The Barn was a spectacular stay as our biking group biked the entire Mesabi Trail. To get on the trail right from the VRBO was a dream. Best designed and cared for VRBO property all of us have ever stayed at. Magical!

This was the cleanest, coolest, and most convenient VRBOs i've ever stayed in. It was 2 minutes from one of the greatest courses in MN and 5 minutes from another epic course. The yard is HUGE and comes with yard games. The firepit and BBQ are great... I couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you, Green Gate!

This place is just as advertised and it is darling. Everything was neat, tidy and well-appointed. The main bedroom has a queen Sleep Number bed that my husband and I appreciated greatly. I think the other bed was a Temperpedic or similar.

Staying at Shawn’s properties is always a highlight of our year. They are always totally clean, comfortable and have everything we need. Top VRBO property that we have stayed at and we have stayed at a ton.

We had a lovely time in this well appointed ‘up north’ cabin. Would definitely stay here again.

Magical. Loved that snowshoes were available and we could snowshoe through the property woods and onto the Mesabi Trail. We filled the roundtable room with food, laughter and game night! A heavenly retreat into the great North Woods!
