Great place to stay

Beautiful property in a great location. We went skiing and the drive to the resort and nearest town were both short. Highly recommend.

Ski trip

Beautiful house and property. It was perfect for our needs as it’s close to Giant’s Ridge, but a restful place with tons of space for us to come back to at night. Definitely recommend.

Christmas

We spent Christmas here. The house is huge, and the layout is well thought out. The kitchen and the butlers pantry are beautiful! Everybody loved hanging out, cooking, playing games, and watching football in the kitchen. The view of the lake from the kitchen is beautiful. The whole property is gorgeous! We had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for everything!

Wilderness retreat

We loved our stay here! The house is huge, which was perfect for our group. The owners went all out with Christmas decorations, which made it feel so cozy and special. The hot tub room was a major highlight - super private and relaxing. Our kids were thrilled to find all the toys to play with (seriously, you won't need to pack any). The kitchen had everything we needed and then some, plus there was tons of space for everyone to hang out together.Really couldn't have asked for a better place. The private location was great, and you can tell the owners actually care about making their guests comfortable. We'd definitely stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband Kerry and I grew up and have spent our entire lives on the Iron Range. We love to spend our free time on the ATV and snowmobile trails, especially since Kerry races sleds and is very successful at it. We have been breeding Newfoundland’s and German Shepherds for over 30 years so we have a fierce love for the animal kingdom which is why we fell in love with our home. Every morning and throughout the day, wildlife of all types visit the property.
I am certified in many areas of the animal field and also was a head vet tech for over 10 years. We have owned and operated our own dog boarding and training facility for over 20 years. Our entire life has been filled with canine love. My husband is also a laborer for the past 25 years and I am also a (human) Master Personal Trainer. We are very busy people! 🤗
We recently purchased the home 2 years ago, we absolutely fell in love with the property. However, the house needed a lot of help, more than one can fathom… but we took it on anyway.
For 2 years we worked non stop and have remodeled everything from the ground up. It has been a process, however we are thankful for the home we love so very much and hope you will as well.
We recently discovered some news that requires us to move in with my mother as she can no longer care for herself. We were heartbroken to think we may have to sell our dream home and especially how hard we both worked on it. We decided to put all options on the table and sharing our home with others to enjoy and experience was top on the list! We love that others can truly relish in the beauty of our private retreat and we can still hold onto our home and the memories it has created for us and for many others!

Why they chose this property

The scenery changes every day from looking out the numerous waterfront windows and French doors to the deck! One could never imagine the sky to be so many beautiful colors! The view never gets old!
We love the peacefulness, privacy and all the wild animals who visit daily. A true feeling of being solely with Mother Nature. Also, the fishing is fantastic as the fish spawn right past the house. There are rapids on each side of the lake and no public access so it is extremely private.
It is also only 3 miles to town for shopping, dining and nightlife. Only minutes away from Giants Ridge Ski & Golf Resort and ATV/Snowmobile trails right from our driveway!
Location of our home is wonderful, close to town yet 15 acres of complete privacy.

What makes this property unique

Words can not express the beauty of this property, it truly needs to be seen and experienced by oneself. The sky paints a different gorgeous picture each morning and evening and leaves us speechless at times. The sounds of nature sing daily without boat motors in the background. You truly feel one with Mother Nature.
The view from the spa room will also leave one speechless. Beauty at its finest.
