We were there for a ski weekend, all very nice, if I had any suggestion, the bedroom is cool (I like that) but a down comforter would be nice….the base price is quite reasonable but after all they”add ons” no so much…the host did a great job communicating.

Great location + gorgeous condo!

We loved our stay at Shawn’s property. It has a beautiful view of the lake and all the amenities you could ask for. It was the perfect location for access to Giant’s Ridge. We hope to be back again soon!

Condo was nicely remodeled and the location to amenities was great. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, pool and several pickleball games. Even with 1 bedroom, it was very comfortable for our family of 4. We would definitely book again.

Biking heaven

We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely location for a family adventure. We were close to the Mesabi bike trails and enjoyed the pool and hot tub after riding all day. The condo was clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed.

This Condo was exactly the right size for our family of 4 for the week. We had a wedding to attend at Giants Ridge and it was the perfect place for us to stay while we visited with family. Our 2 teenage sons shared the pull out couch in the living room, and they loved it. I would recommend bringing additional toilet paper if you are planning a longer stay, as well as making sure you have some food when you arrive. Shawn is a perfect host and the property is amazing upon arrival. I mean, you can’t beat a beach view with a relaxing deck to take in a beautiful sunrise/sunset each day!!

Convenient to both the beach & heated swimming pool at the Giant's Ridge Villas. The Mesabi bike trail is just across the road. More of the family was next door in a timeshare unit.

2021 Spring Break Snowboard Trip

Exactly the relaxing vacation we were hoping for. From booking to check-out, the process was extremely easy. The owner, Shawn, was quick to respond and provided clear guidelines. Literally, Giants Ridge was a 1 min drive down the road. Gorgeous front door mountain view and back door lake view. Pics are exactly what you see inside. Very cozy and comfy! If we decide to plan another trip there, we would definitely stay there again!

Nice getaway - good size for couples.

We were there for a quiet autumn getaway and really enjoyed the place. We're runners and the Mesabi trail was just a couple hundred yards from the townhome and was nice in both directions. Lots of great hiking trails in the Giants Ridge area too. They're constructing a lot of mountain bike trails on the ski hill as well and while we didn't partake they looked pretty cool. Kitchen was well-appointed and worked well for making most of our meals. We did get takeout pizza from Vi's in Biwabik. Recommended. Internet went down one morning and caretaker was very responsive. Lake view was great. It's in a townhome development connected to Giants Ridge so not isolated but it was quiet and easy to distance from others during COVID time. They've done a good job trying to keep the place clean and safe during this challenging time. We're hoping to return and would definitely look for openings in this or one of the other properties they own.

Great Northern Getaway

The Giants Ridge area is a perfect Northern getaway that keeps you busy for your entire stay. The condo worked out perfectly for us being right on the water, in the community with easy access to the golf courses, bike trails, lake, and much more.

Lovely and Fun

We had a great stay! The lake is beautiful and right outside your door, and the unit is perfect for relaxing and being cozy, watching a movie or making a snack. We kayaked on the lake, and the property is also within easy driving distance of many fund sites, including the North American Bear Center. I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect stay

We loved staying at the Villa. The place was very clean, had everything we needed, and great location. My son loved the beach and spent hours in the platform and blue mat in the water. There was SUPs, peddle boats, kayaks, and Canoes to take out. We kayaked around the lake also. Highly recommend this place.

Great place for family time

This was a great property and the perfect place for family time. The property was clean, well stocked and well maintained. The beach, lake and fire pit were steps from the back door. Tennis court, basketball hoop, pool and hot tub were right outside the front door. I look forward to trying out one of the other Green Gate properties on my next trip up north.
