Aurora, Minnesota
Your quintessential northern MN all-season resort vacation experience awaits! We cherry-picked the best of the Giants Ridge units, then updated into a cozy, well-appointed vacation retreat. This property is a fully furnished 1 bedroom condo in a quiet 6-plex unit on the lake. Peaceful lake views, beach, boat, dock and summer pool access right out the door, and alpine lifts just across the street! Giants Ridge MTB trails, nordic trails, paved Mesabi rec trail, and a multitude of hiking trails all begin within walking distance. Return from a day of adventure and enjoy all the comforts of our modernized condo. Bathroom with jacuzzi tub and laundry center, private bedroom with TV, open-concept living area with full, updated kitchen, stone fireplace, dining table and lake views. For more than two guest, a sleeper sofa with extra linens is at the ready.
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.
Everything you could need in this very clean and comfortable villa. Great lakes, trails, museums and activities near by. Shawn was very responsive. Great stay!!!
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!
Comfortable, clean with a beautiful view from the porch.
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.
Wonderful 1 bedroom with plenty of space. The surrounding area and trails are beautiful.
The Giants Ridge area is a perfect Northern getaway that keeps you busy for your entire stay. The condo worked out perfectly for us being right on the water, in the community with easy access to the golf courses, bike trails, lake, and much more.
We had a great stay! The lake is beautiful and right outside your door, and the unit is perfect for relaxing and being cozy, watching a movie or making a snack. We kayaked on the lake, and the property is also within easy driving distance of many fund sites, including the North American Bear Center. I highly recommend staying here!
We had a fabulous weekend at the Villa. The unit is beautiful and clean. It has everything you need. We will be back!
We loved our stay at Shawn’s property. It has a beautiful view of the lake and all the amenities you could ask for. It was the perfect location for access to Giant’s Ridge. We hope to be back again soon!
