Host was very friendly and the place had everything needed. Our family enjoyed the hot tub after skiing and the grandchildren loved the movies on the projector screen. Would stay there again!
Overall I would definitely recommend this property. It was clean, there was a really nice hot tub, plenty of beds and bathrooms. The host was very helpful and responsive! They had a great recommendation on some things to do in the area when our original plan fell through. And were very communicative throughout our stay. They also gave farm goods to sell!
Can I give it an 11 out of 10? Jocelyn and Aaron were awesome. Not only was it a great place to stay, but they were wonderful to my curious kid, letting him (and the rest of us) feed the chickens and pet the dogs and rabbits and have apples from the trees. They were insanely fast to respond to any questions sent through the app, and it was the perfect blend of being available but not being in our space (as they live in the other half of the duplex!). We got eggs from them (there are other yummy items available in the farm stand), and though we were mostly out and about visiting family, we appreciated the house's amenities (like Disney for the kiddo!). Us adults loved the hot tub and sauna, and we also had a fire the last night of our stay for s'mores. It's a beautifully situated house! Just know that if you're staying in the downstairs bedroom (the queen), there's not a bathroom down there, just a shower - and it's also where the sauna and hot tub are! It worked for us, and we couldn't be happier with the place. Definitely will stay here again if it lines up with our travel plans and their availability! Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed the coziness of this property plus all of the cute touches everywhere. Everything was very clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful. I’m so thankful they allow dogs - it makes vacationing so much easier! This was the perfect winter getaway!
We had a fantastic time staying at the Timbuktu Chalet. The location is great - very close to multiple ski areas, incredible hiking, and lake Superior destinations. The place itself was clean, no fuss, kitchen was fully stocked, and we made use of both the hot tub and sauna! Aaron was a fantastic host, and even gave us homemade jam as a Christmas surprise.
This was a great spot for a girls hiking trip. The hosts were very responsive and gave us some tips. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs and lettuce from the hosts for purchase. Everything was clearly labeled in the home and loved our stay!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful chalet. The farm, local experiences, and proximity to Copper Harbor and many stunning waterfalls made it even more special. The hosts were wonderful, and the apple jam they made was out of this world. Highly recommended!

It was great! Very clean and comfortable. Beds were good. Hot tub and sauna were great. Property was beautiful and very well kept. Kitchen was well stocked. Close to town. We loved it. Only downside is alot of stairs and showers are kind of small but adequate. Would definitely stay again. Host was very nice
The unit was well maintained, exceptionally clean, and easily accessible. All the necessary cooking items and toiletries were provided. The AC worked very well (had an unusual extreme heat wave). The bedroom set-up worked out very well for our family of my wife and me, along with our two adult kids. The hot tub looked great, but the weather was just too hot to jump in. TV and Alexa device provided some necessary entertainment when needed.Aaron was always on top of communication and provided tips on the local area; but also gave us our privacy. Their mini-garden was a nice feature. The fresh eggs were delicious.This appears to be one of the best maintained and updated properties in the Powderhorn "community". The quality of the houses seems to have really declined in the recent years with the reduced number of skiers and winter visitors. I definitely recommend this unit for a family of 4/5, or small group looking for accommodations in the area.
We rented the chalet for a ski trip with two families of four. We had an amazing time, enjoying some of the best skiing in the Midwest. The chalet is perfectly located on the slopes of Powderhorn Mountain, just a two-minute drive away. It’s very comfortable and well-appointed, with all the amenities listed in great condition. The hosts were excellent communicators, answering all my questions promptly and efficiently.The chalet is a bit small for the eight people listed, but it’s not a major issue. Overall, it’s a great location, a very clean place, and has an amazing mud room to store all our skiing gear and coats. The hosts were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely consider coming back and would highly recommend this chalet.
We really enjoyed staying at this adorable VRBO. The pictures do not do it justice. Everything you need for a quiet relaxing stay is at your fingertips. Hosts we wonderful and the outdoors/yard was picture perfect. The hot tub was the cherry on top!! We would definitely go back again.
Cute property tucked in the woods. We loved that there were 2 1/2 bathrooms and adequate sleeping spaces for our group. Wifi was awesome considering none of us had data reception. Very clean.
Property was neat to say the least. My son and husband got some gardening tips. Had some fresh farm eggs. The condo is decorated really nice. Hot tub was a must, even if the days were hot, felt good after a day of hiking.
If we ever come back to the area we will look into renting again.
Thank you

Such a wonderful place. Exceptionally clean, well designed, and great amenities including a sauna and hot tub. And it offers super convenient access to Nordic and alpine skiing. Owners are great with communication and had very thoughtful touches. I highly recommend.
Great home base for exploring the UP! Loved the Scandinavian decor and eco friendly/green living environment. Our hosts made it feel as though we were home. They gave great tips about what to see and do in the area. Hope to return during the winter season.
Could not recommend this rental highly enough. Aaron and Joce have an incredible, eco-conscious property. Not to mention, they are very accommodating hosts. From the local hard cider, to fresh farm eggs and recommendations on any and all attractions around the area. You would be hard pressed to find a better rental than Timbuktu.
We stayed at Timbuktu for just under a week in early January. It was fantastic. Location was outstanding for skiing, hiking, and grabbing food/groceries. With ski chalets closed, it was so convenient to be able to run back to the house for warming up and lunch. Lake Superior and a handful of great winter hikes to see some water falls are all within a 15min drive. So great. The house was excellent. Clean, organized, fully loaded with everything you'd need. Wi-Fi was good for my kids that were doing distance learning and for streaming movies at night. Our two dogs loved it too! Super easy access to/from and communication with the owners was outstanding. Quick and easy. It was our first time to this area and we'd love to come back in the summer to further explore the area.
