About the host

Hosted by Bill and Tanya Schmidt

Host profile image
We have four kids and live in New Braunfels, TX but are native Minnesotans. We love the Biwabik/Iron Range area and are excited to share our property with others.

Why they chose this property

We have been in the rental business for 18 years. Our previous property was in Clear Lake, Iowa. Over the 4th of July every year we have stayed at my brother's place (now our cabin neighbor!). Biwabik has been on our mind for investment property/personal use ever since we started going there. You will not be disappointed with our lake home or the area. Year round rental was key for us in buying another rental property and Biwabik truly does have it all!

What makes this property unique

Private 1.2 acre lot, not the high traffic tourist busyness that comes with other lake shore destinations. You can enjoy four seasons of fun at our place with outdoor activities including~swimming, fishing, golfing, downhill and cross country skiing, miles of ATV/snowmobile trails, Mesabi bike trail, hiking trails and so much more! Golf Digest's list of 100 Greatest Public Courses in 2019 rated The Quarry at Giant's Ridge as the TOP public course in Minnesota (#31 overall) with The Wilderness in Tower, MN not far behind (#72 overall) and only 30 minutes from Biwabik. In a one hour radius there are numerous places for a day trip such as Duluth, Ely, Lake Vermillion, Virginia etc. OR stay in the cozy home, read a book and have a glass of wine on Wynne!
