About this property

THE CAMPFIRE LODGE @ BIG POWDERHORN MTN WITH HOT TUB

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 a 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.

Comfort and convenience

We had a nice stay at the Campfire Lodge. It had everything we needed for our stay. We felt comfortable and cozy all weekend and enjoyed the hot tub while watching the snow fall. Very close to the slopes and no issues arose with the property.

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!

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

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Murphy

Host profile image
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
