In a nutshell, we loved our stay. Beautiful and well-maintained historic property right near to Giants Ridge. Shawn took great care to ensure a very pleasant stay! Mesabi bike trail within walking distance, the best public golf the state has to offer, swimming access on Embarrass Lake (again, walking distance), and easy journey to lots else (mine tour at Soudan, food co-op in Virginia, etc.). It was perfect, even with no campfires allowed due to the drought. We stayed for two weeks. A couple things to note: (1) stove is older and need to use care when lighting the pilot light and burners; (2) laundromat not in house - we went to Gilbert; (3) we chose to purchase a hotspot for the duration of our stay to be able to stream things on Netflix, etc, but Direct TV was a nice bonus and would have been fine!

The farmhouse is adorable and is in a lovely setting. There were a few snowstorms while we were there and the log fireplace kept us warm and cozy. It’s a 5 minute drive to Giants Ridge as well. The owner is responsive and gets back to you quickly with answers to questions. We had a great experience overall. Thanks!

Property has a great location and is in excellent condition. Two points renters should be aware of: 1. Layout of bedrooms is such that you have to travel directly through one bedroom to get to the other 2. Charcoal BBQ grill is very old and needs replacing.

Clean, well laid out, and updated. I loved the wood stove in the kitchen.

Enjoyable property. Would be delighted to stay here again.

very unique and very clean. looking forward to trying the other cabins

My wife was not excited that I extended our Lake Superior tour for another couple days to Biwabik... until we got there. Gorgeous property with each house cuter than the next. I don’t typically use words like cute and adorable, but Shawn has created something special. Really great experience at Green Gate and fun exploring the surrounding towns to experience small town USA living. Soudan Mine tour was great for the kids (and me) and convenient for a half days fun.

This property was the perfect family getaway to relax and unwind in the northwoods. We spent a long weekend skiing, tubing, hiking, and cooking meals in the farmhouse kitchen. The space was warm and comfortable. The architecture and furnishings are charming and full of character. We will be back!

The farmhouse was so fun to stay in. We had 6 adults and had a great time!!!

I needed extra accommodations for family members during Christmas and this was the best! Great location, beautiful grounds and super host! My family will be staying there again this summer for our family reunion. For a small town community Greengate is a huge find! I can't say enough about it! Thank you Shawn!

Enjoyed staying in the Farmhouse! Love the history & tranquility of the setting!

This is our 3rd year staying at the farmhouse. Wonderful amenities and very clean and well kept. Fabulous accommodations for our golf group.

This was the second time we stayed at Greengate. The kids loved the grounds and checking for eggs every day, I loved the farmhouse, screened in porch and the attention to small details from the decorating to the functioning kitchen. Shawn has created an inviting, comfortable and trendy space. We highly recommend this serene property!

We all love the cabins , Shawn was amazing with us ....

Loved the screened porch and fire pit, that had all the makings for a roaring fire stacked nearby. The place is peaceful and beautiful. Last year I stayed in the barn home and this year in the farmhouse. Although very different, they are equally comfortable and well-equipped. Next year I hope to try out the log cabin!

My husband and I brought our 2 young boys up North for a winter vacation and this was the PERFECT place! We enjoyed hiking around the property and using the fire pit to enjoy the clear starry evening. The barn house was so great for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to make all of our meals, the couch in the living space was super comfy, all the blankets and quilts on the beds were very cozy. The decorations in the house were all great, the attention to detail just fantastic. I can't say enough about how well appointed this house was! Dealing with Shawn was a breeze, he was quick to respond to all of our questions. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a getaway, the vicinity to Giants Ridge, Biwabik and a lot of other fun stuff is just perfect! We're coming back for sure!

Thanks for a great stay! We will be back! The Farmhouse was perfect for our family. Clean, comfortable and quiet!

We have stayed at Shawn's Farmhouse for the past 2 winters and we absolutely LOVE it! It has been meticulously renovated and the decoration and design is awesome. Has everything you need and Shawn is a great host - if you have any questions at all, he is easy to reach. I just wish we could stay longer!

Great experience at the farmhouse. It was close to the slopes and ski trails. Our kids loved the bunks. My only complaint would be the extra firm bed. But we adjusted. We rented both the farmhouse and the barn with another family and it was great for together time and quiet time when needed. thanks for the wonderful stay!

we went a for visit in Feb 2016 from a friend's recommendation. We had a ball! Beautiful decorating , comfortable house for whole the family. So , we signed up for Dec and Jan and March , too

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Green Gate farmhouse for nine days. What a nice facility! The renovation on this property shows what a master craftsman can accomplish. The farmhouse has modern conveniences set in a well thought out design with nuances that keep the original feel and atmosphere. Shawn Callahan couldn't have more gracious or accommodating. He made himself available to us throughout our stay and now we count him as a friend . If you are visiting the North woods, I can't imagine you could arrange for better accommodations.
