History hangs heavy in the air as Lake Vermilion was at the heart of the great logging campaign of the 1800’s that built America’s great cities as our country 🇺🇸 expanded Westward. Minnesota’s 1st Iron Mine was located on the Vermilion Iron Range and is now a State Park and Scientific Research Facility. Native Americans have occupied the Lake Vermilion area for the past 5,000 - 7,000 years and traces of their presence can be seen all around, by those with a keen eye.

Family Time & Fishing
My middle son wanted his "senior" trip to be with his whole family (dog too) and focused on fishing. This was the perfect rental for exactly that. Shaun was great with all of our questions. The cabin was perfect-- we have 3 boys (20, 17, 14) myself, my husband, and dog, and we didn't feel crowded. The boys enjoyed all the family pictures and history of the island. We spent most of our time outside-- and ate our meals in the screened-in gazebo. The boys spent most of their time fishing-- both on the dock & in the boat. They caught a trophy walleye off the dock and the biggest fish (northern) off the dock. My middle son ended up catching 50 fish during our week's stay. Our dog enjoyed roaming the island and we found a little area where he could swim. We enjoyed the kayak and spent some time in the hammocks relaxing. We were expecting the mosquitos to be awful-- but they weren't. It was a great way to get a "wilderness" feel (felt very much like Boundary Waters in the bay) with modern-day amenities. I'm sure my boys will ask to go back next summer!

Fantastic spot to get away
We had a great week on Lake Vermilion. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with everything you need. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, hiking at the shore lunch, and watching bald eagles at the opening of Black Bay. Highly recommend for a great spot to spend time with family.

A stay away
It was a perfect place to get far away from everyday. We needed a break from everything that distracts us as a couple from the being our best. It was nice to reconnect, to remind ourselves of what is truly important and the things that really matter in life. We found that in our very short week. The serenity, quiet (but for the loons), and beauty that exists “ up north” is rarely found today. We found that here, and… we caught a few fish as a bonus! It’s not 5 star luxury but that’s not what this place is about, it’s much more rewarding than that.: Thanks for sharing your place with us Shawn,

Quiet, loons, stars….
We had a fabulous time…. Swimming off dock, fishing, star gazing, hammock swinging, books, and a couple fires. Kids caught loads of fish…first walleye! Cabin has super comfortable beds, clean linens. Washer/dryer a plus but used hanging lines more for our clothes. You are on an island and it slows everyone down. Need to be okay with no dishwasher, composting toilet, etc. Missing it! Thank you, Shaun.

Shaun's property is exactly as described. It is a very nice, private and peaceful location. Very remote. If you are looking for a remote experience, with complete privacy this is it. The cabin and property are well maintained and completely furnished and stocked with everything you need. Shaun's fishing tips are spot on, the man knows how to fish. I would not hesitate to recommend the property.

Fantastic Fishing Trip
Overall we had a great time. How can you beat a cottage on a private island with two docks? We had 8 adults that slept inside, and it was comfortable. Fishing was great! Cleanliness of cabin depends on who was there before you. We made sure to leave it better then what we found it. The outside bathroom was nice, for some taking care of the composite toilet might seem like much, but it was no big deal for us. Laundry was nice, machines worked great. Large outside refrigerator. Some things to help out the next guests: If you have a boat, get with Shaun ahead of time to get details of where to launch (it is next to his dock and boat on mainland, but different road). He will also tell you where to park your vehicle and boat afterwards. As mentioned before, you are responsible for cleaning the cabin and grounds after your stay, so give yourself time to do so. We brought our own supplies, but many were on site (including garbage bags). You must take all garbage with you when you leave. We used the fish cleaning station a lot. No running water was present, no big deal, but it would be nice if a drain hose was added to sink so when cleaning off station it did not "splatter" everywhere on deck. We made sure to scrub the table and deck after each use. A kayak was available which was very nice, some good fishing right around the island! Overall had a fantastic stay! Thank you for sharing your island oasis with us!

Ideal
Black Bay is the perfect protected bay for launching and docking at the island, and it so quiet and wonderful. Just a short ride to amazing fishing. Not many houses or resorts in the area, which adds to the serenity. The island location was a dream...a fun little plot to explore and sit down at one of the many benches overlooking the lake. The hammocks were so relaxing. Blueberries and unique mushrooms all over the island. Mosquitos were much better than anticipated. I assume the island gets a bit more wind blown to keep the bugs to a minimum. Fantastic lighting all over the property and dock. Dock area was ideal, with fishing rod holders and life jacket storage, extension cord ready to charge the trolling motor. I didn't even realize there was a main bedroom with its own tv and walk out onto the porch by the fire pit. Kids had a blast sleeping in the loft area, with tons of books for reading. We loved the family atmosphere of all the pictures posted up all over the walls. It was a true home away from home with everything we needed and more. Shaun was super quick to respond to questions and seems like a real gem. If we get the opportunity to return, we wouldn't hestitate to do it again.

Walleye Island
Shaun is an awesome host. Third summer trip in last three years and plan to come again next year. Enough walleye to feed the family for days! Imagine an entire island all for yourself with everything you would normally have at home. Comfortably slept family of five. Bathroom, water, and boat ride to island are all no problems and should not stop you from booking. This vacation rental is unlike any other we have ever stayed at and we keep coming back and it gets better every time. Thanks Shaun and see you next year and the new dock was great for swimming and parking the boat.

Me and 6 other 60-70 y/o guys stayed and loved the island. A frame is small but as advertised. It has everything you could reasonably need. if you usually stay at hibrow places you might be a little unhappy but this is a great isolated place to enjoy a week. I would not recommend july -august as best fishing months but that is true no matter where you go. Shaun the owner was helpful and I would recommend his island highly.

Peaceful get away
A very special place! We had a relaxing week and enjoyed the remote location and the tranquility. Fishing was a bit challenging but my boys who are used to river fishing had some success- bass, perch, bluegill, pike. Comfortable beds, fabulous hammocks, cozy comfortable cabin and fabulous outdoor spaces for family bonding time. Composting toilet was a new one for us, but there was little smell (we quickly learned to avoid showering or using it immediately after maintenance routine...) We would definitely return but would try earlier in summer or late spring to see if fishing more lucrative.

This place was nice. The fishing was not very good but you can't control that. The owner was very helpful with places to fish and walked me throughout the cabin showing me what thinks need to be done. The only thing that was challenging was space with 7 guys. Seating area is small. If you had a family with kids you would have plenty of sleeping and space. The view was great and it was a nice and quiet week. Thanks Shaun

Island Life and Walleye
This was our second year we booked the island and plan to come back again. Shaun is great and he did everything he could to put us on the fish. We caught enough walleyes for a couple of meals and more Northern, blue gills, and crappie than I could keep track of. Kids had a great time fishing and swimming right off the dock. Tons of space for 5 people and more. Kitchen had everything. Toilet, garbage, and water are no problem. Easily take care of all things needed in Cook just a short drive from the island. Used the boat and it worked great for fishing. Easily gets your stuff from car to the island. This is a true paradise if you enjoy fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, all while doing so on your very own private island. It is obvious that Shaun has thought about every detail down to the lights that come on at dark to guide your boat in after a night of fishing. The screen doors that shut perfectly and keep out all the bugs. The tin roof over the new gazebo that sounds incredible in the rain. Thanks for sharing this one of a kind property with us Shaun. If you are unsure. .trust me you won't be disappointed!
