A warm and eclectic northwoods beach style, freshly renovated upstairs apartment in Gilbert, walking distance to the crystal clear water of Lake Ore Be Gone & Mesabi Trailhead.

Thank you so much for coming back to stay with us each year — that truly means the world. There’s something special about winter weekends on the Range, especially when curling is involved! ❄️🥌
We’re honored The Oar’asis has become part of your annual tradition and love being your home base for the action. We’ll have it ready and cozy for you next season!
Until next time — safe travels and good curling!

Thank you so much Anna, for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that our place was a great fit for your family reunion. It’s wonderful that we could accommodate your group of five comfortably for the weekend.
This is our second time staying at this place and it’s very convenient for golfing. Highly suggest smash burgers at Nick’s across the street and we also ate at Whistling Bird. Both places had great food and service but make sure you have dinner before 8 otherwise choices are limited. We will return again.
Great place. Stayed there while at state archery shoot.

Large bedrooms and living area, we stayed warm and cozy during a subzero week. Kitchen was crowded when dining table was set up for 7 guests, plus only four chairs for dining made it hard for our group to prepare and share meals together. If you are eating out at the local establishments and warming leftovers the kitchen is adequate. There are lots of quirks and compromises in adapting old structures, I get it, but the bathroom and half bath lack something to be desired. The “Oarasis” marketing vibe is wonderful in concept, but does not translate to the execution of the build. It’s a great space to crash for a couple of nights, and the Whistling Bird is an awesome restaurant/bar. Highly recommend a visit, and do your research. Great value for money. Would stay here again. Cheers
We had a great stay at the Oar-asis in Gilbert. Lots of room, clean and comfortable. Loved having the coffee bar available in the morning. Convenient location to both Eveleth and Virginia. We were lucky enough to spot the Northern Lights from the back yard the last night of our stay.

Why they chose this property
We own the insurance agency on the main level and upon subsequent purchase of the building in 2021, we set out to breathe new life into this old building. This building was brought in, pulled by horses from nearby Sparta, and set on its current foundation around 1906 - we have pictures displayed of the building back then in the rental. We have enjoyed spending time in this space so much, we love the history and it brought us joy to renovate and share with others.
What makes this property unique
Walk to local bars and restaurants, walking (.2 miles) to Mesabi Trail Head & Lake OarBeGone. 10 minutes from Giants Ridge - skiing and golf.
