Family Vacation success!

We had booked this property well in advance for a family vacation. Walking into this house made us awe struck! The pictures are great, but don't quite do the justice it deserves. It makes you feel like you are at home. Every appliance, kitchen item, and space for everything is right there. The other features that caught my eye were that the house is decorated like the owners live there full-time. Most VRBO's seem to take out all the nice decorations- not this house. Keeping nice things in the house for us to enjoy made it feel cozy. It was perfect for entertaining our family of 10 adults with room to spread out. The pool table was a nice option for when the weather wasn't perfect for outdoor activities. The outdoor space, outdoor equipment and amenities left plenty to do as well. Check-in and check-out was easy. If we had to do laundry, everything was supplied. The only thing I recommend is to bring an extra set of paper products as they are given as an initial courtesy, but it is the guests duty to replenish them once they are out. This minor inconvenience did not warrant NOT giving it 5 stars!!! We will definitely consider this property in the future and so should you!

Florida / Minnesota Family Reunion

The property was better than we expected. It was clean, updated, yet rustic. The view of the lake was pristine. Although the water and air were cold for July it did not stop us from having a fabulous northern experience in this beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn

Our family roots are in the Iron Range and we love Lake Vermilion and the gorgeous sunsets, fantastic fishing and awesome snowmobiling!

Why they chose this property

This property was constructed from local trees outside of Ely. This is a one of a kind hand scribed custom log home. You will notice the logs are all different sizes and some are massively big. There is a floating wood staircase and has several wood carvings including one the size of an actual bear! In floor heat to keep your feet warm in the winter.
