musky hunt
3 retired friends spending some time together in pursute of the wild and elusive musky. Long days on the water followed by quite time in the comfort of one of the nicer VRBO we shared over the years. Cabin had every thing we needed. Very comfortable, quite and perfectly located on the lake. Mark was a perfect host. We are already working on plans for 2024.

Great cabin and perfect location on the lake!
We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation up at Lake Vermilion. Cabin was updated and had everything we needed. It was nice for our older boys to take over the bunk house near the lake. Mark, the owner, was very responsive to any question and it was easy to communicate with him.

We had a great time at this property. The home was fully equipped and the bunk house was a hit. Quiet neighborhood and it was nice that the Marina was close for bait and goodies. Fishing was good. Mostly caught bass, blue gills, perch and craw dads. We had a problem with the pontoon and Mark was very responsive and made arrangements for us to use another boat. Mark is great to work with and goes out of his way to accommodate you. We’ll definitely be back!!

Great Lake Cabin
The cabin was as advertised. Our group loved the 3 season porch for board games at night after dinner when we weren’t at the fire pit. I personally enjoyed the porch in the morning while my hubby was mountain biking at Redhead at the Chislom Discovery Center. The cabin had everything we needed and Mark was great at communicating before and during our visit. Overall, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful!
My husband and I had a wonderful, peaceful time at Mark's cabin. Due to health issues, we were unable to bring our boat, but we had a great time fishing off the dock! We shopped at Zup's grocery store in Cook, it had everything we needed! We even brought home 6 porketta, as we don't have them here in Northern Iowa!! We're looking forward to our return visit!

Gorgeous location
Loved our stay at Mark's property. We had a big storm roll through and we were out of power for 48 hours. But Mark had a generator to use to keep our groceries safe. Which of course was awesome back up plan for the "act of nature". Pretty much from Cook out to the point was out of power for this extended time. The property is awesome and location is ideal for our family.

Great cabin location on Lake Vermillion
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We were primarily there to fish and the location with it’s central access was perfect. We caught enough Walleye to eat everyday and took home our limit. The cabin is comfortable and nicely updated. We will rent again.

Fantastic property!
This cabin and setting on Lake Vermilion is absolutely fantastic. The cabin is so very nice! Kitchen is great, nice bathroom, fantastic 4 season porch, nice bedrooms. The deck was a favorite spot as well. The bunk house was great for our family and so charming right on the lake. Easy walk to the marina for snacks and supplies during the week. And ice cream treats!! We loved it and will be back!

Beautiful home that exemplifies “Lake Life” in the best ways
What a lovely place to explore this pretty corner of the world! We had a wonderful time fishing for perch, bluegill, sunfish, and bass right off the dock (which we fried up for a delicious dinner!). We grilled, made campfires, made use of the canoe, and my kiddos played in the water at the shore. The house and grounds were super clean and well-kept and Mark was extremely easy to reach if I had a question. We also rented a pontoon boat for the week and used that every day. Our big kids loved staying in the dock house in “their own” apartment just a few feet from the dock. All in all, a wonderful stay and would heartily recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the area!

Great Getaway
The remodeled cabin was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The screen porch over looking the lake and the deck were perfect spots for coffee or a cold refreshment. The location on Vermilion was great! Minimal boat traffic and calm. We were able to fish and get some tubing in with our boys (15 and 11). It was nice to be close to walk to Timbuktu for bait and ice cream. We plan to stay again!

Great property!
Tucked away down a beautiful dead end road. Great for short walks to the Timbuktu Marina for another six pack or necessities. Especially beautiful with the leaves changing. Excellent lake location with quick access to east and west sides. Less wind in the narrows. Nice dock with electric close to charge your boat batteries. Cabin was just as pictured, boat house was very nice. Has everything you need for your stay. Friendly Fox comes to visit everyday. Mark was a pleasure to deal with. Recommend this property above many I’ve stayed in on Lake Vermilion.
