Welcome to Hillside Haus: Your Cozy Trailside Retreat!

Main Floor Bliss: Delight in two cozy bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and an open layout encompassing the kitchen, dining, and a sunlit living room.
Upper Oasis: Find sanctuary in an additional bunk room, private bathroom, and a dedicated family lounge. It's the perfect spot for the kids to have their own space. With a sofa that doubles as a sleeper, a TV, and games, it's the perfect nook for leisure. Plus, step out onto the deck and soak in the wooded views and ski hill just beyond!

Our office is right here in the Powderhorn area with on-site maintenance, housekeeping, and reservation staff ready to help. You’ll always have support nearby, and if you’d rather not stop in, we’re also available 24/7 by call, message, or email. Whatever works best for you, we’re here to make your stay as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, the Powderhorn area is a true four-season destination.
The neighborhood also offers great local spots to enjoy—grab a hearty meal at Iron Nugget, sip a coffee at Copper Cup, try out a beer at old Iron Brewery or try a local favorite at Pit Stop, Uptown Café, or Club 28. You’ll also find shopping, live music, and seasonal festivals nearby that bring the community to life.

In winter, you’re just steps from Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort and a few miles from Snow River for skiing and snowboarding, along with direct access to hundreds of miles of scenic snowmobile trails. When the snow melts, the adventure continues with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, fishing, and exploring the beauty of the Northwoods.

Awesome Ski in/Ski out Chalet!

This is a great little vacation home located right on the slope. Our family enjoyed all of the snow and the ability to ski in ski out was fantastic! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax after a long day of skiing and the hot tub was a nice plus!

Great Stay

We had a great stay in this property. The cabin is well laid out. It had plenty of room for our family of 6. It was clean and well kept. There are many waterfalls and other hikes in the area. We would come here again.

Relaxing, inviting, and a great place for a family getaway.

Relaxing, inviting, and a great place for a family getaway. We had our extended family with us: grandma, aunts, uncle, cousins, ages 4 to 71 and everyone had a great time relaxing with nature, seeing some waterfalls, fishing, and combing the shoreline. The property was well kept and plenty of space for all, even if someone needed to get away from the rest of us for some quiet time. They have the inside updated and had no concerns while there. Their kitchen was one of the best supplied I've seen; they even had a tea kettle and as a tea drinker, I've never seen one at a cabin or resort kitchenette till now! We didn't ski as it was fall, but we still used the ski cubbies. They worked great for everyone to have their own luggage cubbie for their stuff without it being all over the cabin, especially for the kids. I would highly recommend this property.

Comfortable cabin with a lot of flex space

My friends and I really enjoyed our time at the cabin. There was a lot of outdoor spaces and indoor flex space that made our time there very comfortable because, for example, we could eat dinner on the back upstairs porch, at the big downstairs dining room table, in the upstairs living room, or on the front porch on the ground level. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We were happy to stay there. Thank you.

Loved Hillside

We loved staying at hillside! Much bigger in person than in pictures. Kitchen was lovely. Really enjoyed the ski in and ski out. At first we couldn’t find a shovel to clear out the excess snow but I called management and they immediately sent one over. We’ll be staying here many times in the future.

Hillside Haus November 2019

Location was great to connect with Wolverine Nordic ski trails. Access right from the back of house with no driving, so was ideal for ski in/ski out access. House was great. We were plowed out Sunday morning after a good 16" of snow fell. Thank you!

Nice place but weather was extremely hot. I do understand that most places in the U.P. typically don’t need air conditioning but it was hot.
