Voyageurs Retreat: This beautiful home sits in an amazing new development which you will just love. All the homes are built to conform to strict architectural guidelines to complement the natural surroundings and to add to the overall beauty of this area. All roads are paved. The home has city utilities (water and sewer), natural gas, high speed internet, digital cable tv, phone. The entire development is beautifully landscaped with dramatic lighting, hiking trails, common swimming beaches with day-use canoes and picnic areas.
Our home sits on a beautiful and peaceful 2.1 acre lot with 335 feet of shoreline and lots of white pines, maples and birch. There is also a wonderful outdoor gathering area surrounding a large fire-ring for great times relaxing around a warm, crackling fire.
Why crowd yourselves into a condo or hotel room, when you can stay in a 5 bedroom private home for the same price (or even less)? This home was built to be a place where you could enjoy spending quality time together, with lots of recreational opportunities.
Our family stayed in the home many times and created our own memories. When the original owners were looking for a new family to own the home - we leapt at the chance.
We know you and your family will enjoy it too!

About Jim Brown

We have a very active lives with many passions - one of which is time well spent with our family up at the lake.
Jim Brown purchased this house in 2012
Why Jim Brown chose Northeast
Mel and I took our family to this home many times and always felt so at home. When the family that originally built it decided to sell - they asked if we'd be interested in purchasing and we leapt at the opportunity.
Giants Ridge is unique because it is one of only two areas in the entire country where you can ski, golf and be on a lake at the same location. There are tons of recreational options available, all within the local area. Giants Ridge offers two of the finest public golf courses in the country (The Quarry & The Legend) and the ski resort is one of the best in the mid-west. Road and Mountain biking, hiking, swimming, ATV riding, snowmobile riding, cross country and downhill skiing, snowboarding, fishing, Frisbee golf, sight-seeing, just to name a few.
What makes this house unique
The house was specifically designed for groups and families to enjoy time away together. You will find plenty of room to all be together or have space to have private time. We love hanging out on the dock; sitting by a roaring fire or enjoying the sunset from the deck or porch after a day playing in the outdoors. This home will exceed your expectations.
Guestbook comments from the manager
My whole family stayed here over Christmas and
we had a blast. The house was set up well to
handle all 12 of us. We particularly liked the
well-appointed kitchen, the fire pit, and lake for ice skating. The nightime view of Giants Ridge from the lake was really cool. It was nice that the Ridge was a quick drive.
We can't wait to go back for a trip in the summer

Great Getaway
We had a great time and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful setting, great accomodations, and activities for all seasons. We (5 couples) really enjoyed the beautiful lake and the close proximity of fantastic golf! The house was perfect for us and very well equipped. It was also great to have the central air with different zones to accomodate all of our preferences. The screened 3 season room was also nice for relaxing without bugs! The fire pit area was a routine evening gathering place for our group. I look forward to staying here again!
Great property. Easily sleeps 8. Very clean.
We've stayed here for a number of years and it never disappoints. We love the great room area where eight of us can easily get together and congregate. It's a beautiful property.
Fantastic property and location. Great experience overall
This poperty was a perfect choice for our golf weekend at G.R. and Fortune Bay. Jim was great to work with and very accommodating to our schedule. Would highly recommend Anchor Pointe for your stay!
Beautiful home with everything you need
We were a group of 8 ranging in age from 10 months to almost 90 years old. Everyone had a fabulous time.
This home is absolutely beautiful. There was a crib, high chair, toys for the little one and lots of board games, movies and books for the adults. Very much appreciated since we had a bit of rain.
The kitchen is so well furnished with cookware, utensils, dishes, Keurig...and there are plenty of spices and pantry items in case you forget something!
We enjoyed using the provided kayaks and canoe. The lake was so peaceful--didn't see a motor boat until Saturday and then only for a short while.
We also used the large fire pit. What a wonderful evening we had sitting around the fire with family and making s'mores.
There is no question--we would happily visit again. Five stars simply not enough.
Thank you so much for letting us use your home and create special memories!
Annual Family Vacation.
This was a great rental. We were a group of ten including grandparents, children their spouses and grandchildren. The house was very clean when we arrived and was spacious enough to allow everyone to spread out. The screened porch was especially popular in the evenings. The owners thought of almost everything when it came to recreation. The Aqua Lily Pad was a big hit with the younger grandchildren. Two kayaks were provided and were used everyday by the adults. The fire pit was great on one of the cooler evenings. The house was in close proximity to the Mesabi bike trail which was one of the best that we had
ever ridden on. We brought a boat and the kids were able to do some tubing, water skiing and fishing. The Giants Ridge/Biwabik area provides recreational activities to satisfy just about everyone. Thank you to the owners of this property for allowing us to enjoy a great family vacation. Highly recommend.
Wedding Weekend at Giant's Ridge
Our family rented this lovely lakeside home for the weekend of our son's wedding. The close proximity to the Quarry wedding site, the spaciousness of the property and the quiet area allowed for great off time between activities. The owner was most co-operative to our needs and time schedule. We really enjoyed our rental and would have liked to stay longer!
