Family Fun · Indoor Play Zone · UP Waterfalls

Spend the morning hiking to waterfalls, the afternoon on the ORV trails of the Northwoods, and the evening with your entire crew around a fire while the kids have disappeared into a three-room indoor play zone. Powderhorn Hideaway is a 4-bedroom UP Michigan retreat built for groups who want adventure over screens — a Jura pulling espresso, Northern Lights on clear nights, and more to do inside than outside.

Good to know

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/ 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. THE BEDROOMS (4 total, sleeps 16): Primary suite — king bed, TV, blackout curtains, floor-length mirror Second king suite — king bed, TV, blackout curtains, floor-length mirror Double bedroom — two double beds, great light (sleeps 4) Bedroom 4, the basement fort room — 8 twin beds right off the play zone (the kids will never want to leave) THE BATHROOMS (2 full baths, both with showers): 1st floor bath with stone tile, walk-in shower, and burnt wood details. 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). Coming soon: a pickleball court (the base is in, just waiting on blacktop, so you may notice the footprint in the yard) and a sauna shed. Washer/dryer. Starlink WiFi. Smart TVs with streaming throughout. Pack 'n Play available. Pets welcome ($50/pet per stay). Danielle and Steve live right here in the neighborhood — you'll have our direct number for anything that comes up during your stay.

Other Details to Note

Before arrival you'll complete a quick online check-in through Happy Guest — verify your info, sign the rental agreement, and choose either a $500 refundable security hold or a $49 non-refundable damage waiver. Happy Guest then delivers your private keypad code, WiFi, driving directions, and any early or late check-in options you've added. Pets are welcome with prior approval — $50 per pet per stay. Please add your pets to the traveler count when booking so the fee is applied automatically. Keep pets off furniture, leashed outside, never unattended, and clean up after them. This is a rural property: cell service can be iffy. connect to wifi and turn on wifi calling when you arrive. Firewood for the fire pit is included — grab what you need from the red shed south of the garage. Please place trash in dumpster only. We do have wild life and they WILL get into it if you leave it out.

Neighborhood

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 National Forest and its 5 stunning 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.

Guest Access

The entire home is yours — all 4 bedrooms (including the basement fort room with 8 twin beds), 2 full bathrooms, full kitchen, living room, dining room, and the 3-room indoor play zone/ fort building space in the lower level. The yard, fire pit, and exterior are all available. Park in the gravel area near the road — please don't block the dumpster or garage, and keep it passable in case we need to pop by. The large garage at the back of the property is our shop and off-limits to guests. We do our best not to need to stop by while you're staying with us, but we appreciate your understanding. We (Danielle and Steve) live right here in the neighborhood and their direct number is provided at booking for any questions.

Reviews

May 2026
We had an awesome stay at Steve and Danielle's property! They were very responsive and accomodating to any questions we had. The house is fully updated, well furnished/designed, and was a good size for our extended family get together of 5 adults and 8 kids (all under the age of 8). The kids absolutely loved the basement sensory/play room and will always remember sleeping under the nugget tents we made for them. We traveled end of May and enjoyed hiking and waterfalls only 15 minutes away. Great location and stay!
