Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, the Powderhorn area is a true four-season destination.

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.

Incredible friends and family getaway!

This place is absolutely perfect in every way. We had 3 families with a total of 13 people. The hot tip, the sauna, the fireplace, the big deck, ski room and the best part… a true ski in and ski out. This is our families new annual mini winter vacation, and we can’t wait till next year already!

What a great time the house was cozy and clean. My family and I had a great time the owners responded quickly, and anything that we needed to make our family vacation more relaxing they made it happen. Besides the hot tub being a little dirty everything was awesome.

We had a group of women hikers for two nights with perfect fall weather. The bpla folks were very kind and helpful with all of our needs. The cabin was fantastic for a large group such as ours for cooking, sleeping, watching the northern lights out over the mountain, and hot-tubbing after a long day of hiking!! Thank you Charlene and all the folks at bpla!

Our family totally enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was very well stocked. Plenty of seating. Loved the large dining table for meals and games. Very cozy seating arrangements. Well stocked towels, paper products. We did run short on dishwasher soap. Suggest some type of humidifier but otherwise very comfortable accommodations. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at Skyward. Would definitely recommend the property to large families especially with pets. Thank you very much for allowing the family pets

Not the best.

No one reached out to me for my pin, all the phone numbers they give you to call, doesn’t work. I was left stranded with no wifi and not a single phone number that works. There’s no ac. So it was very hot. I most definitely wouldn’t go again.

Skyward Ski Trip

I am going to start with our negative comments, because the list is so short compared to the positive aspects. There is no pool table nor ping pong table in this unit, despite the property description and photos; this was annoyingly not mentioned. The grill was disgusting, caked with food and rust. The toilet seat on the second floor was loose. Upon checkout, we were told that the grill and toilet seat problems could have been addressed if we had called during our stay. The fireplace stopped working, which we did call about, and someone came out within an hour to check it, but it remained broken for the rest (most) of our stay. That was a huge disappointment. Despite these criticisms, we had a wonderful time at Skyward. This property is spacious, the perfect place to relax. There were only six of us, so we had an amazingly comfortable amount of space. There were two large sitting/living rooms, both with fireplaces, each able to accommodate 8 (or more!) people comfortably. The downstairs also had a bar with a second, full-sized refrigerator. The dining room could easily seat 10 (or more). There was a full bathroom on each floor. The six bedrooms could have easily slept 14 people. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil we could possibly have needed. The dishwasher worked great. There is a large hot tub and a sauna. There is a deck that wraps around the entire second floor. There is a separate, unattached deck platform which overlooks the ski hill, which was a very nice feature, and not expected. There is an outside fire pit with benches, also overlooking the ski run. The property was true ski-in/ski-out. My family had a wonderfully cozy and comfortable time at Skyward; it was like a happy nest when we were tired after skiing. Be aware that this is not a brand-new property; there are ways in which the decor or amenities seem dated. But we loved Skyward, would highly recommend it, and would happily stay here again.

No AC. Rooms on upper level were too hot.

The unit was clean and has lots of room for a big group. The biggest down side is that there was no AC. The upstairs rooms were super hot and couldn't sleep at night. Can't use hot tub in the summer time. The pictures show a pool table but there was none in the house. The propane gas for the grill ran out while we just starting to grill. Other than these it was a great stay.

Perfect location for exploring and proximity to town.

The home was well setup for our multigenerational family vacation. Bedrooms and bath on all floors made it very convenient for everyone. The description had a pool table listed which was not there but we found other activities to do. The hot tub was big success after long days of hiking and swimming. Good location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great experience. Plenty of room and rooms for our large group. Loved the morning walks on the ski hill. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and cookware. The nights were cool while we were there but hard to take advantage since many windows were missing screens. We bought 3 or 4 fans which helped with air circulation in the house. Enjoyed the hot tub, although I was a bit suspicion of maintenance. Deck needs major upkeep. Little scary, especially since hot tub was about 4” lower on one side. Overall we really enjoy the place

Great Ski-in/Ski-out Rental for Large Group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We scheduled a COVID ski vacation with a two other families and the ski-in/ski-out was crucial. The property easily accommodated 6 adults and 7 kids. It turned out we were there the last weekend Powderhorn was open so conditions on Alpen were pretty sad but that isn't the property's fault.The only negatives were that the property needs a lot more towels - both bath towels and towels for the hot tub. There just aren't enough for a property this size. The pool table and dart board were both also a bust. The pool table is unstable (seems like it is missing some screws) and the cues have broken tips - makes it unusable. The dart board only has 3 darts and has seen better days.Otherwise the property was very clean and worked great for our group.
