Me, my hubby, and our westie like to go to the north shore in the Fall.....this year we had decided to try something different, Lake Vermellion. After some research, we decided on Ludlows. It was beyond our expectations. Like my title says...stunning. Great fishing, beautiful views from the cabin, and total peace and quiet. Lovely....simply lovely. Oscar, our westie, was... More

I have been booking with Ludlow's for may years. The owners are hands on day and night. The staff is professional and courteous as well. Cabins are very comfortable and first rate. I've been just about everywhere, and I keep coming back every year to Ludlow's. More

This is a wonderful & unique resort and we feel so fortunate to have found it. The lake is magnificent and we were in awe of the beautiful scenery every direction we looked. Our cabin was everything we had hoped for and we especially enjoyed the lake view, outdoor deck, screened porch, and the fireplace with a constant supply of... More

I recently organized a Sales Incentive Trip for a group of 10 individuals consisting of top producers and management. Ludlow's is a beautiful resort offering a unique experience to stay on an island and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. They helped plan all of the details prior to the event - the meals, cabins, transportation, hiring the fishing... More

We attended a wedding reception at Ludlow's in June. The resort had a special feel from the moment we arrived and boarded the lovely wood motorboat for the short trip from their parking lot to the island. Our luggage was whisked away on another boat and arrived in our cabin before we did. Our cabin was lakefront with screened porches,... More

I live in Los Angeles. We fly across the country to come here, and we have done it 4 summer's in a row and plan to go next summer as well. Why? It is pure heaven and I have never experience a resort like it. It is a private Island, so only guests are allowed. There are about 20 cabins... More

We've been coming to Ludlows for over 20 years. I've stayed in many of the cabins there, some on the island, some on shore. Lately we've been staying on the north shore, as there is a cabin there that works well for my extended family, and has it's own dock for fishing (we've caught walleyes and bass right off the...

The staff could not have been anymore pleasant, and you can go back and forth from the island as often as you like - and they continue to smile. Unfortunately, the kids activities were not highly participated, so we'd recommend bringing your kids a friend. Also - start when your kids are a little younger, and make it a tradition. More

We've been going to Ludlow's for the past 3 years. The cabins are excellent - great character and history, and perfectly clean and comfortable. The island is beautiful and the staff go out of their way to provide top notch service. I'm from Minnesota, and I've been on hundreds of lakes. Lake Vermilion is easily the most beautiful lake I've... More

At Ludlow's Island Resort our three children had the best time of their lives. Every day there is a children's/family activity such as sand building contest, sail boat making and racing, fishing derby, scavenger hunts to name a few of our children's favorites. This year our son won the fishing derby and he received a trophy which he has proudly... More
