Four Season Minnesota Northwoods Paradise!

Look no further, as this place has it all! This spacious and immaculately-detailed condo easily sleeps 8, on the quiet 3rd floor at The Lodge at Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort--a year-round family vacation destination. Ideal location at the bottom of the ski hill and adjacent to the championship golf course, The Legend, and just a few miles from The Quarry.

The Lodge at Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort is a year-round family vacation destination. It is an ideal location at the bottom of the ski hill and adjacent to the championship golf course, The Legend, and just a few miles from The Quarry. The Lodge offers Neighbor's BBQ Company & bar (featured on America's Best Restaurants), Aveda spa, indoor pool and hot tub, exercise gym, arcade, huge outdoor decks, and a fire pit. There is a business office, meeting and event spaces, and high speed internet. The Lodge is on the Mesabi bike trail, which extends from the Mississippi River to the Boundary Waters. The Mountain Bike Park is the largest lift-serviced bike park in the Midwest. There are countless miles of nearby trails for walking, hiking, biking, nordic/cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ATV/UTV/4-wheeler fanatics. There are several gorgeous lakes within minutes of The Lodge, for water sports, boating/pontooning, and fishing/ice fishing, including Sabin, Wynne, and Embarrass Lakes.

You will have access to the all areas and amenities at the Lodge, including the pool, exercise room, gift shop and sundry, lobby/gathering area, business office, arcade, Neighbor's BBQ Company, and the huge deck facing the ski slopes. There will be a key provided for access to the pool/hot tub area and exercise room, as those are locked.

I strive to make sure that my guests have everything they need to have a fantastic stay! Though I do not live near the condo, I am extremely responsive to questions/texts, and I will do whatever I can to assist you. If a situation is more urgent, I will reach out to my associates in the area to assist, as able. You certainly can also ask for assistance at the front desk!

If you love to be outside, you are coming to heaven on earth!

Recreational activities in the Spring/Summer/Fall include: Golfing at the pristine and award-winning Legend and Quarry championship golf courses, as well as The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, just 30 minutes away; hundreds of miles of ATV/off-roading trails and the Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Park; boating/fishing, kayaking and canoeing on breathtakingly beautiful lakes; a 32-foot climbing wall with 6 auto-belay climbing lanes; one of the longest and most challenging disc golfing courses in Minnesota; miles of hiking and walking trails for all ages and ability levels; 8 gravity-flow mountain biking trails with lift-assist to the top (Fridays through Sundays), over 10 miles of cross-country single track mountain biking trails; and over 135 miles of road biking on the historic Mesabi Trail. For the kiddos, there is a playground located between The Lodge and the Giants Ridge Chalet. There is plenty of room for ATV/UTV trailer parking in the enormous parking lot at The Lodge.

Winter enthusiasts will fall in love with alpine/nordic skiing & snowboarding on 35 downhill runs, serviced by 6 lifts; snow tubing (on select weekends); 40 miles of groomed cross country ski trails; fat tire biking (if conditions permit); hundreds of miles of snowmobiling trails; 5 snowshoeing trails; and ice fishing on the nearby lakes. Skis, snowboards, snowshoes, and fat tire bikes are available for rent at the Giants Ridge Chalet. Ski and board lessons are also available. Plenty of space is available in the parking lot for snowmobile trailers.

Lovely experience at the lodge!
We really enjoyed staying at the Lodge at Giant’s Ridge in this property. The listing is very accurate and the rooms were comfortable. We loved that we could ski from the back of the property and store our equipment in the equipment room by check-in. The pool and hot tub were also nice! The kitchen was well-stocked and our party of 6 appreciated having two bathrooms. The host was very communicative and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Great ski in ski out location
Super convenient, clean and well stocked. There's a few quirks (no windows in second bedroom, dated decor) but got the job done!

Ski in/ski out!
We loved the convenience of the Lodge - we took advantage of the well-equipped kitchenette for breakfast and lunch, rather than eat in the chalet, then had dinner in the restaurant on site. It's also great to soak in the hot tub in the middle of the day, before going out for a few more runs. A view of the slopes was a nice bonus.

Third Floor Paradise
We had a wonderful time at the Lodge located at Giants Ridge. We have rented from Giants in the past and thought we would try a VRBO this time. Boy were we ever pleased. We had a beautiful hillside view and the third floor was GREAT! No loud ski boots were thumping around above us. Thanks for sharing your space, Eldon! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Pre-Christmas escape
Our first time visiting Giants Ridge in the winter. Lovely condo and access to all of the great amenities at The Lodge. We walked out the door on to the nordic ski trail! A few down hill runs were open, and despite the lack of snow we enjoyed the slopes. Our host provided excellent restaurant recommendations, which were needed as the unit only had a single burner induction plate.
