5/5 Excellent

"I had reserved a superior suite with a separate room in it but they said that Expedia just reserved a double room for me. They were kind and corrected the error for us. "

Quiet Water Access Only Lake Vermilion Cabin. Enjoy the sun, fish, and fun!

5/5 Excellent

Relaxing Family Getaway

"We had a great time getting our family together at this property. The cabin and bunkhouse are in great shape, the deck is absolutely fantastic and is where we spent most of our time. It was really nice being able to have some separate areas for each family to spread out but also nice common areas as well. The docks are in great shape and we loved the bonfire pit. It really is a beautiful property. Everything was absolutely perfect, we would definitely come back!"

Elbow Lake Cook, MN. Boat to private cabin retreat !!

1/5 Terrible

Horrible directions and communication

"This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had. The day of my stay I had to message for directions to the cabin. Directions were not sufficient and I had no cell service. I ended up paddling to the cabin (to the “left of the dock” as I was told). It was raining and I couldn’t find the key that was supposed to be under the steps of the deck. I had no cell service and disk was approaching so I had to drive back to town and call. The host didn’t respond to my messages. I called VRBO and they could not reach the host but said since I left the premises they would not find me a place to stay since I “vacated the property” I was alone on a lake, in the rain with no cell service or shelter!!! The following day the owner messaged me and apolgized. Apparently the cabin was across the lake and I should have “pinned” it on my phone for directions (no where did it say to do that) and I had no service. I was at the wrong cabin but didn’t know it. They offered to refund and let me try again next year for free to make up for the ordeal. After a few months I noticed I did not receive a refund and they will not respond to my inquiry. Do not book this property unless you want to lose out on your money."

Cozy Lakeside Log Cabin Perfect for Any Season

5/5 Excellent

Arrowhead 135 Team Trip

"We needed a space near the Arrowhead trail to do race support for the Arrowhead 135. The location was convenient & it accommodated our team. Pleasant stay overall. Only complaint was the smoke alarm went off almost every time we used the stove, so we mostly used the microwave & a crock pot we brought. We would be happy to stay there again."

Great week!

"We had a great family vacation. Despite the weather not cooperating, there was plenty of room for the 17 of us to hang out indoors waiting for the rain to subside. The lake is quiet and the wildlife so much fun to see. The property could use some updating but for the most part very accomodating for a large group."
