Your Iron River adventure begins at Mountain View Lodge, a modern vacation chalet in the heart of the Ski Brule Village. The lower half rental is a 3-bedroom half of a house and features up north cabin style decor. Inside, guests find a nice mix of sleeping options including 2 standard bedrooms with each featuring a twin bed over a full size bed. The 3rd room can be used as another bedroom with a futon bed or as a rec room / gaming room.
The open concept living room features two sofas, 55" TV and fireplace, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The serene atmosphere and thoughtful touches make this house a welcoming retreat.
