Luxurious Lakefront Retreat: 4 Br/3 Ba, Ski/Golf/Swim, Sleeps 16

Fairway Ridge is Biwabik’s Ultimate Luxury Vacation Home! Completed in August 2013, this brand new four bedroom, three bath lake front home is finely crafted and designed, offering the finest of accommodations. Located directly across from Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Resort, Fairway Ridge offers picturesque views of the lighted slopes in the winter and the pristine waters of Wynne Lake in the summer.

At 3600+sq ft, the spacious, open-concept floor plan is great for families or large groups yet cozy enough for a romantic couple’s weekend. The latest amenities abound including main level heated floors, a gourmet kitchen with knotty alder cabinetry, one-of-a kind Brazilian granite countertops, a gas range and all new cookware. In the dining room a built-in bar area houses the stemware and dual zoned wine fridge while the custom built counter height dining table seats 8. Four additional high-top chairs at the center island ensure ample seating for the whole family.

Comfortable seating surrounds the 42” lighted gas fireplace with floor to ceiling stone surround, hand hewn cedar mantle and 55” flat panel LCD smart TV. Built-in surround sound, Free WiFi, Direct TV with movie and music channels, a Blue Ray player and a wide array of DVDs invite you to settle in for movie night after an active day of hiking, swimming, biking, golfing or skiing. The great room’s stunning 20 foot wall of windows and unique real-log accents will make you feel a part of nature no matter the weather.

The main floor Master Bedroom includes its own private walkout, king sized bed, walk-in closet and private Master Bath complete with a six foot soaking tub, dual his/her sinks and a massive walk-in shower with multiple shower heads.

The convenient custom built coat lockers and a large laundry room with front loading washer and dryer are located just off the heated garage.

Upstairs the cozy reading loft overlooking the family room offers views of the lake and ski hill and is the perfect place to relax with a good book or to gather with your crew for board games or cards. Two upper bedrooms each offer a queen bed with luxury bedding, spectacular lake views and a high definition flat panel TV with Direct TV. The fourth bedroom (bunkroom) was built with the kids in mind but can be perfect for multiple adults with 3 full sized beds and 4 twins, all built extra-long to accommodate even the taller guests. This bunkroom is a great movie or gaming hideaway with its 50” flat panel TV.

One of Fairway Ridge's finest features is the wonderful slab on grade design allowing for a direct walkout to the huge concrete patio with its antique sugar kettle fire pit, plenty of seating, a BBQ grill and option for stocked firewood. 175’ of Wynne Lake shoreline and a floating dock are conveniently located directly across from the public boat launch. Bring your own toys or ask us about rental options for pontoons, jets skis, ATVs and snowmobiles. Additional options include housekeeping, catering and concierge services for grocery, propane and firewood delivery or for scheduling spa services, tee times or dinner reservations.

Fairway Ridge is a member of the Voyageurs Retreat at Giant’s Ridge: an executive community, fully paved and beautifully landscaped, offering hiking trails, swimming beaches, day-use canoes and picnic areas. This vacation home is connected to city utilities (water, sewer and natural gas) and offers free high speed internet and satellite TV (Direct TV) with hundreds of channels.

Awesome place!!
My husband and I came here for long weekend to golf and hike. It was an awesome place and super cozy. I felt so much at home and loved the views. You can see the ski hill at Giants Ridge from the kitchen,living room and upper loft. I'm so excited to come back for the winter to go skiing and bring back my entire family. My kids/nieces and nephews will love the room above the garage. It's amazing......

Beautiful home!
This is a great house! There were 7 adults, 6 kids and 1 dog and it worked out perfectly. The kids played and watched movies in the bunk room and loved the great selection of movies. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed and more. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO houses around the world and this is one of the nicest we have stayed in. Great skiing at Giants Ridge and the Mesabi trail is near by. Hope to go back in the summer!

MAGIC.......
While some of the men went deer hunting, the rest of the family chose to live in utmost luxury at this property! It was spotless! It was beyond beautiful! Absolutely everything was top-notch -an alcove to enjoy with a cup of coffee and a good book, cozy blankets to snuggle with, beautiful appointments, kid space - gramma space, - it was, in a word, MAGICAL!

Perfect!
The house and furnishings were wonderful! We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and Christmas with our three children, their spouses, eight grandchildren (5 months - 9 years old) and one dog. The house and tree were beautifully decorated for Christmas. The bunk room was a big hit with the kids. We enjoyed playing games, watching Christmas movies, making cookies, bonfires, ice fishing, sliding, skiing, snow tubing, swimming at Giant's Ridge Lodge and taking walks to explore the beauty and tranquility this location offers. It was perfect!

Weekend get away
My wife and I stayed here with another couple for a long weekend in July and it couldn’t have been better. We rented ATVs from the owners and they had the machines on site, trailered and ready for us on arrival. It was absolutely hassle free. We spent two days exploring the great area trails and had a blast. The girls went to the spa at The Lodge and said it was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The house is definitely brand new top quality construction and furnishings are high end (my wife now wants to buy the Restoration Hardware bedroom set!). The owners left a great welcome book with ideas of things to do and favorite restaurants to visit. On their recommendation we visited Burntside Lodge in Ely for dinner (about 45 minutes away) and would definitely agree-it is a must. Thank you for offering five-star accomodations and fantastic service in such a great part of MN. We will be back for snowmobile season!

Luxury in the Wilderness
I hate to write a review as I can only imagine this place will book up fast; I'd like to keep it to myself! My husband, 2 year-old and I spent a very peaceful weekend in this gorgeous new Lake Home. If offered the tranquility of a deep woods lodge with the amenities of a 5-star resort. The cabin sits across from the ski hill (though no skiers in August!) - I can assume will provide fantastic views when we return in the winter! We swam right off our own private dock in a very quiet lake (very little boat traffic). The bike/nature trails were a great way to get some additional fresh air, when we tired of relaxing on the expansive patio. It's about 5-10 mn to the nearest town (Biwabik) which has plenty of small stores and shops; and there are restaurants and bars within the same distance. This area and home are untapped gems in Northern MN - Thank you for your hospitality! Sherri and Ben

Perfect get-away location!
We spent a lovely Thanksgiving weekend in this amazing house and couldn't have been happier. The house was impeccable with so many detailed touches, and the view out the floor-to-ceiling living room windows was absolutely breathtaking. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our two kids (ages 3 and 7) were giddy with excitement upon seeing the bedroom with all the bunk beds. The adults were tempted to sleep in there too--such a unique space! We had everything we needed to make our turkey dinner and relax afterwards. Giant's Ridge Ski Resort is just a few minutes away (and you can see the slopes out the front window!), so we spent two days there skiing. We also had a great time traipsing around in the snow with the kids and building forts. We have stayed in numerous VRBOs, but this one takes the prize. Todd and Nancy's attention to detail is unsurpassed. (They even apologized that one of the remote controls required tape to hold the battery cover in place. The replacement had not yet arrived! We likely wouldn't have even noticed.) We definitely recommend anyone to stay here! Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Peaceful, Relaxing, & Luxurious
I have nothing but great things to say about this rental! Nancy is so easy to work with, very professional, and responds to all questions immediately. The house was beautiful and luxurious, and accommodated our family reunion perfectly. All 16 family members, varying in ages from 6 years to 70 years, had a great time and found ways to enjoy the vacation. I personally loved being able to enjoy the Mesabi Bike trail, loved taking our rented canoe out on the lake, and enjoyed curling up in a cozy chair by the fire to read a book. The large, modern kitchen has everything you need to prepare large dinners. There seriously wasn't ever a time where I wished they had something...they have thought of everything! The open layout is perfect for encouraging family time, but there's space enough to retreat to quiet areas as well if you need a break. The master bathroom is AMAZING! It's my dream to have one just like it someday! All the kids loved the bunk room (looks like a Dream Room straight from Pinterest!) and it made for great bonding between cousins who rarely get to spend time together. Tears were shed on the last day because no one wanted to leave! The lake is quiet and offers lots of privacy. While families were vacationing on either side of the house, we hardly saw or heard them while they were there. If you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful, and luxurious vacation, I highly recommend Fairway Ridge!

Perfection!
Our group of 15 (six adults and 9 kids) stayed over MEA weekend in this amazing and beautiful home. I don't even know where to start with this review. Everything was perfect!! Though we were a large group we never once felt crowded. The kids all slept in the awesome bunkroom (it's jaw-dropping and boy did we earn some "cool parent" points!) and still had plenty of room to play. The solid construction and floor plan made it possible for the adults to enjoy a few late nights in the great room playing games and listening to the awesome surround sound while the kids enjoyed their alone time or slept soundly in the bunk room. We couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear us. It was fantastic! The fire pit was a hug hit. We had a fire going all weekend and used the stocked wood provided (we left $50 for the wood we used - a bargain!). The kitchen was well-stocked with anything and everything you'll ever need. We cooked two large breakfasts and three huge dinners and never ran out of room. The development is beautiful with hiking/biking trails everywhere and even OHV/snowmobile trails nearby. Tons of stuff to do, all within about a 3.5 hour drive from the southwest suburbs of Minneapolis. The owners, Nancy and Todd could not have been nicer or easier to work with. So quick to respond and incredibly helpful. We will, without a doubt, be back. We are already trying to find a date for skiing/snowmobiling and another trip next summer to enjoy the lake. If you're looking for a great house that accommodates a large group - don't hesitate to book this house.

Perfect for our Family Reunion
This property was perfect for our group of 14. With 7 adults and 7 children it is difficult to find a place that accommodates us all comfortably. This home was so spacious and comfortably furnished that we never felt crowded--even when we were all inside at the same time! The bunk room was perfect for the kids! Each of them had a comfortable bed, all in the same room, and they could all wind down together in the evenings with a movie or some video games. The property outside was even more beautiful than the pictures portray. We loved the patio with the fire pit, and enjoyed a bon fire every night we were there. The owners, Nancy and Todd, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more! They were available to us the entire week and always responded immediately to us when we had questions. The lake was beautiful and having the pontoon and fishing boat was a big plus! There is a swimming beach not too far down on the lake that we took the kids to when they wanted to go swimming. Some of us used the trails for running and biking and they were absolutely gorgeous!!! We were there strictly to have family time together, so we didn't take advantage of the golf courses or restaurants that are in the area. Nancy recommended a caterer, "From the Farm Catering", and the food from there was outstanding! Yvette, cooked and brought our dinners to us 5 of the 7 nights we were there and everything was delicious!!! She also brought us breakfast items and some lunch and snack items with our dinners to use the next day. I think we will use her 7 out of 7 nights next time, if she's available!!! Overall, our stay was outstanding! Our family is scattered all over the country, and the opportunity to have them all together in one place for a week is so special! This vacation rental exceeded our expectations and we would recommend it to anyone!

Great For an Extended Family Retreat
This was the second time staying on this lake and was a fabulous upgrade! From the very first communication with the owner, Nancy, we were taken care of with all of our questions. We found the Bunkroom extremely useful with our group of rowdy boys. Also, the amenities outside were more than ample to satisfy the most adventurist of the group. The firepit was a huge draw every night, and the dock was a great platform for all of our water activities. We rented a pontoon and transported it to the lake to give us lots of time exploring and fishing. The property was very quiet to provide the best relaxation possible. Wynne Lake has so much to offer with the ski hill, trails for days, and of course the fishing. We had very good luck this trip and all of the boys caught many fish. It will be hard not to pick this location again next time and we look forward to working with Nancy and her fantastic home again soon.

P&S Review
The beautiful property was exactly as shown and expected for our stay. Very accommodating and owners communication is great. We had fun snowmobiling right from the backyard to the trails and even enjoyed a bonfire in the backyard. Giants Ridge for skiiing was right across the lake and a few minutes drive away. Location is great for those activities and i'm sure the Summer and Fall months have just as much for entertainment with off-road fun nearby. We would recommend this cabin property for a large group to spend quality time together!

We spent two straight years at Fairway Ridge for an annual golf getaway and the place is everything that is advertised. Incredibly clean and well stocked and working with Nancy is a pleasure. The bunk room makes it great for either a good sized group of friends or two or three families getting together any time of year.
