We like to come for a week in the summer and have our adult kids and partners join us. Six adults in total. Everyone has such a good time, so much space to spread out.

10/10 Excellent
"Great experience and highly recommended for an easier time getting out camping versus the BWCAW. Our time on the island was awesome! Unforgettable and will definitely be doing it again. Jimmy and his granddaughter even took us tooling around on the lake. As well as we rented a motorboat from him for fishing on our own. It was like an upgraded more comfortable and easier experience from the BWCA but still just as secluded, private and picturesque. Lots of optionable enjoyment for lake life on Vermillion. We loved it."
