About this property

Modern Chalet -AC, hot tub, sauna + pets welcome

A recently updated chalet in the village at Big Powderhorn Mountain. Timbuktu is located at the end of a private cul-de-sac and within a short 10-minute walk to Big Powderhorn Lodge and ski lifts. Uniquely, Timbuktu is powered by an on-site solar system which is supplemented by other renewables. Timbuktu is a duplex with us, the owners, living next door. We are happy to assist with questions and advice about the local attractions. Pets are welcome for a fee of $20/pet/night. Come explore the Northwoods!

Amazing Stay!
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.

Great Girls Trip Stay!
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!

Perfect cozy winter getaway
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!

Visiting the area..sight seeing the Falls.
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 Shari D.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Shultz

Host profile image
We are an English American couple and although we are from different sides of the pond and disagree and how some words should be pronounced we do share we share a passion for research and conservation. We are both scientists who work on assessing and mitigating the impacts of humans on fish both in fresh and saltwater systems.

Our work and passion has taken us all over the world. We moved from The Bahamas to start a new life in the Northwoods with our fur baby, Schooner in 2016! Since settling in the UP our pack has grown, we have rescued another dog, and added a cat and chickens!! We love nothing more than to be out on the water or in the woods with our dogs. Note we are both fully vaccinated!

Why they chose this property

We updated our 1970's chalet ourselves and are excited to have guests stay at the new Timbuktu. We provide a very clean and friendly Chalet experience and want to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. We respect your privacy but are here for you if you need us!

What makes this property unique

Timbuktu Chalet is perfectly located to visit many of the Upper Peninsula attractions including Black River falls, Copper Peak, Lake Superior, Porcupine National Park, Indianhead Mountain, Blackjack Mountain, Wolverine cross-country trail, ABR trails, Ironbell trail, snowmobile/ATV trails, and much much more. In addition Black River Pub is within walking distance and downtown Ironwood is a short 15 minute drive for access to the local brewery (Cold Iron) coffee shop, bakery, supermarket, restaurants and shops.
