Spend the morning hiking to waterfalls, the afternoon on the ORV trails of the Northwoods, and the evening with your entire crew around a fire while the kids have disappeared into a three-room indoor play zone. Powderhorn Hideaway is a 4-bedroom UP Michigan retreat built for groups who want adventure over screens — a Jura pulling espresso, Northern Lights on clear nights, and more to do inside than outside.
This house runs on fun —
THE KITCHEN & LIVING: Exposed vertical log walls from the original 1800s homestead anchor a kitchen no new construction can replicate. Concrete countertops, blue cabinetry, stainless appliances, long prep counter — built for groups. A pellet stove, timber beams, and a carved wooden archway connect everything from old to new.
THE COFFEE BAR: Dedicated espresso/ beverage bar with a Jura machine stocked for the stay, wine fridge, and so much character. Morning coffee before the trailhead hits differently.
The kids get two entire levels to disappear into:
UPSTAIRS — a hidden passage leads to:
Planetarium — hand-painted star ceiling mural, working constellation projector
Game loft — Catan, Monopoly, Scrabble, and more
THE PLAY ZONE (basement):
Climbing wall, monkey bars, a slide, hammock netting, and the ultimate fort-building space — piled with play mattresses for the fort of a lifetime.
THE BEDROOMS (4 total, sleeps 16):
Primary suite — king bed, TV, blackout curtains, floor-length mirror
Second king suite — king bed, TV, blackout curtains, floor-length mirror
Double bedroom — two double beds, great light (sleeps 4)
Bedroom 4, the basement fort room — 8 twin beds right off the play zone (the kids will never want to leave)
THE BATHROOMS (2 full baths, both with showers): 1st floor bath with stone tile, walk-in shower, and burnt wood details. Spacious second bath with agate tile, round mirror, and gold sconces.
OUTSIDE: BBQ grill and a fire pit, with firewood included (it's stocked in the red shed). Coming soon: a pickleball court (the base is in, just waiting on blacktop, so you may notice the footprint in the yard) and a sauna shed.
Washer/dryer. Starlink WiFi. Smart TVs with streaming throughout. Pack 'n Play available. Pets welcome ($50/pet per stay).
