Vacation rentals with a patio in Lake Vermilion

My partner and I couldn’t have had a more positive stay at Phil’s cabin. It’s as described, sitting right on the edge of Lake Superior. We are cozy, nature-loving homebodies, so this was a stellar getaway. At the timing of this review, we stayed 3 nights in early off-season March 2025 (chilly, with heavy snowfall on our last day) which saw several weather changes that only enhanced the natural surrounding atmosphere. The cabin is close to Split Rock Lighthouse and 20 minutes to Two Harbors proper, with plenty to see and do. If not going out to the café, brewery, or state park, we were bundling and idling indoors quietly admiring a very clean, plentiful cabin with working amenities. Phil and Emily were transparent hosts in ensuring we were set up with a cozy, accomodating experience and (to go without saying) very respectful of our privacy. We arrived with a scenic, humble getaway in mind and they absolutely delivered. We hope we can visit again in the near future. Thank you so much!

It was a very well laid out two bedroom cabin. They provided ample towels, blankets, pillows and everything felt clean and comfortable. Their swing next to the lake was our favorite to watch the sun go down and have coffee in the morning. There is a nice fire ring with plenty of kindling and firewood provided! (So nice). The sauna worked well and was easy to use and warms up really fast. It was a wonderful stay, peaceful, quiet, and it felt private. We will be back for sure!!

This was the perfect place while in town for a weekend of curling. Comfortable, cozy and welcoming, great distance from both Hibbing and Chisholm. We loved the personal touches, the history of the location/house, and the thoughtful welcome basket with snacks (which was a huge blessing after a long day of curling with hungry kids!). We would absolutely stay again!

There were five adults and two children and there was plenty of room for everyone. We will come back.

A wonderful stay! Stephanie was great with communication. The house was cute and clean. We had all we needed there. We may come back in the warm months. The snow, landscape, wildlife, and dog sledding was all great in the area. Lots to do within 30 minutes of Ely. We loved our stay!

We used the space primarily as for sleeping and place to get cleaned up after/before each day. We have family in town without room to house everyone. So our needs may not be the same thing others are seeking. The kitchen itself is adequate and the large fridge freezer would meet most families needs for storage. There was a lower level window AC that cooled that level nicely. The upstairs was a little more stuffy, but with windows open and a box fan running, it cooled down nicely for sleeping. The bedrooms were good sized and having 2 bathrooms with a tub/shower and a shower met our needs for a place to sleep, clean up. The location just a block off the main road provides easy walking access to shops and restaurants. That would be very attractive to many people. For people wanting the full stay experience with meals and leisure time the place would meet their needs. Would definitely recommend this place for the location and pricing. Suzanne was a good and gracious host!

Super beautiful home and seemed to be brand new. Great location by giants ride. Had all accommodations needed (a meal we were cooking needed a Dutch oven so we brought one ourselves and sure enough they even had one there). Only thing to note is that noise travels well throughout the home so if some people want to go to bed early you almost have to send the rest of people to the garage to not be able to hear convos. Such a small thing though and overall 10/10 place.

Thank you for the cozy stay. Was nice to be so close to the snowboarding hill.

We had a great time at the house and exploring Two Harbors, Gooseberry and Tettegouche state parks. Super secluded, quiet and private.
