About this property

Top-Rated Lakefront Condo - Giants Ridge - Ski, Golf, Beach, Bike

This cozy 1-bedroom lakefront condo on Wynne Lake (sleeps 4: a queen bed plus a pullout sofa) is your four-season basecamp that blends comfort, convenience, and classic north woods charm, whether you're here to ski, golf, swim, or just unwind by the water.

Winter: Wake up to a warm coffee overlooking the quiet, snow-covered shoreline, then head out for a day on the slopes at Giants Ridge, just a short walk away. Cross-country skiers can explore 63 km of groomed Nordic trails through the Superior National Forest, originally built as a U.S. Ski Team training ground. Snowshoers and snowmobilers have easy access to nearby trail networks too. Come home to your gas fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen for cozy meals in, and a quiet lakefront view as the snow falls.

Summer: Spend your days on the sandy private beaches of Wynne Lake, or tee off at one of Giants Ridge's award winning courses. The Quarry is Minnesota's #1-ranked public golf course for 12 years running. The Legend is ranked #6 in the state, just steps away. Hike or bike the Mesabi trails, cool off in the outdoor pool and hot tub, or grab a game at the pickleball courts. In the evening, relax on your private deck overlooking the lake.

Year-round, you're just a short walk from the Giants Ridge Pool & Sauna Haus (a separate resort amenity, $15/person/day), a relaxing way to unwind after a day outdoors.

This lakefront condo works well for couples or small families in any season. Inside, you'll find a full kitchen, high-speed WiFi, in-unit washer/dryer, free parking, and central air.

This condo has been my favorite stay in a one bedroom place in the past couple of years! We were there to golf the local courses & it was such a nice space to come “home” to. Clean, comfortable, and right on the water! Pet friendly, so our golden retriever was in HEAVEN. I loved the pickle ball court and hot tub too! Wish we could have stayed longer. Will def be back!

If you are looking for a cute place to stay that is more budget friendly than staying at the Lodge than this place is for you. Pictures are exactly what you see when you open the door. Very clean and well maintained. Very quiet, can’t hear the traffic off the road. The lake is beautiful in the evening with pink skies. Very close to nearby restaurants, golf courses and ski lodge. The host, Stacy, is very kind and left us a welcome note, snacks, coffee pods/tea. She responds quickly to any messages and is knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely stay here again

Nice, very clean lakeside condo at Giants Ridge. Stacy was very responsive on all questions and restaurant recommendations. Complete kitchen and dining area. Really nice bedroom, bath and linens. The outdoor lakeside sitting area overlooks a pretty lake just starting to show off fall color. It is right on the Masabi paved bike trail to pedal through woods to Embarrass or Biwabik or Aurora. I wish we had reserved more time to keep on biking. It would also be so fun to return for downhill skiing, mountain biking or boating. This is a great Up North rental.

This place is awesome! The host was in contact ahead of time with pertinent instructions and contact information in case we needed anything. We were wowed with the units cleanliness and amenities. There was nothing lacking and so much extra. Fluffy towels, nice bath products, extra supplies in the closets, stacked washer and dryer, battery chargers in the nightstands for all our electronics, games, puzzles, books curated to the area, 2 tvs, even some paper and art markers in the desk. Everything worked and nothing broken. These hosts must be well traveled to have anticipated any need. The unit has updated contemporary charm with new paint, kitchen, bath and flooring. We drove right across the highway to the ski hill - new powder the first day and nicely groomed runs the rest of the time. We stayed 3 nights. It was a great trip!
