About this property

Welcome to the Campfire Lodge at Big Powderhorn Ski Resort. This spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom A-Frame chalet is located just 3 blocks from the Mountain and just a short drive to Black River Harbor, The Waterfalls, Copper Peak, and much more. We are in the heart of the Western UP vacation country. Our lodge features an infrared sauna, hot tub, seasonal firepit, nice WiFi, 58" smart TV, books and games galore, and most importantly a space to make great memories. The lodge is two story northwoods A-Frame in the "Powder Village" neighborhood near Big Powderhorn Ski Resort. In the winter, the neighborhood is alive with skiers and snowmobilers as the property is close to Snowmobile Trail #2. In the summer, the alpine property hosts hikers and vacationers seeking water and woods.

Not what we expected

This is a very small rental and definitely not 3 bedrooms. The beds were ok, however the (extra) blankets were full of dust. The windows would not open. There was no activity field. There was no wood for a fire or fire starting utensils. The dishes were not clean. This was not a 5 star rental; which is what they asked people to give in the check out instructions. The only thing that saved this rental was the comfortable couch and chair in the living room, the hot tub, and sauna. If cleanliness or quality is what your looking for I would stay away from this rental.

Skiing in sweatshirts!

Came up to the UP for a weekend ski trip and this year despite the lack of snow had a good day of skiing at Snow River in sweatshirts! The campfire Lodge was perfect for our family of 6. The bedrooms are close together upstairs, which is fine for a family and great to have two bathrooms. The kitchen is very nice and the dining area was great for playing cards. Loved having a large sectional so we could all laugh about our day. We will definitely come back. Location is perfect at Powderhorn Village. Communication with Shawn was amazing. He responded twice to two of my questions, and very easy to deal with. five stars for him.

Comfortable A-Frame near Big Powderhorn

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at this A-Frame cabin located less than a mile from Big Powderhorn. Check in was simple. Everything worked. Some of the kitchen items (pots, skillets, utensils, silverware, glassware) could be improved but overall a great stay!

Wonderful winter getaway

Our group of 4 adults and 4 kids had a wonderful stay. We went to snowmobile during spring break and were able to ride directly from the lodge. The sauna was great after a long, cold day of riding. I asked questions prior and was answered promptly. The description was spot on. We were very pleased with our stay! Thank you!

Extremely convenient to Big Powderhorn

If you can't be directly on the mountain, this is the next best thing. There was plenty of sleeping options and more than adequate for my family of 4.

Perfect Getaway

Our trip idea was to be somewhere quiet, peaceful and comfortable as we're a bit too old for tents. Shawn's place was perfect. Beds comfortable. Plenty of amenities. Also only a short jaunt off of the main roads. We visited from Maple Grove, MN on a motorcycle trip (880 miles). Beautiful area. We branched out a different direction every day. Plenty to see and visit then came back to the vrbo for a nice hot tub soak in the evening. Thank you Shawn for the wonderful 5 day stay! I will be recommending to friends and family.

UPERS

We had a very nice time staying in the A Frame on Powderhorn Mountain. A couple of things to mention though, the hot tub had sand in the bottom, there was a broken oscillating fan in the upstairs bedroom, the outside garbage can was completely full upon arrival so we had no where to put our garbage. I know you asked us to place our garbage outside in the can, but it was completely full. Otherwise, had a lovely time. Close to town, Black River Harbor, Little Girls Point. Thanks

Great Yooper Stay for The Forchuly!

Our family has been going to this area for 18 years. Normally we stay with family. This time, we decided to get a place since we brought our sons (18) girlfriend (19) and my daughter (16) brought one of her friends. Still found time to enjoy time with the family and to have our quiet and cozy A-Frame+ chalet which had plenty of room, two bathrooms, big living area and great kitchen space. Hot tub on porch, sauna (infrared), in main bedroom. They even had a dishwasher and laundry. Coffee maker, full dishes. Really don’t need to bring much other than food and cold beverages. They stocked games and a huge l-shaped couch, with big TV. Good parking area at end of road. Just perfect and we anticipate getting this place again when we head back. Final thought, easy access to check in and check out. Host responded when we reached out, but was otherwise like it was our own place. :-)

Retro A-frame close to Big Powderhorn: some issues

Great retro A-frame only a few blocks from Bog Powderhorn ski area. Big living room and well-equipped kitchen! Best for a single family and NOT for several couples because.... Be aware that the 3 bedrooms are all crammed into the loft of the A-frame...and only two have doors, and only 1 is private from the other two. The room with the queen is on the loft overlooking the living room and has no ceiling...so it is basically open to the bedroom with bunk beds (which has no door either). Basically what I'm saying is that there is only one room that is shut off from the others (double bed?). This was fine for our family since it was only us and the kids, but could be awkward if several couples were sharing the space. Also the Satellite TV kept kicking out of reception...Frequently! Had to power off the TV and cable box to restart, and this took between 1 and 3 minutes to get reception back. Up to 15 times in an evening. Annoying. It does indeed have a Sauna, but note that it is TINY and only seats 2 and is jammed into the bedroom with the queen bed. Now more good stuff! Clean and spacious downstairs. Unlike our last A-frame in this area, it had plenty of room to relax, eat together as a family, and room to cook. Very well-equipped kitchen, and a combo coffee pot (regular drip and Keurig-style!). Hot tub is kept on, and was a great treat after a long day of skiing. Sauna is easy to use (but in the master bedroom and only room for 2). Heater blower was loud downstairs, but easy to set temps. Check in was painless since it was only a code to enter into the lock pad.

Relaxing long weekend

What a great way to spend a long weekend! The charm of the lodge matches the rustic beauty of the area. It was welcoming, clean and a great escape from the busy Minneapolis pace. We were here in the winter and spent time exploring - going to the harbor and walking out to Lake Superior. The hot tub was a great way to end the day after a day in the snow. We will be back :)

Spring Break Ski Trip

We made a short trip to the UP for a ski trip with our three kids. The location of this rental is very convenient to Big Powderhorn Resort and we were able to hop in the car and come back to the house for lunch. That is a big time saver as we didn’t need to worry about packing food in the morning. The place has the feel of a ski trip and the hot tub on the deck was a big highlight for everyone! We also enjoyed the ABR Nordic Center in Ironwood one day. This is a fantastic nordic establishment. Thank you for this opportunity.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Murphy

Avid outdoorsman and lover of all things Northwoods. I grew up in the Twin Cities and spent 10 years in the US military serving in both Korea and Afghanistan. I enjoy creating an “up north” experience for guests and recognize the importance of providing the best possible experience we can at a fair price. While it can be stressful managing the properties from so far away, I am complimented by a wonderful local housekeeper, Amanda, who helps out anyway she can.

Why they chose this property

A-Frame lodges are iconic northwoods structures. If you are looking for a true authentic northwoods experience, whether is be for skiing or hiking or whatever outdoor experience you have in mind, why not choose our place. We are one of the only gas ranges (for cooking) in the Powder Village area and one of the few remaining outdoor hot tubs around. Combine that with a recent remodel project, you have a great experience.

What makes this property unique

- A Frame Lodge
- Infrared Sauna
- Good wifi
- Seasonal Outdoor Campfire Ring
- Well appointed kitchen with gas range.
- Beautiful orgininal art work throughout property.

All of my properties have the following on the wall - maybe you can spot them: A deer bottle Opener, a crossed pair of snowshoes, something antique/about the area
