Fabulous family getaway that combines the benefits of being on the slope-side for skiers/snowboarders and the trail-side for snowmobilers. It's the perfect place to build family memories while warming your toes in front of the fire, in the community sauna & hot tub or while whipping up hot cocoa in the full kitchen.
If you are looking for variety, you've found it.
Skiers/snowboarders can ski-in and ski-out of Blackjack or take advantage of the area's 'Hill Hopper' lift ticket package by experiencing Indianhead and Big Powderhorn resorts as well. Kids ski 'free' with every adult 'Hill Hopper' lift ticket purchased.
Snowmobilers are one block from over more than 1000 miles of groomed trails. Including unplowed logging trails, railroad grade and secluded trails along Lake Superior. Frozen waterfalls, unique rock formations and the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness make the area a premier snowmobiling destination. If you do not have a snowmobile, we will help you rent one!
Cross Country Skiers can explore one of the finest groomed, tracked X-country ski trail systems in the Midwest, just 7 miles away.
Endless snow makes Bessemer the ultimate Midwest winter destination. Once winter sets in, the snow just keeps piling up, an average of more than 200 inches each season.
We're closer than you think; Bessemer is only 4 hours from Madison, 4 1/2 hours from Minneapolis, 5 from Milwaukee and 6 1/2 from Chicago. You can leave after work, and sleep in Big Snow Country that night! Once you cross into Michigan's Upper Peninsula, you will experience "Americanna" like it was 40 years ago, before commercialization. You will be able to relax and re-connect with family, friends and nature. The Bessemer area is truely a "special" place.
Maplewood is a stand alone, four-plex building on the top of Blackjack Mountain ski area, with four, two bedroom units. It can be utilized individually, with up to 8 people in one unit. Or, you can bring the whole clan and take over the entire building which sleeps up to 32. It is great for family reunions. It is not owned by a large hospitality company, rather, by 3 couples, Julie & Jock, Don & Patti, Jim & Carrie, who use it regularly.
That means it is clean and well maintained! Jock & Julie live only 5 miles away. All units are remodeled with new: pillow top beds, carpet, furniture, 2 person whirlpool bathtub in units 1 & 3, appaliances, cabinets and granite counter tops. |
