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.

Ski Getaway

The property was exactly what we were looking for and the check in process was a breeze. The house is very clean and comfortable as well as adequately stocked with everything you need. We were up north for a ski trip and the location was perfect for getting to Snowriver resort and shopping in Ironwood. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

Fantastic house for ski weekend!

Loved the house! Perfect space for everyone. Comfy beds, big screens in every room. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook a big meal or just grab a snack. Close to Snowriver and Rt 2 so accessibility is good. Very clean and well maintained. Will definitely look to return.
