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

Find winter fun and relaxation at our Northwoods getaway!

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.

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.

Great ski cabin
We were up for a long ski weekend, cozy cabin with a great fireplace. Very close to both Jackson Creek, blackjack and powderhorn. Skied them all, as well as visited the ski flying jump.

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!

Nice clean place. Could use some better signage at the road. Took a long time to find because there was no address at the road. The house number was difficult to see on the house and a different number was listed at the road. Said 201 rather than 11122

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.

Great Location for Exploring with ORV
This was our first time visiting Michigan and riding on the ORV trails. The hosts were very informative and quick to respond with information about the Chalet as well as places nearby that would help us truly experience this area. We were able to check many of the suggestions off our list of things to do but there were a few that we simply ran out of time to explore during the week. The Chalet is in a great location for getting on the ORV trails without the need to trailer them and the pass-through driveway is very handy for parking the trailer. Plenty of towels were provided and the kitchen was stocked with necessities and a bowl filled with a variety of snacks that came in handy throughout the week. Bathrooms with showers on each level were a wonderful aspect that not many places to stay seem to have. Checking in and out was very simple and much appreciated.

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!!!

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!

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.

Waldhein Chalet = Winter Fun Base Camp
Waldhein Chalet was a five star experience! We used this property as our skiing base camp over New Years. The owners provide a comfy, cozy, dog friendly chalet in the Big Powderhorn Mountain alpine village. We liked the sleeping capacity in an affordable package with plenty of spare towels and blankets to go around. The pantry, kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The property is maintained and clean. To be sure…this is a ski chalet. Be prepared for rustic furnishings, quilted bedspreads, and ski bum decor. This was part of the charm for us, but some folks may not get the character if they don’t know what they are getting into. For us it was a memorable stay that we will consider in the future if we head back to Gogebic County, MI.

Fantastic stay in Northwoods!
The chalet was perfect for 6 days of outdoor fun with our family of seven. The cross country ski trails and hiking around the chalet are unmatched - and we've enjoyed downhill skiing in the area for several years. The fireplace was wonderful, and beds were great. We brought an instant pot and cooked all of our meals. Truly a first rate place!
