About this property
Biwabik Bunkhouse near Giants' Ridge
Beautiful lake home on Embarrass Lake, 5 miles to one of the premiere ski and golf resorts in Minnesota, (the Quarry and Legend) and just over 60 miles north of Downtown Duluth. Almost 3600 square feet with nearly 200' of beautiful and sandy lake shore with a gorgeous swimming beach with two docks and a boathouse. Pontoon boat on site is available for rental, as well!
Gaze at the stars from the beautiful wrap-around deck. Spend the day relaxing in the shallow sandy water. Enjoy the evening with a bonfire on the beach shore, playing bags from the walkout basement, with tons of activities to keep the family busy: playground, dartboard, Air hockey table, Shuffleboard table, pac-man video games, pellet smoker/grill, foosball, sauna, wet bar, TV's, Internet, and too many other things to list!
Bonfires, star gazing, wildlife, 1000's of acres of public land, OHV/ATV Trails, Paved biking trails, and Giants' Ridge (skiing, snowshoeing, golf, top notch restaurant, ....) being a stones throw from the property... We truly believe there is something for everyone at this beautiful retreat.
Local Amenities Nearby:
--2.6 Miles from "The Quarry" Golf course at Giants' Ridge, routinely ranked as one of, it not THE top course in MN.
--5.2 Miles from the chalet at Giants' Ridge.
--5.9 miles from "The Legend" at Giants' Ridge, ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in the state of Minnesota.
— More of a biker and runner? The entrance to Mesabi trail (135 mile long paved trail) can be seen across the lake from the house.
--Less than 10 miles to Hundreds of miles of OHV trails for all of your 4-wheeling and Side-by-side adventures.
*Not to mention the pontoon boat available for rental, floating pad, canoe, yard games, and other aquatic amenities. Come and stay with us 😊
Pontoon rates:
1 day: $250
2 or more days: $200/day
(+$500 refundable damage deposit)

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.
