About this cabin rental

In existence since 1935, Westhaven Lodge and its cabins have one of the premier locations on the south side of Big Bay of Lake Vermilion. Cabin 1 has its own point with a fire pit, dock and boat lift, and it shares a pebble beach with the main lodge. It also has a canoe and two kayaks that are shared with the lodge.
Questions? Please contact Rodger.
The boat lift can accommodate a speed boat or fishing boat up to 4,000 pounds. The 600+ square foot cabin has a bedroom with a queen bed, another bedroom with a bunk bed and single twin bed. It's finished with a vintage pine interior with an updated bathroom, and it also has a stone fireplace. Pets are allowed, and a large deck runs along the entire front (lakeside) of the cabin. Satellite TV and Wi-Fi also available. Because the sun rises and sets so far to the north in the summer, the point is ideal for watching both--just stay up late and get up early!

Good location, dock and swimming area. Interior is very rustic and needs a deep clean and some TLC. Kitchen utensils/supplies are basic and required washing before use. Could use updated bath towels, carpet, window and door screens and functional smoke detectors. Nice to have dog friendly option. Wifi worked well, good TV streaming options for bad weather. Note that the lounge chairs and beach toys are at the lodge next door and shared.

We stayed 5 nights, and had a great time. Everything we needed was at the cabin, it was a blessing our dog could come with us. The location is great, the cabin is very close to Lake Vermilion State Park and Bearhead State Park. Would recommend

Great location, afternoon shade with a nice view of the lake. Very clean and comfortable cabin. My only complaint was that the boat lift was not properly leveled and there was no locking device on it. In a high wind the stern of my boat was not able to get all the way out of the water and there was risk of it getting damaged. I ended up taking it out of the water for the one day we had really high winds. Level it out and there'll be no complaints as we intend to rent it next year too. Mike

3 adults and a large teenager were a rather tight fit for the cabin since we are used to staying at a 3 bedroom 2 bath cabin, but the place was exactly as advertised. It is a very cute cabin with loads of character…. Fireplace and very cute old windows. We had great weather and spent most of our time on a rented pontoon but the cabin would be great for watching movies.

the first thing we noticed was the smell. The cabin smelled tired, used, old cigarette, We opened as many windows as possible which helped some. I sat down on one of two couches/hide a beds and sunk down almost to the floor. same on the 2nd. I have seen better at the local land fill. We unpacked and spent time outside along the lakeshore. It is a nice location. Owner clamed to have wood for a fire. It was large pieces. no kindling. nothing to make kindling. Sauna was wood fired. again, no kindling and I was fearful the sauna bldg may catch fire. A very large wasp nest hung from rafters 3 ft from door. NOT safe ! Queen bed was old and very hard. we will not come back. Old resort without care to up grade sad jim evans

The cabin was exactly as described - rustic but charming. The bathroom was surprisingly modern and very clean and plenty of towels. The small deck was perfect for sitting and looking out at the lake or for dining. The beach was perfect for our needs. Having the boat lift was a game changer on the night we had a storm. I would love to go back.

I would most definitely recommend staying at this cabin on Lake Vermillion. It is a nice cabin, very clean! The location is great. Bonnie answered right away when I accidentally locked ourselves out of the cabin..Opps!! It is a little tricky so make sure you always have the key on you!! ;) The Sunrises are spectacular!! Most definitely will be back to this cabin!

Cozy Cabin on the Water

Cozy Cabin on the Water

Wonderful location on the Big Bay portion of Lake Vermillion. Cabin was as described and very comfortable for a family of 4 with 2 kids [9,3]. Location on the water was key and made fishing or sight seeing in the boat wonderful as you didn't have to go through the hassle of trailering the boat each time. Made several outings a day instead of feeling obligate to stay on the water until loading up. The kids loved being able to play in the water, catch crawfish [the Rusty's if you can get them, made a wonderful meal], and the paddleboat/canoe topped it all off. If planning a trip back to Vermillion will most certainly look for the availability of this cabin.

Cozy Fishing Retreat on Lake Vermilion

Cozy Fishing Retreat on Lake Vermilion

This separate little cabin from the primary Westhaven Lodge is great. It is cozy with a nice old school up north feel about it. The bathroom has been renovated. It includes it's own dock with boat lift and a nice deck facing the lake. Close proximity to The Vermilion Club, Fortune Bay & The Y Store is a bonus. Communicating with the owner was a breeze.

Fall Fishing Adventure

This is a great spot on the south side of Lake Vermilion. Four of us went there to fish for the week and had a great time. The cabin sits on the waterfront and is like having your own private place. Cabin is rustic, which we like with all the comforts of home and amenities fisherman need and require for their boats and equipment. Would highly recommend Luke Worline

The property was just as described and beautiful. Everything in the cabin worked like should and we spent most of our time fishing. The only issue we had was the boat lift which would not retract all the way down and therefore could not be used.
