Forbes House | Biwabik Bunkhouse near Giants' Ridge

4 Bedroom House in Forbes, Aurora

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 two docks and a boathouse. Pontoon boat on site is available for rental, as well!
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, Air hockey table, 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.

Summary: Beautiful lakefront home. Especially enjoyed time on the lake with a variety of small watercraft toys (kayaks, paddle board and canoe). Small hiccup with not having the correct code to the door at checkin; resolved with a couple phone calls.Kindly refunded pet cleaning fee on day of check in when we didn’t bring our dog.Easy to communicate with throughout the week when various questions came up. Enjoyed our stay overall.
