We loved the cabin and the property. So private and quiet. Cabin was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Great that we had a dock with a boat lift too.Weather was warm so fishing was slow. We still enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year.
Really enjoyed our time at this cabin on Lake Vermillion. It was perfect for the two of us and our yellow lab. Beautiful fireplace, and very large bathroom, heater was nice as it did get cool overnight. It had everything, deck table/chairs, gas grill, picnic table, dock and fire pit.
Check in was quite easy. The furnishings were comfortable. The bed was a little to firm for my liking, but I got used to it. The front porch had a great view of the lake which my wife really enjoyed.
The overall location and yard area is beautiful and perfect, however there just seems to be some much needed TLC to these little cabin. Doors were hard to open, lights flickered constantly, and the boat lift needs a lot of updating. The lift hardly held our boat to begin with and then a storm hit which in return broke the lift and was not able to be fixed for the remainder of our stay. Overall, we have a good time despite the poor boat lift.
We had a nice time and the cabin was very clean. The bedroom doors didn't stay shut and the pressure in the shower wasn't great but that was the only problem we had.Thank you.
Cottage needs updated. Limited electrical outlets all ungrounded. No water or electrical outlets in fish cleaning hut. Ants all over kitchen. Good mattresses
Rustic cabin, exactly as described, with beautiful lakefront. We were there late in the season, so not many others around, but really enjoyed the property and the area.
The property has a perfect location on the lake and is in quiet portion of the bay. The lodge is perfect for families and friends to enjoy fishing and golfing.
We had the most amazing time. The property is not only perfect but beautifully maintained and the view is spectacular. We also met the care takers and so enjoyed talking with them. Thank you. â€ïž
We had an amazing time at Westhaven Lodge! The accommodations were perfect for our family and we had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and so fun to explore. Hopefully we get a chance to stay again!
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.

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 characterâŠ. 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.
Everything was as expected. Basic cabin with everything we needed. Very clean! Beautiful scenery! The only thing bad thing⊠the mosquitoes! Not sure how the were getting into the cabin.
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.
The Skare family bought Westhaven Lodge, all of its cabins and an additional 20 acres of heavily-wooded upland back in 1978 and operated the entire property as a resort for 20 years. Most of the original cabins making up the resort still exist, but six were sold off to some great guests who are now great neighbors. The next generation of the family continues to rent out Cabin 1 (which is still the best of the original cabins) and the Lodge--with both oriented along the lakeshore with a surprising amount of privacy.
