Extremely convenient to Big Powderhorn

If you can't be directly on the mountain, this is the next best thing. There was plenty of sleeping options and more than adequate for my family of 4.

Comfort and convenience

We had a nice stay at the Campfire Lodge. It had everything we needed for our stay. We felt comfortable and cozy all weekend and enjoyed the hot tub while watching the snow fall. Very close to the slopes and no issues arose with the property.

Great Stay at Big Powderhorn

Very happy with our stay. The unit is well cared for and maintained. The living room, dinning room, and kitchen are very spacious. Having access to two full-size bathrooms with washer and dryer was a huge plus. Easy access to skiing at Big Powderhorn. We look forward to many return trips.

Comfortable A-Frame near Big Powderhorn

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at this A-Frame cabin located less than a mile from Big Powderhorn. Check in was simple. Everything worked. Some of the kitchen items (pots, skillets, utensils, silverware, glassware) could be improved but overall a great stay!

Wonderful winter getaway

Our group of 4 adults and 4 kids had a wonderful stay. We went to snowmobile during spring break and were able to ride directly from the lodge. The sauna was great after a long, cold day of riding. I asked questions prior and was answered promptly. The description was spot on. We were very pleased with our stay! Thank you!

Skiing in sweatshirts!

Came up to the UP for a weekend ski trip and this year despite the lack of snow had a good day of skiing at Snow River in sweatshirts! The campfire Lodge was perfect for our family of 6. The bedrooms are close together upstairs, which is fine for a family and great to have two bathrooms. The kitchen is very nice and the dining area was great for playing cards. Loved having a large sectional so we could all laugh about our day. We will definitely come back. Location is perfect at Powderhorn Village. Communication with Shawn was amazing. He responded twice to two of my questions, and very easy to deal with. five stars for him.

UPERS

We had a very nice time staying in the A Frame on Powderhorn Mountain. A couple of things to mention though, the hot tub had sand in the bottom, there was a broken oscillating fan in the upstairs bedroom, the outside garbage can was completely full upon arrival so we had no where to put our garbage. I know you asked us to place our garbage outside in the can, but it was completely full. Otherwise, had a lovely time. Close to town, Black River Harbor, Little Girls Point. Thanks

Thank you for your stay. The hot tub is filled with well water so the sand is from that. Nothing of concern. Just how it is in the north woods. I looked and couldn’t find a broken fan so you might need to share a little more about what was broken. Everything checked out ok on my end. Sorry to hear about the garbage. Our garbage day is once a week so sometimes if we get multiple guests in the property during a week it gets a little full, but we do our best to keep it down. Thank you again.

Not what we expected

This is a very small rental and definitely not 3 bedrooms. The beds were ok, however the (extra) blankets were full of dust. The windows would not open. There was no activity field. There was no wood for a fire or fire starting utensils. The dishes were not clean. This was not a 5 star rental; which is what they asked people to give in the check out instructions. The only thing that saved this rental was the comfortable couch and chair in the living room, the hot tub, and sauna. If cleanliness or quality is what your looking for I would stay away from this rental.

Before I respond directly to her review, please be aware that this guest attempted to cancel their reservation within the non-refundable timeframe and when I stated I was unable to offer a refund, she requested to change the dates of their stay which I was fine with. Please view this guest’s review through that lens. Regarding the condition of the property, I’m disappointed to hear of your concerns as you mentioned none of this during your stay with us. I just checked the windows and they do in fact open (those that are operational to open). It’s an older cabin so it may take a little push, but they do open. I did not see any blankets with dust on them but note all linens are washed after use. I am not sure what you were referring to regarding the activity area, there’s a picture in the profile, it’s right down the little walk way. It’s no football field but it’s perfect for yard games, etc. Regarding the dishes, We are on Well-water up here in the north country so sometimes the dishes get a little chalky, but they are clean. If that’s what you’re referring to. You weren’t specific. I will look into stocking wood for guests. Most guests find wood in the forest right next to the fire ring but I have considered this in the past. There are matches in the cabin. Sorry again you only had a 3 star stay with us as most don’t seem to have the issues you did. Best of luck and thanks again.

Perfect Getaway

Our trip idea was to be somewhere quiet, peaceful and comfortable as we're a bit too old for tents. Shawn's place was perfect. Beds comfortable. Plenty of amenities. Also only a short jaunt off of the main roads. We visited from Maple Grove, MN on a motorcycle trip (880 miles). Beautiful area. We branched out a different direction every day. Plenty to see and visit then came back to the vrbo for a nice hot tub soak in the evening. Thank you Shawn for the wonderful 5 day stay! I will be recommending to friends and family.
