This a classic Northern Minnesota 3-bedroom Lake Vermilion "Cabin", on 2.5 wooded acres with 200 ft of natural shoreline, road access, that is perfect for privacy and access to all areas of the lake. With a master bedroom with a king-sized bed, 2 guest bedrooms with 2 twin beds in both, and a futon in the loft, guests will find the accommodations very natural and cozy.
For all people not familiar with this area of the United States, or just not familiar with this lake, Lake Vermilion is one of the southernmost Canadian Shield lakes in North America. What this means is that in contrast to a "kettle" lake, where chunks of the ice shield during the last ice age broke off, made depressions, and melted to form a lake, Canadian Shield lakes are characterized by exposed rock due to the glaciers scraping away the organic sentiment. The result is a large, ancient, horseshoe-shaped region of exposed Precambrian rocks, primarily in eastern and central Canada, forming the core of the North American continent.
In combination with this natural beauty, the northern shoreline of the lake is designated as a part of the Superior National Forest, in addition to a small section bordering the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, resulting in over 50% of the shoreline being undeveloped.
Location of the cabin is at the boundary of the west and east side of this 40,000 sq. acre lake, and in close proximity to the Timbuktu full-service marina.
Lastly, the lake is reported to have an island for every day of the year, with one island big enough to contain 2 small lakes, while some are barely large enough to stand on with both feet.
All combined it is an incredibly beautiful lake, and during the growing season very active with all types a fish, birds, insects and land-based critters.
The cabin is approximately 160' from water's edge, with the vertical rise from the dock to the deck stairs rising approximately 15'. Trees and ground vegetation have been left natural around all sides of the "cabin" to ensure privacy, When sitting on the deck or in the cabin, you will be able to see the lake and activity on the water, but when leaves and vegetation are out, it is difficult for anyone on the water to see the cabin and activity in and around it.
The cabin features a main bathroom with a tub, shower, and toilet separated by a door from the vanity, and master bedroom with a private deck, closet, and bathroom with a walk-in shower, toilet, and double sink.
The kitchen is fully equipped, with a double sink overlooking the lakeside, a second sink on the opposite side of the kitchen, and a center island with stools. There are two refrigerators, the main one in the kitchen equipped with an ice and water dispenser, with the second outside a sliding door on the screen porch. There is a microwave, standard oven with 4 burners, and a 3-burner Weber propane grill for use on the screen porch or main deck, depending on weather conditions.
The cabin also includes in floor radiant heat, landline Wi-Fi, washing & dryer, and a sauna with a cedar interior and Kuuma wood burning stove at water's edge.
Every room on the main level of the cabin has one of more screened windows, allowing for natural light and fresh air during the day or when sleeping. There are 7 ceiling fans in total, in all bedrooms, the loft, kitchen, great room and screen porch. Ceiling fans are also equipped with a light fixture, and every bedroom has a switched outlet.
Outside the main living area is a 12'x24' screen porch, attached to a 10'x34 main deck also accessible from the kitchen. On the main deck you will experience the benefit of the sun rising to the left when facing the lake, warming the screen porch and main deck as it travels across the shoreline. but by 3-4pm the main deck is shaded from the sun allowing for comfortable conditions during appetizers and dinner on the deck.
When needed, radiant in floor heating on the main level is controlled by a thermostat in the central hallway. If the radiant heat has not been run for a few days, it will take a couple hours to warm the main level. Once the floor warms, everything will become warmer, including the furniture and beds.
Down the path from the main deck is a path leading to the sauna and water storage area. The front section is a 10'x10' storage area for water activities, with the back section being the 8'x10' sauna.
Recreational equipment includes a paddle boat with a canopy, 16' aluminum canoe, and 12' paddle board. Also included are all necessary paddles, multiple sized life vests, water skis, wakeboard and floating devices.
Just past the sauna, the main dock is 32' in length, with an 8' L extending to the right when looking out at the lake. There is also a 5'x10' fixed dock at water's edge commonly used for docking of small boats, water access and fishing.
Firewood is supplied for use in the Fire Pit in front of the great room and for the wood stove in the sauna.
In addition to outdoors activities, indoor exercise equipment includes a Water Rower rowing machine, yoga mats, mat towels and mat cleaning solution.
For those who cannot live without it, internet access is available through 20mb/sec landline service, in addition to 5G cellular service. As shown in the pictures there is a television and stereo system with wired speakers under the television, and wired speakers in the kitchen ceiling.
