • Vermilion Miles Away Lodge is a custom log cabin set against a spectacular ledge rock outcropping with 6 acres of wilderness, 380 feet of shoreline, and 40,000 acres of Lake Vermilion to explore! Breathtaking panoramic island studded views await!

    The log cabin boasts 2,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a huge loft with amazing views overlooking the lake, and a wood burning sauna house complete with a shower, sink, and futon. A short walk through the woods brings you to your own secluded wilderness picnic area and fire pit on a rocky point in Pike Bay. Hang out down on the lake on the amazing platform deck right on the water! Umbrella, hammocks, lounge chairs, two fishing kayaks, and paddleboat included! There is also a ladder on the dock for easy access for swimming right at the dock. It is about 4' deep at the end of the dock with no rocks, great for jumping in and swimming or hooking a lily pad up to the dock and lounging in the water. The lake bottom is slightly muddy at the end of the dock and transitions to sand/gravel about halfway down the dock. Great for hanging out in thigh deep water right off the platform deck with your favorite drink.

    The cabin is conveniently located less than 2 miles down the road from Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness Golf Course, the #2 ranked public golf course in Minnesota! Many other adventures await including miles of snowmobiling and ATV trails, a 40 minute drive to the Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Park, a 10 minute drive to the Soudan Mine State Park, a 30 minute drive to Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Hill, and a 25 minute drive to the beautiful town of Ely! There is a boat launch at Fortune Bay Casino just down the road, as well as ample dock space at the cabin for your boat on calm Pike Bay! The state snowmobile trail is on the lake directly in front of the cabin too!

    The perfect escape for your summer and winter plans! Grab your fishing poles, golf clubs, skis, snowmobiles, ATVs, and sense of adventure! Something for every season. Book your stay now!

Beautiful Zup North Getaway

My family and I had such a wonderful time at Nick's family cabin. Fall is such a beautiful time in Ely and the cabin is right on the water and offers a serene and relaxing energy. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a week up north. The sauna was fantastic and the perfect way to unwind after fall adventures.

Perfect Lake Vermilion Getaway

Nick’s property accommodates everything we look for when spending time together as a family. We loved the open layout to stay connected while preparing or eating meals and for playing games or relaxing at night. We enjoyed lunches on the deck, time around the campfire, daily trips to the sauna, and kayak trips on the lake. Great place to make new memories!

Lake Vermilion trip

We have stayed at this property previously and it is always well maintained and clean. Our family loves the open concept as we spend a lot of time cooking together in the kitchen and playing games at the table. We used the sauna every day and the kayaks are a big hit. The fish cleaning facility is great and we enjoy playing ping-pong in the garage too. We would highly recommend this property for consideration.

An Extraordinary Lake Vermillion Experience

My family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. The property and lake had so much to offer and the accommodations were spectacular. The owner was amazing, extremely helpful with any question I had and understanding when we had an issue with a boat rental. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for their 1st or 50th Lake Vermillion vacation.

Snowmobile trip layover

While on a snowmobile trip from Canada down into MN we had the good fortune to book a stay at this BEAUTIFUL cabin right on the lake. It was spacious, super clean, warm, comfortable and very well appointed. Nick, the owner, was great to work with and the whole process was as easy as it could be. We’ll definitely be back next year!! …I only wish we would of stayed longer so we could have used the beautiful sauna!
