Northwoods Lakefront Retreat on Frazer Bay

Set along the south shore of Frazer Bay on legendary Lake Vermilion, this expansive lakefront retreat offers a rare combination of sandy shoreline, a protected swimming cove, and access to both the east and west ends of one of Minnesota’s most iconic lakes. Surrounded by towering pines, calm water, and wide-open views, the property is designed for families, groups, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a balance of adventure and peaceful Northwoods living.

The main cabin anchors the experience with warm, welcoming interiors and sweeping lake views throughout. The primary bedroom features a king bed, an electric fireplace for cooler evenings, and sliding doors that open directly to the deck overlooking the water. The attached bathroom includes a two-person jacuzzi tub and tiled shower. Another bedroom offers a queen bed with lake views and a dedicated workspace, ideal for guests who may need to work remotely. A third bedroom is designed with families in mind and includes two full-over-full bunk beds, comfortably accommodating children or teens. The lower-level family room adds flexibility with a queen sleeper sofa, making the home well suited for multi-generational stays.

Beyond the main cabin, the property includes additional sleeping spaces that allow guests to spread out while still gathering together. A separate game cabin houses a private queen bedroom and serves as an entertainment hub with a pool table, darts, and a large TV. Just steps from the shoreline, a detached lakeside bedroom offers a quiet, secluded setting with a full bed and soothing water sounds. This room is located approximately 20 yards from the main cabin and is available during warmer months only, as the path is not maintained in winter.

Living spaces are thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and connection to the outdoors. The main living room centers around a gas fireplace with a mantel carved from a 150-year-old elm tree, creating a cozy gathering spot year-round. The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances along with a burr grinder, French press, and drip coffee maker for slow mornings at the lake. Outdoor cooking is equally well supported with a Weber Summit grill and a Pit Boss Austin XL smoker. The deck features a custom breakfast bar overlooking the bay, perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply watching the water change throughout the day.

Outside, the property truly shines. A gently sloping sand beach leads into a protected cove, ideal for swimming and relaxing without heavy boat traffic. Two docks provide space for fishing, tying up boats or pontoons, and enjoying the water’s edge, with dockside shore power available for recharging equipment. A floating swim platform adds to the fun for guests of all ages. For relaxation, the wood-burning sauna and seasonal hot tub (available May through mid-October) offer peaceful ways to unwind, while both a propane firepit near the cabin and a wood-burning firepit closer to the lake create inviting gathering spaces in the evenings.

Whether spending your days paddling, fishing, swimming, or exploring Lake Vermilion’s 1,200 miles of shoreline and 365 islands, or venturing out to nearby restaurants, trails, wildlife sanctuaries, and golf courses, this lakefront escape offers an exceptional setting to slow down and reconnect. With Starlink Wi-Fi throughout the property and year-round access to the region’s best outdoor experiences, it’s a place designed for lasting memories in every season.
