Perfect Location for Giant's Ridge!

We had a crew from a few places over Minnesota meet up for a race weekend at Giant's Ridge. We were able to all get to spend some much needed time together to catch up, all while having plenty of room for gear and being less than 10 minutes from the hill. The home was clean and Kris was so accommodating!

Great Skiing Get-Away

We loved this property and its location to Giants Ridge. We enjoyed quiet morning coffee by the fireplace and low key evenings in the basement. If we get the chance, we would stay again!

Great house for a group

We had a wonderful time at this property - very convenient to Giants Ridge, while still a lot of space and things to do for those that preferred to stay back and relax or play games on site!

Holiday Trip

We picked this cabin as it was close to Giants Ridge and we couldn't have been happier with the location. Only about 6 minutes away from Giants Ridge. Overall House was great. The upstairs was a nice chill area by the fireplace. While downstairs was a fun hangout spot with the TV and game room along with a bar area and sauna! Overall was a great experience. Hopefully we can make it back again!

Holiday getaway

Worked great for our party of 10. We had so much space to be together, but also get away if we wanted to read a book. Would definitely book this again!

About the host

Hosted by Adam Nelson

Kris, Adam, and Jake all instantly fell in love with this property-- for a variety of different reasons, too! Adam has been a lifelong downhill skier and loves being within 5 minutes of Giants Ridge. Kris has been fishing since he was able to bait his first hook. And Jake has made it a point to visit all of the top golf courses in the state-- so having two (#1 and #8 in 2021) within 5 miles was a huge plus!

Our three families are committed to the outdoors and helping others experience what we love so much. Be it a 4-wheeling trip, mountain biking on the iron range, or simply a base camp to do whatever your heart desires, we are truly hopeful to help you folks spend a great time in the north woods. Sampling parts of what we enjoy so much about being in nature. Just make sure you bring extra s'mores for the fireside chats on the shore!

Why they chose this property

We were not looking for a vacation rental property. Until we found this one. From the first moment we stepped foot on the property and saw the sun setting over the lake, we were all hooked. With the two story fireplace, the ability to house all of our families, and to top it off with having a place to share with others.... We feel truly blessed to be able to share our home with you and your family to create more memories.
