Description

Welcome to Laurel Lodge, a private luxury retreat located within the prestigious Voyageurs Retreat at Giants Ridge. Set on over four wooded acres, this custom-designed home offers more than 4,400 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space, blending upscale comfort with the beauty of Minnesota’s Northwoods.

Laurel Lodge features four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom for maximum privacy and comfort. The main-level primary suite provides an elegant, restful escape, while the additional bedrooms are designed with comfort and flexibility in mind. Extra sleeping options include a Queen pullout sofa in the basement and two Queen air mattresses, making the home ideal for families and larger groups.

The heart of the home includes a welcoming great room, a formal dining area perfect for shared meals, and a cozy walk-out basement that offers additional space to relax and unwind. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked and equipped with granite countertops, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, cookware, serveware, spices, oils, and coffee—everything needed for cooking and entertaining.

Step outside and enjoy the expansive outdoor setting. Two screened-in porches, two patios, and a fire pit create inviting spaces for morning coffee or evenings under the stars. A dedicated kids’ play area and a variety of outdoor games make Laurel Lodge especially well suited for families. A gas grill and heated garage add year-round convenience.

The home is ideally located for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests have easy access to Wynne Lake, miles of scenic hiking, biking, and OHV trails, and some of Minnesota’s best golf and ski destinations. The Quarry—consistently ranked Minnesota’s #1 public golf course—is just five minutes away, with Giants Ridge skiing, golf, mountain biking, and hiking only ten minutes from the property. The towns of Biwabik and Aurora are also nearby, offering dining, shopping, and local amenities.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a friends’ getaway, or a golf or ski trip, Laurel Lodge offers the space, privacy, and comfort to make your stay unforgettable. We look forward to hosting you in the Northwoods.

The house was absolutely amazing! The fire pit and playground outside was so entertaining. There wasn't one thing that we needed while we stayed there. Everything that the house is stocked with was well thought out. And it was clean!! The screen in decks were so nice at night to sit and listen to the wind in the trees. There was no traffic noise or any neighbors that we heard. The furniture wasn't worn in. All the furniture was very comfortable including the beds. Very peaceful.

Our family takes a ski trip together every year and this year we were lucky enough to find the Laurel Lodge. We found it extremely comfortable, spacious and well-stocked for our every need. Owner was easy to communicate with and every communication was very timely! Would recommend highly to a group that travels together or a family that enjoys vacationing together!

A perfect three night get-away to see the Fall colors via the UTV trails. This property is just a short jaunt to the trails and the Mesabi bike trails. Tastefully decorated four bedrooms each with its own en-suite, well equipped kitchen, and multiple areas for congregating inside and outside. It was the perfect place to retreat to after a long day on the trails. We will definitely make a return trip to Laurel Lodge!
