Stone Fireplace - Stunning Views - Very Private Location: Ely, Minnesota, USA (On the east end of Lake Vermilion, between Tower and Ely, MN) Accommodations: Lake Cabin - 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s) - 1 Bath - (Sleeps 5-8)
Why stay at a crowded resort when, for the same price, you can have true wilderness seclusion in this privately owned, beautifully furnished Lake Vermilion lake cabin?
Looking out our windows, you see no other cabins unless you use binoculars. We are at the "more remote" east end of Lake Vermilion, on the mainland. (Many cabins on Vermilion are on islands, but our cabin has the benefit of allowing you to drive right up to the door.) For those familiar with Lake Vermilion, our cabin is on the mainland just off of the far eastern tip of Pine Island. The beauty of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is only a half mile away through the woods, one and a half miles away by boat or canoe. A canoe is provided, and a boat and motor can be provided for an additional cost of $300 per week.
Enjoy your own private dock on a renowned fishing lake, 250 feet of private shoreline on a point, large shaded patio with high quality gas grill, and a beautifully furnished wilderness lake cabin featuring all wood interior, fully equipped kitchen, stunning lake views, stone fireplace, bathroom with shower, main level living area, and separate lower level family room with couch, chairs, and tables for games.
The bedrooms are configured as follows: bedroom #1 has one twin bed only, bedroom #2 has one twin bed only, bedroom #3 has one queen bed and one twin bed, and two additional sofa beds are available, linen included. The entire cabin was completely redone in 2000. Sorry, no dishwasher. No pets. No smoking.
This cabin has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 30 years, and has very seldom been rented out during that time. Understandably, we are interested in renting only to very respectful guests who will treat the property with the same loving care that we do. For this reason we do ask for multiple references and check them carefully. Preference is given to guests who book for two weeks or longer.

TELL ME ABOUT LAKE VERMILION
The National Geographic Society has described Lake Vermilion as one of the top ten most beautiful lakes in the United States. Today it's known not only for its natural, rustic beauty, but also for championship fishing that includes walleye pike, northern pike, muskellunge, small-mouth bass, crappies, and panfish. Lake Vermilion has 1,200 miles of shoreline (more than any other lake in Minnesota), has no motor restrictions, spans 40 miles, and includes 365 islands --and one of those islands is nine miles long!
