"Peaceful lake front home. "

"We enjoyed our stay and the unlimited options for boating and fishing. It was nice to meet the owner in person. If you are looking for a small fishing cabin close (by boat) to the marina with the option to travel by boat miles and miles away, this is it! Handberg marina staff were very helpful and courteous. The views from the deck are relaxing, but be sure you can climb the hill to the cabin with your supplies. As some others have said, it is right by the big cabin but we still felt isolated enough."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, cute place, great back patio that overlooks the water. We would love to come back again. Visited Vermillion Falls and picked blueberries,"

"This hotel is gorgeous, as are the grounds. It was oddly empty though, both guests and staff. It feels like we were there at the wrong time of year or the wrong era. A bit dated in some ways, but it also feels like it was a top of the line resort at some point. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay."

"Amazing time and stuff to do and see for everyone who wants to get into the outdoors. "

"The property was overall clean and in good order when we arrived. Absolutely loved the view and location! Very comfortable inside and the space on the deck was very nice and relaxing. The hosts were very helpful and communicated well, we had no issues finding the property. My only issue and what bothered me the entire time was the walk up to the cabin. My understanding was there were stairs up to the cabin and the listing did not have a disclaimer or say anything about the trail leading to the stairs. The trail is put together with rocks and old treated timbers which all are very slippery when wet. The climb up was not an issue for me or my boy but my father is not as stable as he used to be and it made him and myself very nervous going up or down the trail. It's 90% trail 10% stairs. Please be aware and perhaps some pictures would be helpful when deciding if this is the right property for you. I would not have picked this property had I known about the trail. The dock was awesome I can tell it was just put in and it had power run to it so it was very nice because we were out fishing all day and needed to charge the batteries. Overall experience was good and I would recommend it to someone looking to get away and enjoy Vermillion, just be aware of the walk up."

"Was a great time spent with family. Caught a few fish and did some exploring. Was a great location and definately an unique experience staying at a place that is boat access in only."

"The owner was a very friendly guy. They made us feel very welcome."

"The property is great, nice lake view with dock. "
