The place was perfect for a family ski trip to Big Powerhorn. The sanua was a welcome releif after the first day, which was windy and snowing. Everything was great. We would stay again.
This is a nice, well-kept place in a peaceful setting. Everything was clean and in great condition, the location is convenient to town and to the waterfalls, and the hosts responded very quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for staying, and please come back any time!!
We property had room for everyone in our party. Closet for all ski gear. Cozy bedrooms. There are two full bathrooms. The hot tub on the deck and the sauna were great!!! Location is very good.
Cozy with all that you may need. Beautful outdoor views. Hot tub and sauna very top notch. Area skiing is the best in the midwest. Wish i could have stayed longer.
Cozy cabin perfectly located for a weekend of skiing at Powderhorn. Loved the hot tub and sauna after a long day of skiing. Well stocked kitchen and sitting area perfect for games and relaxing. Only suggestion would be to update the mattresses but bedding was comfortable and appreciated a fan in each room. Thanks for a great stay!!
This rental property is warm and cozy with a very nice hot tub and a spacious sauna. It’s a very livable setup. The kitchen space is small but effective with plenty of cooking utensils and kitchen gadgets. The sofa was comfy and the dining room table was perfect for games.
We enjoyed our stay here! It was in a great location to do all the hiking we could handle and come back for some R+R. The hot tub and sauna made it easy to sooth sore muscles. The living room had plenty of room for family games. Kitchen had all the essentials. Bedrooms are cozy and all together in the basement. Having two full bathrooms is a great feature. Would not hesitate to recommend this place.

Thank you SO MUCH for staying, and come back any time!!
We stayed two nights. This would be a great location to stay if you’re a winter skier as it’s 2 minutes to the slopes. The unit was clean and spacious enough for the two of us.
One thing we noticed were the floor boards were creeky and loud when in the lower level. The hot tub was awesome both day and night!
We enjoyed our stay at the property. 3 bedrooms was perfect size for us, sauna and hot tub was all we needed after cross country skiing. Communication with the host was prompt. The agreement you accept has "no parties" clause, however the hosts were OK with us inviting friends for a dinner the other day (we gave a notice in advance). We recommend the place and will likely return again ourselves
We had a great time- the location was great and the home was quiet. We cooked all of our meals at the house. After coming home from skiing the sauna was very welcome, and we hot tubbed the last night- very relaxing. It is nice to look out the window and catch glimpses of skiers coming down the hill. The hosts were quite helpful and keep a very clean and well provisioned home. Sean
We stayed here for a ski weekend in February. First and foremost, Marty (owner) was very responsive to all communication and worked to make sure our trip was enjoyable. He shoveled for us (plenty of snow), made sure the hot tub was cleaned off and accessible, paths to our cars, etc. Thank you Marty!You will see from other reviews the unit is comfortable etc. It is! We were a group of 5 adults and it has everything we needed. The hot tub was clean and left nice and hot. We enjoyed this immensely after a long day of skiing (in sub zero temps). It is in close proximity to Powderhorn ski hill in an area with mostly rental units. It was quiet and secure. The front door has an electronic lock which is nice for not having to remember a key. There is enough parking for two vehicles. The parking area is kept clear of snow.The kitchen has newer cabinets and all of the appliances you would need. There were coffee filters, ground coffee, and sugar waiting for us. There is rope lighting on the decks which adds to a nice ambiance. The unit itself is older and rustic. The floors on the main floor squeak and can he heard in the bedrooms below. Maybe come prepared with a white noise machine if that bothers you. It is a side-by-side unit with the owners living in the other side. We are always hesitant about these arrangements as the live-in owners can be intrusive. Not so here! We were left to have our fun with little contact with the owners. Will return!
Everything, including the location from Ironwood, was perfect. A Moonlit soak in the hot tub during a crisp night in December was the icing on the cake!
Really enjoyed our stay!!weather was perfect for mid October. Still a little color in the trees. Rental was in a perfect location for our sightseeing. Made use of the hot tub and grill.
Fun times!!
We were very happy with our stay. Marty and Virginia were very helpful when we needed it and gave great recommendations for things to do the surrounding area. The cabin was great and the hot tub was awesome for a family hang out in the evening.
We enjoyed our summer stay here. It's located near lots of outdoor activities. Close enough to town, but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. We'll come back and stay here during skiing season. The hosts, Virginia and Marty, were fantastic!
Everything was great. Property is right across the street from Big Powderhorn. Hot tub and sauna were a treat after a full day of skiing. Property managers responded to any questions within minutes! Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed over Christmas for some alone time and skiing. Great location and super clean. We LOVED the outdoor hot tub and used it frequently. The owners gave us ideas for dinner and we found a new spot that we will visit each time we are in town.
