August at Vermilion Park Inn: Savor the Last Days of Summer in Northern Minnesota

Aug 7, 2025 | Summers at VPI | 0 comments

As the long days of summer begin to soften into the golden glow of August, there’s no better place to soak in the season than at Vermilion Park Inn. Whether you’re pedaling the scenic Mesabi Trail, paddling across Lake Vermilion, or simply relaxing on our front porch with a good book, August brings its own kind of magic to Soudan.

Our historic inn—once the Soudan Mining Hospital—is a welcoming haven, lovingly restored to blend vintage character with modern comfort. Each room is thoughtfully decorated with hand-picked antiques and cozy quilts, offering a one-of-a-kind stay. Wake up to a continental breakfast before heading out to explore the North Country’s endless adventures, from fishing and hiking to exploring local attractions like the Tower-Soudan State Park, International Wolf Center, or Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort.

August is also the perfect month for a little extra togetherness. Host a family reunion, a quilting retreat, or a small workshop in our spacious lower-level meeting room—complete with tables for crafters and a commercial kitchen for your group’s needs. At Vermilion Park Inn, there’s space for everyone to make lasting memories.

Ready to plan your late-summer getaway? Book online for the best availability, or call us at (218) 753-2333 with any questions. Rooms fill up fast as the days grow shorter, so don’t wait to reserve your place in Northern Minnesota’s hidden gem!
