Cozy creekside cabin near Big Powderhorn's Lift #1 & Recreational Trail #2!!

Find winter fun and relaxation at our Northwoods getaway! Located just North of US Hwy 2 between Ironwood and Bessemer in Big Snow Country of Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, Waldhein is the red chalet with sand and slate-colored trim at the corner of Creekside Trail and Powderhorn Road. Conveniently located on your way to the main lodge of Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort, our pull-thru driveway accesses both roads, so parking is ample for multiple vehicles. No need to turn trailers around, just pull right on through!

We’re minutes from Blackjack and Indianhead Mountain for boarding and downhill skiing variety.

For your Big Powderhorn Mountain experiences, you can WALK up Powderhorn Road to Lift #1 (about 1200 ft), drive, or you can take the shuttle during snow season to the Gun Barrel Lodge or any of the other bars/restaurants in the Mountain area.

You have ride in/ride out access (leave your trailers in our driveway) to SNOWMOBILE & ATV TRAIL # 2.

Cross-country skiers can pole across the road for local Nordic trails and are in close proximity to the 26 Km Wolverine Nordic Cross Country Ski & Mountain Bike Trails.

Waldhein is a two-level chalet with front decks on the main and upper levels. The lower front deck with charcoal grill on the main level (except during snow season).

It has three private bedrooms (1 Queen on the main level, 2 Full-size bedroom on the upper level) and a lofted space with 2 Twin-sized beds. There is a bathroom available on each level (shower/tub combo on the main level, shower on upper level). The main level has a living room space, dining table and card table nook, all with a view of the central wood-burning fireplace! The kitchen is fully-stocked with anything you might need during your stay, including coffee and an assortment of teas and honey. Linens and most bath necessities are provided.

Perfect winter getaway in the UP

Thanks for an amazing place to stay. The house is so cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place for our winter weekend. We skied at big Powederhorn and Snow River, so the location was perfect. We also snow shoed the Wolverine Nordic trails, which were just down the road. Thanks for being an excellent host and being dog friendly! We can't wait to come back!!!

Great Spot

The chalet was exactly as described. We found our accommodations perfect for us. We thought we could walk to Lift 1 at Powderhorn, but the road was pretty fast and we didn’t feel comfortable so we did end up driving each day for snowboarding. It was, however, very easy to drive and we still wenback to chalet each lunchtime to eat. We played a lot of games, enjoyed the fireplace, and watched a couple of movies as a family. The kitchen was well stocked and it was easy and nice to make our own meals there. We were in want and/or need of nothing. Thanks! We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect chalet

The house was just perfect. Very clean and welcoming as soon as we walked into the door. Plenty of firewood already in place for us to use. The house was warm and felt just like home. I couldn't ask for any better communication with the owners too. It was the perfect get away and if we decide to visit the area again we will try to rent this home once more. Everything was just perfect for our family get away.

Great stay, but those with allergies be cautious

This is a well maintained, cozy spot. Perfect for our long weekend. The manager was very friendly and left out some nice treats. Only downside was as a person with allergies and it being a pet friendly place I did have some allergy symptoms flare up. It was manageable for me, but could be a problem for others with more serious pet allergies.

Cozy Chalet - Great Location

We had a wonderful time at the Waldhein. Warm, cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Great location and parking for our family of skiers & snowmobilers. Lots of hooks to hang our gear after a day on the slopes/trails. We had plenty of firewood and loved the fireplace. The beds were comfortable with plenty of clean bedding. We always had hot water with great water pressure and lots of towels. Great communication, exactly as pictured, many nice touches that made our stay very comfortable. So nice that we could bring our dog, he loved it!

Fun Weekend Getaway

We had a great time! It was nice to be so close to Big Powderhorn. We still ended up driving to the lodge to buy lift tickets/rent gear, but had no issues with parking. Convenient location. The driveway was a bit icy but we had no issues with our vehicles. Make sure you have the key code saved on your phone ahead of time because you will not have cell service when you arrive!

Waldhein Family Time

Great time at your cabin. Really appreciated how you prepared it for us. Ample plus firewood and even fire starter logs. Can’t say enough about how easy and fun you made this experience. Very close to Powderhorn although we skied at Indianhead as Powderhorn not as open as Indianhead. Still only a 25 minute drive to Indianhead.
