Find winter fun and relaxation at our Northwoods getaway! Located just North of US Hwy 2 between Ironwood and Bessemer in Big Snow Country of Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, Waldhein is the red chalet with sand and slate-colored trim at the corner of Creekside Trail and Powderhorn Road. Conveniently located on your way to the main lodge of Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort, our pull-thru driveway accesses both roads, so parking is ample for multiple vehicles. No need to turn trailers around, just pull right on through!

We’re minutes from Blackjack and Indianhead Mountain for boarding and downhill skiing variety.

For your Big Powderhorn Mountain experiences, you can WALK up Powderhorn Road to Lift #1 (about 1200 ft), drive, or you can take the shuttle during snow season to the Gun Barrel Lodge or any of the other bars/restaurants in the Mountain area.

Cross-country skiers can pole across the road for local Nordic trails and are in close proximity to the 26 Km Wolverine Nordic Cross Country Ski & Mountain Bike Trails.

Waldhein is a two-level chalet with front decks on the main and upper levels. The lower front deck with charcoal grill on the main level (except during snow season).

Cozy homebase for a long weekend of skiing in the area. Beds are comfortable, there were plenty of extra blankets to cuddle up in the evenings, kitchen was well stocked and the woodburning fireplace was a plus. The cabin had great character and a perfect location.Tips for future renters: when arriving look for a sign that says Creekside to find the cabin. There was a lot of snow so it was a little hard to see the turn off when we arrived in the evening. Also, the leather chair is a recliner! ;-)

Thanks for an amazing place to stay. The house is so cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place for our winter weekend. We skied at big Powederhorn and Snow River, so the location was perfect. We also snow shoed the Wolverine Nordic trails, which were just down the road. Thanks for being an excellent host and being dog friendly! We can't wait to come back!!!

Perfect chalet

The house was just perfect. Very clean and welcoming as soon as we walked into the door. Plenty of firewood already in place for us to use. The house was warm and felt just like home. I couldn't ask for any better communication with the owners too. It was the perfect get away and if we decide to visit the area again we will try to rent this home once more. Everything was just perfect for our family get away.

We are delighted that your family's stay was so pleasant:) Please do consider returning to Waldhein. Year-round, there's so much to see and do in the western UP and we find that our cozy home on the creek makes for a perfect base camp. We wish you all the best!

About the host

Hosted by Owner - Waldhein Chalet

Host profile image
We’re the new owners of this adorable cabin, using it primarily as our family getaway in the beautiful Northwoods. We’re excited to share our place with vacationers, family and friends!

Why they chose this property

Set back in the tree colors of the season, our two level chalet has front decks on the main and upper level and a side deck with charcoal grill.

Ride in/ride out access is usually available for 100 plus miles of ATV fun on WI/MI TRAIL # 2, and we're in close proximity to the 26 Km Wolverine Mountain Bike Trails.

We’re only minutes from Copper Peak and the Black River Harbor on Lake Superior. Be sure to stop and see the waterfalls along the way down Black River Road which is also one of the most scenic fall color byways anywhere.

For the active Spring thru Fall vacationer, there are two public golf courses and boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, climbing, and ATV trails.

You may also just sit on the deck and enjoy the scenery, sunshine, fresh mountain air. You may even hear the mountain stream that flows along the property into Powdermill Creek. Grill on the deck or enjoy one of the many Up North bars/restaurants if you want an evening out.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to recreational trails and Big Powderhorn lifts. Pull your trailer and snowmobiles right on through our double-access driveway and don’t worry about backing up or turning around. During the warmer months, relax on our deck or around our firepit and listen to the creek bubbling in our backyard. Explore more than 200 waterfalls in the area. This is a beautiful place to stay, no matter the season!
