Your Iron River adventure begins at Mountain View Lodge, a modern vacation chalet in the heart of the Ski Brule Village. This six bedroom house can be rented fully or just the upper or lower duplex as there is a lock off connecting door between the floors. The entire house features up north cabin style decor and has two hot tubs and two saunas (one for each unit). Inside, guests find a nice mix of sleeping options across three floors including 5 standard bedrooms, 1 room that can be used as a 6th bedroom and a game room in the loft.
The lower level and 2nd floor each offer an open concept dining room, kitchen and living room providing a great layout for relaxing after a day of exploring. The serene atmosphere and thoughtful touches make this house a welcoming retreat.
Outside there are two Hot Tubs and two grills (one on lower level and one on a balcony). There is also a firepit in the spacious backyard.
Note: Garage is not included in the rental.
We think our place will help you experience everything Iron River has to offer.
