About this property

Welcome to Hillside Haus: Your Cozy Trailside Retreat!

Main Floor Bliss: Delight in two cozy bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and an open layout encompassing the kitchen, dining, and a sunlit living room.
Upper Oasis: Find sanctuary in an additional bunk room, private bathroom, and a dedicated family lounge. It's the perfect spot for the kids to have their own space. With a sofa that doubles as a sleeper, a TV, and games, it's the perfect nook for leisure. Plus, step out onto the deck and soak in the wooded views and ski hill just beyond!

Our office is right here in the Powderhorn area with on-site maintenance, housekeeping, and reservation staff ready to help. You’ll always have support nearby, and if you’d rather not stop in, we’re also available 24/7 by call, message, or email. Whatever works best for you, we’re here to make your stay as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, the Powderhorn area is a true four-season destination.
The neighborhood also offers great local spots to enjoy—grab a hearty meal at Iron Nugget, sip a coffee at Copper Cup, try out a beer at Cold Iron Brewery or try a local favorite at Pit Stop, Uptown Café, or Club 28. You’ll also find shopping, live music, and seasonal festivals nearby that bring the community to life.

In winter, you’re just steps from Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort and a few miles from Snow River for skiing and snowboarding, along with direct access to hundreds of miles of scenic snowmobile trails. When the snow melts, the adventure continues with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, fishing, and exploring the beauty of the Northwoods.

This is a nice place for a small to mid size group. We were a group of 5 adults and had plenty of room. Ski in/out is always wonderful. The outdoor covered hot tub was a great bonus after a day of skiing. Have stayed here before - will stay again.

Great location and space

My family of 6 had a great vacation staying at Hillside Haus and skiing right onto and off of the hill. The space was plenty for our family of 4 young adult boys. We had separate lounging areas up and down to get away and plenty of room to gather as well.

Awesome Ski in/Ski out Chalet!

This is a great little vacation home located right on the slope. Our family enjoyed all of the snow and the ability to ski in ski out was fantastic! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax after a long day of skiing and the hot tub was a nice plus!

Just right for our skiing family

Hillside Haus was very comfortable for our skiing family. It was very clean! There was plenty of room for everyone. The fireplace worked great. The hot tub was wonderful. The roads and our driveway was plowed several times during our stay and they managed to keep the snow away from our parked cars. Much appreciated! We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and want to return next summer. Our only concern is the front three steps lean down due to sinking into ground. This causes it difficult to go up and down , especially for us seniors.

Hillside Haus needs some work

This is the second time we have renred this house and have stated previously that it would be helpful to provide a guide to the tv. It is not something that comes easily for people when there are 4 different remotes. Also, the staircase at the front door is too short (not up to code). Again, we have stated this before and it is very dangerous on snowy stairs. Lastly, the furniture upstairs is broken. The sofa slants to the point where one cannot sit on it comfortably. The downstairs beds were comfortable but our guests had a hard time on the upper level. We do like this property and hope these r things can be rectified in order to rent this property again. Thank you for the quick response in the things BPLA could quickly take care of, like new pots and lightbulbs.

A Wonderful Winter Break in a Winter Wonderland

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Hillside Haus over our Winter Break. We were able to downhill ski at Big Powderhorn Ski Area. We were also able to do Nordic Skiing at Wolverine and ABR. We could walk up the hill to get to the Nordic skiing area!The Haus was beautiful with a hot tub and all kinds of amenities. We enjoyed the wood-burning stove and the well-stocked kitchen. For a socially distanced vacation, we ate well, we were warm, and we had loads of fun! We highly recommend Hillside Haus!

House perfect; Roads poor to impassable!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hillside road had not been plowed or sanded whenwe arrived around 4 p.m. We contacted management andthey dispatched a truck/plow which we followed up the hill.Only one vehicle reached the house. The other two backed down.Finally, all 8 women and their luggage/food arrived....but one car was left at the office until the next day when sanding was adequate.

Long Ski Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hillside Haus provided the perfect long weekend getaway. Nice fit for two families who wanted convenient slopeside access! Loved the cubbies/lockers for all the winter and ski gear! In other rentals we have used, it can be tricky to find a spot to let everything dry out for next day—so the cubbies might have been my favorite amenity! The upstairs bedroom and loft area were a great way for kids to have their own space when needed. Overall we were very happy at Hillside Haus and would definitely rent again!

Relaxing, inviting, and a great place for a family getaway.

Relaxing, inviting, and a great place for a family getaway. We had our extended family with us: grandma, aunts, uncle, cousins, ages 4 to 71 and everyone had a great time relaxing with nature, seeing some waterfalls, fishing, and combing the shoreline. The property was well kept and plenty of space for all, even if someone needed to get away from the rest of us for some quiet time. They have the inside updated and had no concerns while there. Their kitchen was one of the best supplied I've seen; they even had a tea kettle and as a tea drinker, I've never seen one at a cabin or resort kitchenette till now! We didn't ski as it was fall, but we still used the ski cubbies. They worked great for everyone to have their own luggage cubbie for their stuff without it being all over the cabin, especially for the kids. I would highly recommend this property.

Comfortable cabin with a lot of flex space

My friends and I really enjoyed our time at the cabin. There was a lot of outdoor spaces and indoor flex space that made our time there very comfortable because, for example, we could eat dinner on the back upstairs porch, at the big downstairs dining room table, in the upstairs living room, or on the front porch on the ground level. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We were happy to stay there. Thank you.
