About this home

Blue Heron Retreat. Now's your chance to grab your own spot on 2 Acre large, Long Island on Lake Vermilion! Tired of neighbors, traffic, and other humans in general? Then this A-frame cabin on Long Island might be exactly what you’re looking for. Tucked near the East end of the island, this cute cabin gives you plenty of room to spread out. Bunkhouse or sauna bldg ready to be finished as you like. It features a loft, a main-floor bedroom, an open kitchen and living area, plus an enclosed porch and a charming little deck — perfect for dramatically sipping coffee while staring at the water like you’re in the movie "On Golden Pond" With 487 feet of shoreline, you’ve basically got your own little kingdom. And the best part? Your commute is just a quick boat ride from Stuntz Bay. No roads, no traffic, and the only neighbors you’ll have are the loons and the occasional curious otter, maybe a walleye. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekend getaway or just want to tell people you “own part of an island now,” Blue Heron Retreat on Long Island delivers serious privacy with a healthy dose of Northwoods charm. Come see it before someone else claims your island.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
