What guests think
Reviews of SKI LODGE CONDO NEAR BIG POWDERHORN MTN, BLACK RIVER HARBOR, COPPER PEAK describe clean, cozy units in a dated building, with excellent ski-area access, simple self-catering setups, and generally quiet stays at good value.
Many note the exterior and common areas feel worn or closed, while the condos themselves are well-appointed and accurately described. Recurring drawbacks include very warm lofts with limited heat control and occasional discomfort from the mattress or sofa sleeper. Location near Big Powderhorn and area attractions is praised, and communication/check-in is usually easy with a few isolated issues. Expect a practical, budget-friendly base for skiing and exploring rather than full-service resort amenities.

If you stay in this unit you will not be disappointed. Do not let the outside or “lobby” area be your judgment. Our condo was very nice and very clean. I can’t say what any of the rest are as they are owned by different owners. It is quiet and we even had a little fire in the little fire pit provided. It is a bit off the main highway but we were fine with that.

Difficulty finding:No property name given to us, no address out front, only a HORRIBLY run down outside structure and premise that didn’t look like picture in advertisement. Entry: Dirty, far from welcoming, locked gates across what should have been commons areas. No security to building, multiple areas for intruders to lurk. Room: Opening door to unit was like entering a sauna. No way to control heat (noted as problem in comments written in book in unit in 2021). Ran air conditioner 24/7 and had windows open,just to be able to breath. Couldn’t sleep in loft bed, due to heat, so forced to sleep on poor quality hide-a-bed. Sat on dining room chair and glue joints separated almost causing a fall. Lighting: Poor lighting preventing any reading by couch or playing any games. We would not recommend this place to anyone. Booking through Expedia, we thought we would get a place with some quality. This place should be reviewed if you plan on keeping on your listing.

We had a pleasant stay. It's location made it is easy to go into town or over to the beach! The accommodations were clean and tidy! My only complaint would be all the stairs (I have bad knees) and didn't see an elevator. And also the fact that we couldn't bring the dog. Unless each apartment/room is privately owned, there were 3 dogs there and a a cat sitting in a window. We do thank you above all else for a pleasant stay! Teresa K.

Like other reviews mention, don't be put off by the building exterior or common areas of the property. The unit was perfect. The loft did get very warm but opening the windows at night helped greatly. This was a very affordable and comfortable rental in a really great location. We would definitely stay again!

I was quite satisfied with this property for a short Ironwood area ski trip. As others have mentioned, there is some initial awkwardness with the entry and hallways but the actual unit is well-appointed, the pictures and description were accurate. Greatly enjoyed having a small kitchen and a separate sleeping area compared to a standard hotel layout when considering lodging options in the area for a similar size and price range. Property is easy to find on a well-maintained road - which I came to appreciate given the frequency of snow and sometimes poor cell reception in the area.

Love the old Bavarian-style building. Can see that it's past its prime, but well maintained. Clean and affordable, and close to three ski areas.

The unit was just as listed and worked out well for us on our ski trip. The unit is in what use to be a resort & conference center that is no longer operating. All the common spaces could use some TLC. The unit itself had everything we needed and the pull out couch was even comfortable. We did struggle with the lock box and the loft was quite warm. We couldn’t figure out how to control the heat so we ended up using both fans to make it more comfortable. Towels need to be replaced they were quite old. All in all we would book again if we ski next season.

This cozy, budget-friendly condo in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is an excellent choice for skiers and winter enthusiasts looking for a simple, no-frills place to stay. My partner and I spent 10 days here during our winter ski trip, and it was perfect for our needs. The condo itself is small but charming, clean, and well-maintained, offering enough space for two people. While it doesn’t come with any luxuries or fancy amenities, it had all the essentials we needed, including a functional kitchenette that allowed us to prepare meals and save money on dining out. The overall vibe was warm and practical, making it a comfortable home base after long days on the slopes.The standout feature of this condo is its unbeatable location. It’s just a short drive from Big Powderhorn Mountain, making it incredibly convenient for skiing and snowboarding. The surrounding area is stunning in the winter, with picturesque snow-covered landscapes that added to the charm of our stay. The building itself is a bit dated and shows signs of wear, but our unit was in good condition and felt cozy. For the price, the value was outstanding—it’s hard to find affordable accommodations so close to a major ski area. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, budget-friendly place to stay that prioritizes location and practicality over luxury, this condo is a fantastic option. We’d happily return for future ski trips!

Fantastic location. Really nice unit!!! Very WARM! Had the window open the whole time we were there…. In the winter Once you get past the closed down conference center commons areas…. The unit is very very nice!We cook so the fully stocked kitchen was a plus. Couple use some new pots and pans. Concerns : After a long day of skiing … comfort is key when you come back to rest and relax. The sofa sleeper was soooo uncomfortable to sit on. It seriously hurt my bottom! Please consider an update. Same with the mattress. A bed in a box on Amazon is under 300 and would be so much more comfortable than what is there That’s all. We really, overall, enjoyed our stay!!!! And with lift ticket prices as high as they have become … the unit was a fantastic bargain! Al and Eric - Shawano, WI

The unit was just as listed and worked out well for us on our ski trip. The unit is in what use to be a resort & conference center that is no longer operating. All the common spaces could use some TLC. The unit itself had everything we needed and the pull out couch was even comfortable. We did struggle with the lock box and the loft was quite warm. We couldn’t figure out how to control the heat so we ended up using both fans to make it more comfortable. Towels need to be replaced they were quite old. All in all we would book again if we ski next season.

Convenient to Big Powderhorn and area sights, with easy drives to Ironwood/Bessemer, Lake Superior, and waterfalls; some units are across from the hill. Slightly off the main highway but easy to find even in winter.

The property was exactly as described and was a great deal. The location was perfect for skiing at Big Powderhorn and Snowriver resorts. We loved that the condo it was dog-friendly, had a fun local vibe, and had cozy decor. We had a great time watching movies and playing games in the evenings. We also used the kitchen quite bit and were able to make several meals without needing to go out. Would stay here again!

This is the second time we have stayed at this condo and enjoyed it. Perfect location to hit up the slopes, and easy enough to head in to town to shop/ eat. Had a great two night stay. Thanks!

The property was clean and orderly with all amenities listed available. It is directly across from Big Powderhorn Mountain and it was a short easy walk to the hills!

Like other reviews mention, don't be put off by the building exterior or common areas of the property. The unit was perfect. The loft did get very warm but opening the windows at night helped greatly. This was a very affordable and comfortable rental in a really great location. We would definitely stay again!

I was quite satisfied with this property for a short Ironwood area ski trip. As others have mentioned, there is some initial awkwardness with the entry and hallways but the actual unit is well-appointed, the pictures and description were accurate. Greatly enjoyed having a small kitchen and a separate sleeping area compared to a standard hotel layout when considering lodging options in the area for a similar size and price range. Property is easy to find on a well-maintained road - which I came to appreciate given the frequency of snow and sometimes poor cell reception in the area.

Love the old Bavarian-style building. Can see that it's past its prime, but well maintained. Clean and affordable, and close to three ski areas.

Lovely off-season classic ski lodge style condo with nearby access to two sizable cities and some very nice waterfalls nearby with the black river and the porcupine mountains not too far off either.

Fantastic location. Really nice unit!!! Very WARM! Had the window open the whole time we were there…. In the winter Once you get past the closed down conference center commons areas…. The unit is very very nice!We cook so the fully stocked kitchen was a plus. Couple use some new pots and pans. Concerns : After a long day of skiing … comfort is key when you come back to rest and relax. The sofa sleeper was soooo uncomfortable to sit on. It seriously hurt my bottom! Please consider an update. Same with the mattress. A bed in a box on Amazon is under 300 and would be so much more comfortable than what is there That’s all. We really, overall, enjoyed our stay!!!! And with lift ticket prices as high as they have become … the unit was a fantastic bargain! Al and Eric - Shawano, WI

The property was exactly as described and was a great deal. The location was perfect for skiing at Big Powderhorn and Snowriver resorts. We loved that the condo it was dog-friendly, had a fun local vibe, and had cozy decor. We had a great time watching movies and playing games in the evenings. We also used the kitchen quite bit and were able to make several meals without needing to go out. Would stay here again!

This cozy, budget-friendly condo in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is an excellent choice for skiers and winter enthusiasts looking for a simple, no-frills place to stay. My partner and I spent 10 days here during our winter ski trip, and it was perfect for our needs. The condo itself is small but charming, clean, and well-maintained, offering enough space for two people. While it doesn’t come with any luxuries or fancy amenities, it had all the essentials we needed, including a functional kitchenette that allowed us to prepare meals and save money on dining out. The overall vibe was warm and practical, making it a comfortable home base after long days on the slopes.The standout feature of this condo is its unbeatable location. It’s just a short drive from Big Powderhorn Mountain, making it incredibly convenient for skiing and snowboarding. The surrounding area is stunning in the winter, with picturesque snow-covered landscapes that added to the charm of our stay. The building itself is a bit dated and shows signs of wear, but our unit was in good condition and felt cozy. For the price, the value was outstanding—it’s hard to find affordable accommodations so close to a major ski area. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, budget-friendly place to stay that prioritizes location and practicality over luxury, this condo is a fantastic option. We’d happily return for future ski trips!

This property served its purpose for us perfectly. We came to ski at Big Powderhorn. We could use the kitchen to cook for ourselves. We could come back to this property to warm ourselves midday. It is well stocked with books,movies, TV and DVD player. The kitchen had everything we needed. An excellent value for our cost.

Found this little condo very close to an event I was attending this summer. I just needed a place to shower and sleep this covered both. Cosy but enough room if you had small group. I’m sure it’s a different feel in the winter packed full of skiers, summers kinda empty only say one other person while I was here. With the small kitchen I would definitely bring your food not to much around. Over all a good experience

Issue with power and water being out several hours the morning of 3/7. Realized it was out about 7:30 and restored early afternoon. This apparently was a widespread outage so not the hosts fault but nonetheless was a challenge and put a damper on our experience. No ill will for VRBO!

This well maintained unit had everything we needed. The decor was very nice. Heat for the whole building ran through and was not controllable. The upstairs sleeping loft got quite warm. Temperature control was to open the window. Which worked ok. Parking lot was poorly plowed with heavy ruts.
