Tower Cabin | Historic Westhaven Lodge on Lake Vermilion - Since 1935

6 Bedroom Cabin in Tower

In existence since 1935, Westhaven Lodge has a private setting with a premier location on the south side of Big Bay of Lake Vermilion. Recently remodeled, the 3,200 sq. ft. single-story lodge has its own large dock with a 4,000-lb. boat lift, a fire ring, a wood-burning sauna, a fish cleaning house, a swing set and playhouse, and a large pebble beach that it shares with our two-bedroom seasonal cabin (Cabin 1 at Westhaven Lodge--which is also available for rent if you need more than six bedrooms for your group).
The lodge can easily handle a large crowd. The master bedroom faces the lake and has a queen bed; two more bedrooms with lake views also contain queen beds; and a fourth bedroom has a full bed. Two more bedrooms contain multiple bunk beds. The lodge also has a large great room with a beautiful granite fireplace, a spacious four-season porch, a large kitchen, and a large dining room that can fit up to 16 at the table.
Note that a 10% discount is offered on the nightly rate if you rent for a whole week or more.
If your party is even larger, Cabin 1 at Westhaven Lodge, which is next door and has its own lake frontage with a separate dock and boat lift, can handle more guests. One bedroom has a queen bed and a second bedroom contains a bunk bed and a separate twin bed. Both lodging facilities are completely finished with pine interiors that have granite fireplaces dating back to the 1930s. Please see VRBO Listing #682304 for more information on Cabin 1. Note that while the lodge is great for use all year 'round, Cabin 1 is only available early May through mid-October.
No additional fees for either cabin other than sales tax are applied; however, a damage deposit is required. Questions? Please contact Rodger.
A canoe, two kayaks, and small paddle boat are also included with the lodge, as are a couple fishing boats without a motor. They are shared with Cabin 1. Pets are allowed in either cabin, and both structures have decks facing the lake. Because the sun rises and sets so far to the north in the summer, and because we're on a little point, Westhaven Lodge is ideal for watching both as it faces due north with more than a180-degree view of Big Bay.
The Lodge's large dock has a main boat lift that can accommodate a speed boat or fishing boat up to 4,000 pounds, and a second smaller boat lift can take up to 2,400 pounds. The nearest free boat launch is just over a mile away, and a large parking lot and trailer storage area also serve both structures.
Other features include a baby grand piano, a playhouse, a swing set and a basketball hoop. (The nearest pickleball courts are only a mile or so away at the Greenwood Township Hall, as is a tennis court and a large picnic shelter.)

Summary: We rented this lodge for a club ATV trip and we arrived to not having hot water. We were first accused of taking too many showers (50 gallon tank for 3 bathrooms) for a lodge that sleeps 18. We had not taken even one shower we were trying to do dishes. Maintenance worker came over trying to throw parts at the water heater to fix it - didn't work - there was an issue prior to our arrival as there was water all over the floor in basement. A couple of our group tried to help fix (one is a licensed electrician) and then offered to install a new one if owner would buy one - he refused and said it would be cheaper to wait to see if the circuit board was bad but that meant we had no hot water for the 3 nights and 4 days we were there. He offered to fire up the sauna so we could go sweat and then take cold showers? We were riding all day on dirt trails and wanted to take a shower and do dishes when we returned. One of our members had a trailer with a micro shower in it that he unwinterized and let members use if they wanted to - which should not have been an option. Owner said he tried to find a hotel or something we could go to to use showers but none were available. Then when we requested a refund of 1/3 of our rental fee we paid - he refused that request and we received substantially less as he didn't feel we deserved 1/3. I believe he was just trying to cheap out on the last rental of the year and didn't really care he made his money.
