Timber Ridge History

This section shares a brief history and photos of the former Timber Ridge resort once located on the east side of Sibley Lake, along Pequot Lakes Boulevard.

The property was later transformed into a restaurant by the same name, owned and operated by Mike Sauer. Today, the land has been subdivided into residential lots, and the former restaurant building now serves as a single-family home.

Additional details, including a list of past owners, can be found in the photo section.
