❤️ Year-Round Cozy Retreat - Snowmobiler's Haven! Tons of Parking, Pets Welcome

Just steps away from thousands of miles of Northern Minnesota's best snowmobile/ATV trails. Located just a few miles from world-class golfing, hiking and fishing and only 22 miles from the nearest BWCA entry point. Tons of parking for all your toys and trailers!

• Charming, Private Home in the ❤️ of Tower
• 4 Bedrooms | 3 Full Bathrooms | 1,800 SF
• Plenty of Room for Parking
• Large, Shaded Back Deck
• Fully Equipped Kitchen
• On-Site Washer and Dryer
• High-Definition Smart TV’s
• Pet-friendly

'Reggie's Retreat' is a hidden gem of a house, less than a mile (.8 miles) from Lake Vermillion and just a few blocks (a 6 minute walk) from Tower's Main Street. This nicely decorated 2-story home boasts a private yard with a firepit, a back deck with outdoor seating and is located just steps away from all that Northern Minnesota and Lake Vermilion have to offer.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 separate living rooms, there is plenty of space for you and the whole crew - including the dogs! All bedrooms were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, and each include a Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. You will find gorgeous, handcrafted furniture throughout – made from Minnesota’s very own Northern Pines. We even had a log dog bed made for any pup “extra” enough to claim it during their stay!

The kitchen includes all the cooking necessities, and we keep the coffee bar stocked. Grill up a homemade meal to enjoy on the deck after a full day of fun in the sun (or snow)! We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, plus a huge collection of board games for those days you’d rather stay in. There is plenty of parking for your winter and water toys and a heated 2-car garage, perfect for those Northern Minnesota winters.

Dogs are eternally welcome at Reggie’s Retreat, and we do not discriminate based on breed or size. We ask that dogs are not left in the yard unattended (note – the yard is not fenced-in) and that they are crated if left in the house without a human attendant. Dogs must also be housebroken and current on all vaccinations. We have food/water bowls, dog beds and plenty of blankets and towels just for our K9 guests to use.

The Town of Tower is on the smaller side, but you’ll be within walking distance to a couple of bar n’ grills, an espresso café, ice-cream shop and Zup’s grocery store for all the essentials. Fortune Bay Casino and The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, the famous, 5-star golf course, are just a 12-minute drive away. Easy access to the nearby towns of Ely and Cook with additional shops and restaurants. Endless outdoor activities also in close proximity, including fishing, boating, hiking, and snowmobiling, just to name a few!

*Our home may not be suitable for those with severe pet allergies*

Exceeded Expectations
Reggie’s retreat was an amazing place to stay. The dog friendly touches like water bowls and poo bags were very much appreciated. Hiking trail in walking distance and close to Lake Vermilion where we fished a couple days. The rooms were pristine and the kitchen was great. Would highly recommend!

Great location
We loved the privacy on the deck and the location was great. We were only a short, couple of minutes, drive away from the boat landing. We had a dog and a 3 year old along with 6 adults. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed, including some games. It was pretty warm during our trip (upper 80s) so not having AC wasn't ideal but we didn't go up there to sit in the cabin all day. Plus there were box fans provided for every room. We just set those up in the open windows and it was comfortable to sleep at night. I hughly recommend visiting the Vince Schutte Bear Sanctuary if you're looking for something to do outdoors during your stay. Instructions from the host were accurate and clear so we had no issues arriving and checking in. Very clean and well kept cabin.

Great place Up North.
Great place for a large family with dogs. Very pet friendly. Just a 1/2 hour from Ely, and 1/2 hour from Virginia. and very close to Lake Vermilion. Really appreciated the Master Bedroom with separate bathroom. Would suggest moving the combination lock to the garage walk in door.

Nice house and very good value
Nice to have a deck to use, inside the house is nice and well appointed. Outside of the master bedroom, the other bedrooms are small, so only plan to use them for sleeping. The owner is very easy to communicate with.

Absolutely perfect!
We were in the area for my daughter's graduation, and since she lives in Tower, thought this property would be a good option for my extended family of 6 to stay since it was within walking distance of my daughter's apartment. It exceeded all expectations! Alicia is a fantastic host and is extremely prompt in her communication, the house is beautiful, clean, well appointed, and in a lovely neighborhood. Wonderful all the way around!

A little disappointed.
Water wasn't Hot, just a little more than warm. Refrigerator - freezer side door holders still fly off and everything hits the floor. Brought it up last year, nothing was fixed. Washer and dryer look identical, would be nice if they were labeled. And the tree on the right side of the driveway should be cut and removed. It cost me $2,000 for a new mirror. TV's should at least have local channels.

We rented as a place to snowmobile from. There is plenty of space for parking with trailers and trucks. The location has very easy access to the trails. The house is clean and spacious. The owner gave excellent instruction and made it easy to find. We will definitely be coming back next year.

Nice Winter Stay in Tower MN
My family and I stayed here in order to go skiing at Giants Ridge. The house was roomy and clean, accommodating all our family's needs. The check-in and check-out process was simple and straight forward. We have stayed at other rental properties where the check-out process was laborious and involved, making one wonder why you pay cleaning fees. Not in this case, reasonable, simple and straight forward. We would stay here again.

Wonderful & relaxing break
We wanted to find an area where we had a shot of seeing the northern lights & a moose. It was plenty dark out at night unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us for seeing the stars at night. However, we found many trails to hike on and saw a lot of wild life. The dogs enjoyed their stay also. As for the rental it was prefect for our family. We each got our own room. Plenty of space to relax. The house was completely equipment with everything needed for a relaxing vacation. Our only issue - if you call it that was the outdoor fire pit was a little small.

Cute place to stay while exploring Tower/Ely!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. There were 4 adults, 3 teens, and our German Shorthair & Petite Goldendoodle pups - and there was ample room for each of us. Everyone was able to have their own bed which was great - I will say the bunk beds in the one room make for low clearance from the top bunk to the ceiling but it is still doable! It was great to have two kings, so that each couple could have their own king bed. We spent most of our time outdoors and lucked out with the weather being pretty nice for late October... we hiked Lake Vermilion Soudan Mine State Park, Bear Head Lake State Park, and the Kawishiwi Falls trail. The dogs LOVED all the hiking we did :) We also visited both the North American Bear Center & International Wolf Center in Ely. There is a nice deck and grill out back on the property but we didn't have a chance to use it as we were gone so much, but I can imagine that would be lovely especially in the summer! Kitchen is very well stocked, we made breakfast each morning and made lunches to take with us on our hikes, as well as tacos one night and soup the other night and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to prep/make everything we did. Great to have the dog bowls too! We wrapped up our last night enjoying the BAMBOOZLER 24" pizza at the Vermilion Club, but you can't go wrong with pretty much anything on their menu! Overall a great place to stay while exploring the area - it's a huge bonus that you can bring your furry family members too! 🐾❤️🐾

We stayed here for a family girls weekend. The beds were super comfortable! It was really nice if there was an en suite for a couple of older members of our group. There’s a lot of room to spread out, dine, play games, etc. Very convenient location in Tower, close to Ely, and lots of visitor attractions in the area. We would stay again!
