Lake Vermillion's Pike Bay Prime Snowmobiling/Skiing/Fishing Location

This year-round cabin has stunning views and 120 feet of lakefront on incredible Lake Vermillion. Located right on the snowmobile trail and a huge parking area. Get away and create memories with family and friends with access to a private dock, patio, fire pit, large flat yard, and 2 decks. Newly renovated, 5 bedroom 3 bathroom, walk-out cabin at the end of a private road on Pike Bay. My wife, Amy, and I bought this unique 1980s-built cabin because we love cabin life and jumped at the opportunity to own it on well-known Lake Vermillion. The cabin is completely renovated and updated including all new appliances, new linens, and a fully stocked kitchen. Sauna is easy to heat up. Bring your boat or fish and swim from the large private dock on one of Minnesota's most beautiful lakes. Relax and enjoy the area for yard games, a large deck, and a patio. Try out the weber gas grill or Traeger smoker. Or enjoy the fire pit with sunset views on the 120' lakeshore. Rainy days you can spend indoors in the modern comfort designed cabin. With plenty of space to gather or to cozy up alone, rainy days will be enjoyed too.

Fish one of MN's best Walleye and Musky lakes both summer and winter. Lots of great restaurants to try nearby both boat up and drive up. Bring your golf clubs and enjoy The Wilderness Golf Club one of Minnesota's most beautiful golf courses just 3 miles away. Or, drive 30 minutes and play other courses like The Legend and The Quarry at Giants Ridge. Ski or mountain bike at Giants Ridge. Feeling lucky? Fortune Bay Casino is just minutes away. Bring your ATV or snowmobile as you will be surrounded by premier trails.

Fishing trip

We rented this cabin for a fishing trip with five guys, and it was absolutely perfect. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with everything we needed. It had plenty of space for our group and was ideal for bringing boats, with easy access to the water. Luke was an excellent host—communicative, helpful, and made sure everything was in order for our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Thank you

This is a very nice home and very well maintained. It is very comfortable with a great view of the lake. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, utensils and having a dishwasher is a plus. The rules are posted on the refrigerator and easy to follow. The neighbor's dog, Rooster, came by to check on us each day and was a joy. We would definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

Pike Bay Perfection

Overall loved the cabin and the experience! Luke was VERY responsive and we had everything we needed. The cabin was well equipped with beds & linens, supplies, games, kitchen utensils, an awesome gas grill and Traeger smoker, sauna and a private boat launch. Side note, the pictures were taken with a wide angle lens and they make the space look bigger than it actually is. However, the space is very comfortable and clean! Fun was had by all! We are already considering staying here again for skiing this winter!! But my kids said they will only stay if Rooster (the biggest & friendliest lab ever from next door) is there to say hello every morning!

Family trip with our adult children and their spouses and my 4 grandchildren .

The cabin was spotless and very tastefully appointed . Although a bit small for our large family all worked out fine . The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outdoors . Nice that the owners provided toys and even swimming floats for the kids !

Wonderfully Quiet Property

This place was amazing and met all of our expectations. The house is comfortable for those rainy days and the lake is right there!! The house is at the end of a dead end road and at the back of Pike Bay. Not a lot of traffic. We enjoyed the house and lake thoroughly and managed to make a run to Ely for a day. A great week!

Comfortable with great location on Pike Bay

The owners did a nice job remodeling and upgrading the house - some nice touches. It was very clean and comfortable and fit 8 of us easily (two families). The new en suite bathroom is a great addition. The sauna is great (according to our kids). The deck and grills are really great for summer. We were able to use the boat ramp to put our boat in, and we also rented a boat at a local marine - the dock fit both boats easily. Overall, a great place to for the week!

Christmas with our 4 adult children

The home is nice, we had plenty of space to spread out and have our own space but still come together for games and movie nights. The fireplaces were a perk but they had not been cleaned out of their previous ashes and there was no firewood even though the listing says there is. The dishwasher stopped working and we had a family of 6 eating every meal, that was a lot of dishes to handwash. The property manage did not even look at it and he lives next door. Same with when we asked about the ashes and a fire poker. Game table and Sauna were enjoyed! We nordic skied every day, only about a 10-15 minute drive away.
