About this property

Bayview Fireside Cabin -Pontoon Rental Available-

  • Summary:
    Escape the city and indulge in fishing, boating, snowmobiling, or pure relaxation at our Northwoods cabin on Lake Vermilion. Kids will adore the spacious yard for soccer and baseball, while an adjacent trail caters to ATV, snowmobile, and walking adventures throughout the region.

    We have a 21' Bennington available for rent to guests of our cabin at $200 per day. Please reach out after booking if you are interested.

    The Space:
    This north-woods cabin was built in '54 and has seen many updates over the years. The original knotty pine floors and ceiling are still just as warm feeling today as they were when it was built. A large living room where you will also find a 42" TV with Netflix, Youtube TV (ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC, etc), and a huge movie collection. In the kitchen you'll find everything you need for cooking, including coffee maker, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and a grill..

    Guest Access:
    Guests have the entire cabin to themselves. There is a private fire pit, deck, and grill. In addition there are three shared 60' docks and a community firepit by the water.

    Other Things to Note:
    This cabin is one of three on our property and Bayview Lodge is located to the East of our property. During summer months there is an outdoor bar at Bayview Lodge and despite the large fence it is something that you can generally hear when outdoors. They are great neighbors and shut things down by 10 pm but if you don't want to hear or see other people this property is not for you.

    Interaction with Guests:
    We live in our home on the same property. If you need anything we will be available but understand most people come up here to escape.

Awesome Surprise After A Long Drive

You really never know what to expect. After a 12 hr drive, this cabin was perfect! We are retired & travel with our 2 yr old Newfoundland. Location was beautiful & the lake made a tranquil setting. Having a dog friendly restaurant in walking distance was super convenient. We’ve been coming up to the Iron Range for years. I feel, we finally found our little house that we can call home when we return. Thank you SO much for stellar hospitality! Dan, Lenette, & Loki

Family getaway

It had everything. The owners were great. It had an awesome water access with water activities. It was walking distance from a bar restaurant. It had several fire pits for getting to know some of the other guests and a large grassy area to play yard games. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would consider staying there again.

Family getaway

We had a very enjoyable stay! The hosts Ron and Denise could not have been kinder. They answered all questions and went above and beyond to make sure our trip was hassle free. The cabin had everything we needed and along with the close proximity to a boat launch we were able to fish to our hearts content. We definitely will be back along with our doggies who also loved it there! Lorrie P

Cozy quiet cabin

This small cabin was perfect for me, my wife and our Labradors. We traveled to Ely almost daily for various adventures, rented a snowmobile a few miles away, exercised our dogs on the frozen lake and enjoyed our evenings with a fire. It is what I would call a camp but that suits me just fine. The hosts are available next door if you need them. Everything worked and was clean. I would stay here again.

We loved our stay and would definitely come again, however, the one evening we wanted to use the TV it wasn't working. We also had no Internet, temporarily, the same day. Also a mention of the access to the docks and being steep would be a good idea for those who may not be able to navigate due to health issues/disability. When we arrived we were welcomed by Roy and Otto. We brought our puppers and realized we had forgotten her tie out and Roy brought us one which was great! Great hospitality and well l kept cabin!

We will be back! Great trip!

We couldn't have asked for a better trip to Minnesota. Roy and Denise were the most hospitable hosts. The fireside cabin was perfect for us. It gave us a place to eat, use the restroom and sleep. By no means is it anything fancy, but it's just all you need. It's incredibly quaint and very home-y feeling. We were able to put up a pack-n-play in the front bedroom, so know that is possible if needed! If you need anything at all contact Roy and Denise. They will do anything they can to get you what you need. We will absolutely be back! Thanks for making our first trip so memorable!

Cozy and Wonderful Northwoods Trip

We booked with Roy and Deneise for our family guys getaway for fishing, enjoying the lake, and outdoors. Both Roy and Deneise welcomed us like we were family and we had a great stay. Great fishing off the dock and the cabin itself was perfect for us. The owners were very responsive to getting the water heater back up and running and they took care of it when we went out for dinner. There was plenty of firewood and we enjoyed a couple of lakeview fires. The proximity to Vermillion access was convenient. We would encourage any group going to Vermillion to check out Roy and Deneise's place!

Cozy cabin on a beautiful lake

We really enjoyed our stay, cabin met all of our needs. I enjoyed having a dock to tie the boat to, with access of power. This came in handy with as much I needed the Trolling motor. Fishing was tough but we managed to finally find them after some searching. Owners are very friendly great communication with us from the start. We would definitely stay here again and we will be recommending it others.

This place was amazing! Very clean, great location on the lake, and the owners were awesome. The dock was set up appropriately with power to plug the boats in and there was plenty of space. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful place on Lake Vermillion. Chad Anderson

I rented the cabin for my 3 kids and myself and it was more than enough space for us, even with my brother and parents dropping in for a night or two. It was very clean and cozy and furnished with everything we could possibly need during our stay. Denise and Roy are so accommodating and friendly. We hope to visit again next summer!

Awesome place with awesome owners.

We had such a great time. The kids asked to make this an annual trip after the first day! Denise and Roy were amazing and made us feel like old friends. We loved Buddy and Otto, but we love dogs. The fishing was great. The cabin was perfect for our family of 6. It came stocked with all we needed. The views were great. We are a young, energetic group and didn't mind the steps down to the beach. The beach was small, but great for our youngest. We hope to come back and stay again.
