Biking heaven
We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely location for a family adventure. We were close to the Mesabi bike trails and enjoyed the pool and hot tub after riding all day. The condo was clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed.

2021 Spring Break Snowboard Trip
Exactly the relaxing vacation we were hoping for. From booking to check-out, the process was extremely easy. The owner, Shawn, was quick to respond and provided clear guidelines. Literally, Giants Ridge was a 1 min drive down the road. Gorgeous front door mountain view and back door lake view. Pics are exactly what you see inside. Very cozy and comfy! If we decide to plan another trip there, we would definitely stay there again!

Nice getaway - good size for couples.
We were there for a quiet autumn getaway and really enjoyed the place. We're runners and the Mesabi trail was just a couple hundred yards from the townhome and was nice in both directions. Lots of great hiking trails in the Giants Ridge area too. They're constructing a lot of mountain bike trails on the ski hill as well and while we didn't partake they looked pretty cool. Kitchen was well-appointed and worked well for making most of our meals. We did get takeout pizza from Vi's in Biwabik. Recommended. Internet went down one morning and caretaker was very responsive. Lake view was great. It's in a townhome development connected to Giants Ridge so not isolated but it was quiet and easy to distance from others during COVID time. They've done a good job trying to keep the place clean and safe during this challenging time. We're hoping to return and would definitely look for openings in this or one of the other properties they own.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Callahan

Host profile image
I am a degreed professional with a variety of passions and interests. In addition to an engineering career, I have worked in the natural foods industry (various roles over several years at a food co-op), nutritional counseling, and residential construction and interior design. For the past several years, I have been dedicated to the design/build of Green Gate Guest Houses- 10 unique lodging options within the Giants Ridge Recreation Area.

I have a passion for all areas of construction, design, technology, sustainable living, renewable energy, etc., and enjoy putting ideas into action through the myriad of projects I always have going!

I enjoy nature, outdoors, exercise (running, hiking, cycling, skiing, etc), as well as the culture and arts of the city. I've traveled domestically and internationally, and value the insight gained from experiencing new cultures. I often bring back design ideas that are eventually incorporated into various projects around the property. Looking forward to some time in Scandinavia next.

Having operated my vacation rental properties for about a decade now, I have been fortunate to host such a variety of wonderful guests from all over the planet, and have enjoyed being part of the community in my hosting and travels.

Why they chose this property

We selected this particular condo because of its perfect location (as close to beach as you can get, but also walking distance to alpine slopes), and because of its attractive floorplan. It's perfectly sized as a couples getaway, yet still comfortable for two couples or a small family. During the warmer months, the Wynne Lake shore, outdoor pool, jacuzzi, tennis courts and trails are right out the door. The two Giants Ridge golf courses, restaurants and shops are just a short drive away. During the snow season, alpine lifts and cross-country ski, snowshoe and fatbike trails are just across the street- within walking distance but far enough away from the nighttime light & noise pollution of the alpine maintenance duties...As the saying goes: location, location, location!

What makes this property unique

As with all of my properties, we strive to create a unique and truly memorable lodging experience. Guests can expect to find an exptremely well-appointed, thoughtfully decorated space with many one-of-kind touches.
