Sauna + Deck: Wooded Cabin on Lake Vermilion!

Sauna + Deck: Wooded Cabin on Lake Vermilion!

8/10 Good
"Pros: Impeccably clean, well appointed kitchen. Comfy living room, deck with a view of the channel. Sauna works well and is very relaxing. Washer and dryer work well. Comfortable beds and bedding. When we ran out of bottled water, the property managment company brought more within 48 hours. The lawn and other outside areas are well maintained, and the dock is safe and pretty.The Roku TVs are a nice plus.Cons: The cabin is not on Lake Vermilion proper. It's on the very shallow channel leading to the lake, but getting to the lake, even on the included pedal boat, requires navigating rocks. Despite the sign in the photos with an arrow saying "go jump in the lake," the very first instruction upon arrival is to NOT jump in the lake because you'll hurt yourself. The "den" with extra beds is not really a den, it's a mostly unfinished daylight basement/shop with a concrete floor. The property is reasonably well maintained but mostly because of plywood covering up what used to be a bathtub upstairs. A lot of unfinished stuff downstairs in the "den", including heat/water/etc. and exposed pipes, as well as florescent lights."
