Powderhorn Hideaway

This house runs on fun. THE KITCHEN & LIVING: Exposed vertical log walls from the original 1800s homestead anchor a kitchen no new construction can replicate. Concrete countertops, blue cabinetry, stainless appliances, long prep counter, built for groups. A pellet stove, timber beams, and a carved wooden archway connect everything from old to new. THE COFFEE BAR: Dedicated espresso and beverage bar with a Jura machine stocked for the stay, wine fridge, and so much character. Morning coffee before the trailhead hits differently. The kids get two entire levels to disappear into: UPSTAIRS: a hidden passage leads to: Planetarium, hand-painted star ceiling mural, working constellation projector Game loft, Catan, Monopoly, Scrabble, and more THE PLAY ZONE (basement): Climbing wall, monkey bars, a slide, hammock netting, and the ultimate fort-building space, piled with play mattresses for the fort of a lifetime.

Spacious second bath with agate tile, round mirror, and gold sconces. OUTSIDE: BBQ grill and a fire pit, with firewood included (it's stocked in the red shed).

Danielle and Steve live right here in the neighborhood, and you'll have our direct number for anything that comes up during your stay.
Powderhorn Hideaway sits in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan near Bessemer, one of the most adventure-dense corners of the Midwest. You're minutes from the Black River Scenic Byway and its five waterfalls (Conglomerate, Potawatomi, Gorge, Sandstone, and Rainbow Falls), hundreds of miles of ORV trails, and the Lake Superior shoreline. Powderhorn Mountain Resort is nearby for skiing in winter. Downtown Ironwood and Bessemer have restaurants, grocery stores, and shops within 10-15 minutes.
A car is essential: this is the UP. The nearest airport is Gogebic-Iron County Airport (IWD) in Ironwood, about 15 minutes away. Larger airports: Duluth International (DLH) ~2 hours. Most trails, waterfalls, and attractions are within 30-45 minutes. Grocery options: Ironwood (~10 min) or Wakefield (~10 min).
