Great place for families
Wonderful for families. Our grandchildren (4-11) had a great time on the beach and swimming. They also enjoyed their "movie theater" and set up nightly movies with candy and tickets. The outdoor seating areas were always in use. The home was very clean and organized. The only thing missing were beach towels but we made a trip to town town and bought some. The master suite was perfect and the loft worked well for one family with kids and the bunkhouse for the other. Hope to make it back for next year.

This place was wonderful!
My family and I stayed here for a week in August. This place was absolutely perfect for our 4 adult sons, daughter-in-laws, and 2 grandchildren. The little ones enjoyed playing in the sand on the beach and fishing off of the dock. The dock was plenty big for our 2 boats. The lake was beautiful with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The house was plenty large enough to accommodate all of us with a large kitchen to cook in. We will definitely be going up there again with our family. Joy and Kyle did an amazing job with this home.

Great Lake Home for Family
Wonderful lake home. Our first stay on Lake Vermillion. Lots of places to sit and relax, both in the sun and out of the sun, near the dock watching the kids (5 under 11 years old) play on the sand beach and on the dock, on the decks watching the kids play on the lawn. Each of us had a wonderful time. At night, each family had their own bedroom retreat area. And, the kitchen was wonderful to cook big family meals.

Great fishing outing and stay
Some buddies and I took a long weekend fishing in Tower and not only caught a lot of fish, but cooked some gourmet meals and hung out at a phenomenal VRBO! The house and location are ideal, and Joy was a wonderful host! Kyle gave us some fishing tips and the kitchen was decked out with a six burner double oven Viking stove. Great fun and we’ll be back next year!

Annual Filan summer vacation
This property is absolutely beautiful! We have been coming to Lake Vermillion with our Grown children and their significant others the last 3 years and this was by far the best location and most comfortable home we have stayed in. The kitchen was spacious to cook in, the many different seating areas inside and outside made the experience even better! Kyle took the boys on a fishing trip one morning and they brought home 9 walleye and 1 huge perch for dinner! I am pretty sure our son gave him a few chuckles with all of his stories he had :) The bay was awesome for the family to tube and knee board, the yard area allowed for us to have bean bag and monkey ball tournaments and the fire pit was great for making smores. This property is a walk out to the lake with a nice dock, previous place we stayed had 160 stairs to get to the lake and that was no fun if you had to go up and down numerous times throughout the day. The kids golfef a couple times at Fortune Bay and visited the casino where our son came away with 4 different hand pays! This was by far a great experience and we made memories to last a life time! Thank you for opening your home to us and allowing us to have an amazing family vacation!

The property was perfect for our family, we had ages 72 years old to 12 months. Everyone had space for a little alone time but such great open spaces to gather all 10 of us. Wonderful kitchen with all the amenities you could possibly need. Yard facing the lake was enjoyed by everyone and younger kids had fun with feeding the ducks.

Great place for family vacation!
Beautiful home, and property. Plenty of space for people to spread out. And a gorgeous view of the lake! We stayed there on a family vacation with our adult children (6 adults total). It was perfect for us. This property technically sleeps 12, but if your group is all adults, I would say that 8 is the most that I would sleep if you want privacy. If you have children or teens in your group, and privacy is not a concern, then you can sleep 12. My only negative comment (which is not a huge negative) is that it would be nice if more towels were provided for a weeks stay. Joy was very responsive to all our questions. We would definitely recommend this property!

Magnificent Family Fun Time
Joy and Kyle have this serene, picture perfect property, looking out on the beauty of vast Lake Vermillion. We woke early to see glorious sunrises reflecting on the water. We have many good cooks in the family so we enjoyed the large well organized kitchen. The great rooms were spacious with plenty of comfortable furniture for family gatherings. The large table on the side patio was a wonderful space to gather for our family evening meals. With our large group we got the big pontoon and enjoyed spending time touring the lake, swimming, waterskiing and tubing. The further north we went on the lake, the more we felt the serenity of the hallowed pristine beauty. We went kayaking and paddle boarding. The decks were great for lake viewing, reading or visiting. We were gifted with perfect weather for our entire stay. I hope many folks choose to spend their lake vacation here as it is perfect in all ways. Thank you Joy and Kyle!
