Picture this: morning coffee on the deck, 10 private acres of UP forest out every window. Ride ORV Trail 2 straight from the property. The waterfalls are 20 minutes out. Lake Superior is close enough for a late afternoon run. Come back to a cedar sauna, a private hot tub, and a fire pit that goes as long as you want. This is Timber Haus — a handcrafted log cabin in Ironwood built for a vacation you won't forget.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, hand-hewn log walls, and warmth that makes you forget anything waiting back home. This is a house you actually want to be in — not just sleep in.
THE LIVING ROOM — The great room anchors everything: deep sofas, and a wide-open flow to the dining area and kitchen. It's the kind of space where no one retreats to their room because there's no reason to leave.
THE KITCHEN — Fully stocked for 14 guests. Butcher block island, custom cabinetry, Jura espresso machine, Keurig coffee bar, full-size refrigerator and freezer, electric stove, oven, dishwasher, blender, wine glasses, and every pot, pan, and utensil you could need. Coffee, tea, and sweeteners are stocked and waiting on arrival.
THE BEDROOMS — Sleeps 14. King (Bedroom 1) · Two full beds (Bedroom 2) · Full-over-full bunk + a full bed (Bedroom 3) · Full bed on the lower level. All beds are made with soft linens, extra pillows, and blankets. Walk-in closet and dresser storage available.
THE BATHROOMS — 3 full bathrooms (one with a tub, two with walk-in stall showers) plus a powder room, so a group of 14 never waits in line.
THE CEDAR SAUNA — A true Finnish-style dry heat cedar sauna. Best thing about it: it's waiting when you get back. Guests mention it in nearly every review.
THE HOT TUB — Private, steps from the back door, surrounded by open fields and wooded acres. After a full day on the trails, there's nowhere better to end up.
THE GAME ROOM — Foosball, air hockey, a spin bike, and a full second living space. Kids disappear here for hours. Adults usually follow.
THE OUTDOORS — Fire pit, outdoor furniture, charcoal BBQ grill, outdoor dining area, and 10 private acres of forest. Space to decompress after a long day out.
SMALL WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS — Three couples said "I do" in the backyard this summer, with the bluff and the woods as the backdrop. Small ceremonies are welcome with advance approval — message us before booking and we'll walk you through the details.
