Unique family vacation for everyone!
No matter your heart's desire, Lake Vermilion is the preeminent destination for Northern Minnesota vacations. First-rate fishing, five-star dining, top-rated golfing, and over 40,000 acres of water are all just out your front door and ready to explore when staying at Vermilion Houseboats.
Houseboating is a unique experience that allows you to customize your vacation. With our houseboats you can spend a night near the portage to the BWCAW (Boundary Waters), enjoying amazing views of nature and walking through the waterfalls. Your next night in a houseboat could be at a top-rated golf course, casino, bar, or restaurant, or you could tie down near your favorite fishing hole and have a fresh fish fry on the table as fast as you can roll out of bed. With Vermilion Houseboats you truly choose the amount of adventure you want, without giving up any the amenities you treasure.
