Biwabik Bunkhouse near Giants' Ridge

Beautiful lake home on Embarrass Lake, 5 miles to one of the premiere ski and golf resorts in Minnesota, (the Quarry and Legend) and just over 60 miles north of Downtown Duluth. Almost 3600 square feet with nearly 200' of beautiful and sandy lake shore with a gorgeous swimming beach with a dock, kayaks, canoe and many other great toys!

Gaze at the stars from the beautiful wrap-around deck. Spend the day relaxing in the shallow sandy water. Enjoy the evening with a bonfire on the beach shore, playing bags from the walkout basement, with tons of activities to keep the family busy: playground, dartboard, Shuffleboard table, pac-man video games, pellet smoker/grill, foosball, sauna, wet bar, TV's, Internet, and too many other things to list!

Bonfires, star gazing, wildlife, 1000's of acres of public land, OHV/ATV Trails, Paved biking trails, and Giants' Ridge (skiing, snowshoeing, golf, top notch restaurant, ....) being a stones throw from the property... We truly believe there is something for everyone at this beautiful retreat.

This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 6 adults and 5 (grand)children. Plenty of room to gather, cook, play, sleep. The littles (and a couple of adults) loved the game area; they learned to play the Monopoly board game, World Cup on the big screen. Beautiful sloping yard for wiffle ball, kayaks, paddle board and a lily pad they could not get enough of!! Nice sand beach and dock. We brought our fishing boat and caught 25 nice (14-16”) walleyes. Very convenient for shopping in Biwabik and A&W in Aurora. The hosts of this property are amazing and honestly, we can’t WAIT to return.
