We had a wonderful stay at Trailside #3! Two families shared the house and everything was perfect - the beds were comfortable, tvs in every room kept the kids happy when the adults wanted to watch football, and it was close proximity to the ski hills. After spending the day skiing, coming back to the hot tub and the ability to cook our own food was a real treat. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Dean!

Amazing property, in great condition and very well appointed! Kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, and we were very impressed that the host thought to provide a baby gate for the steps and door knob covers for the basement door. Beds were very comfortable, with nice bedding. The hot tub was a nice treat after a day of hiking. Host went above and beyond after our stay when we realized a beloved stuffy had been accidentally left behind. Communicated promptly and made sure it was mailed back to us right away.

Ski & snowmobile weekend

Spent a long weekend with family. Property is very clean with plenty of amenities. Only downside is the shower is difficult to use if you are taller than 5’4”. Would stay again if coming back to this area.

Great place

Perfect place for 5 guys in their 40's to ski the nearby hills during the day and relax in the hot tub at night. Everything very clean and the hot tub was big. Will stay again as the kids get older and I bring the family to the U.P.

Great stay for a ski trip!

4 of us planned a snowmobile trip but due to conditions we were not able to use the trails. We switched last min to a Ski trip and the location could not have been better! We did a day at Snow River and a day at Powederhorn. Both were only 10 min away from the house! The hot tub was the best after a long day!!

Cozy and close to ski hills

We enjoyed our stay here and found all the amenities and items we needed were at the cabin. Hot tub was well maintained and got used a lot. We had a great time enjoying the lake effect snow at the nearby ski hills.

We stayed at this cozy little house to do some four wheeling in the beautiful forest area up North. The hot tub was a welcome delight at the end of the day for our tired muscles. We would definitely stay here again.

Wakefield House

The property was beautiful! Big beautiful trees in the backyard and the yard was so pretty vibrant green yet. The house itself was beautifully decorated and felt a little like home! It reminded me of my grandparents house in Ironwood. Loved Our Stay! Neighbors were very friendly, it turned out they knew some of my family from Ironwood Michigan. Thank you again for making us feel welcome and for letting us stay on your beautiful property.
