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
Mel and I have been sharing our lives for over 15 years. We have a great blended family of 4 children, a son and daughter in-law and 4 incredible grandchildren (so far).
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!
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!
Family Reunion
We had a great time in Biwabik at Jim's home. The layout was great for a large group and everyone had their own space. The kitchen was small but we made it work. It was clean and had all the necessities. Great location. The kayaks and canoes were an added bonus. This was a great choice for our needs. Thanks again Jim!
Great Place for Groups
We had a golf group stay for the weekend, made our own meals as they had everything we needed. It was a little chilly for canoeing and kayaking but that was an option. Plenty of room for everyone, great fire pit, very comfortable, Thaks J&M!
Loved the house
The property is great so are the amenities
Map
This home is located near Biwabik, Minnesota (approximately 3 hours north of the Twin Cities) and is across Wynne Lake from the Giants Ridge Golf and Ski Resort. A short drive around the lake takes you to the slopes for downhill, cross country, snowboarding or to two of Minnesota's best public golf courses, the 'Legends' and the 'Quarry.' The renowned 'Wilderness' golf course (rated #1 in Minnesota) at Fortune Bay Resort and Casino is less than 1 hour away.
Just out our front door you’ll have opportunity to road and mountain bike; hike; cross country ski and just go for a great walk. The fantastic, 140 mile Mesabi paved bike trail runs just north of our home offering some of the most beautiful rides through forests and ponds.
Close access to endless snowmobile and ATV trails. Tons of great recreational and fishing lakes within a 10 mile radius including the pristine beauty and gorgeous ridgelines of our own Wynne Lake; rated as a class-5 walleye lake.
