We had such a great time. Our grandsons loved all the games. We were able to sled on the hill in the yard with them. Giants Ridge was so convenient. The whole family wants to go back next winter.

We hosted Thanksgiving for close family and friends and literally everything we needed for cooking dinner and serving to everyone. Our family was so comfortable and cozy in a snowy wintery wonderland.

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!

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.
