About this property
Black River Road Retreat- located near Lake Superior and Copper Peak
This is a private home on 40 acres surrounded by woods and wetlands. This is a very secluded place with lots of peace and quiet to be had (the closest neighbor is 1/4 mile away). This is a perfect base for exploring the Northwoods and all of the things to see nearby. There is a big yard with ample parking and space for trailers and campers.
The space:
The house is modestly furnished and all essentials are there. Cookware, dishes, linens, towels, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker, T.V., and stereo (Bluetooth enabled), are all provided. There is a queen size bed in the master bedroom with a private bathroom. Two single beds in another bedroom and a bunkbed set in the third bedroom.
There is free WiFi!
Interaction with guests:
We live nearby and can be reached for any issues or advise on what to do in the area. Generally guests check in and out, without us being there at all. :)
Other things to note:
There is not a better location for access to the area! We are 5 minutes from Copper Peak ski jump (which you can ride to the top of). There is great Mtn. biking at Copper Peak as well as the Wolverine ski and bike trail about 10 minutes away. We are 10min from Lake Superior and the beautiful waterfalls of Black River Harbor, as well as numerous other waterfalls that are to many to mention.
There is great fishing and boat launch to access Lake Superior at the harbor. The house is right across the street from the Black River with great fishing, paddling, or sometimes just a leisurely float on a hot day.
The house is near the snowmobile/4wheeler access trail, that is connected to the rest of the UP and Northern Wisconsin.
It's 5 min from Big Powderhorn Mtn. ski area, and 15min to Indianhead/Blackjack ski areas. Whitecap Ski area is about 1/2 hour away and the Porcupine Mountains state park and ski area is about an hour away.
Downtown Ironwood/Hurley is about a 15Min drive.

Why they chose this property
There is not a better location for access to the area! We are 5 minutes from Copper Peak ski jump (which you can ride to the top of). There is great Mtn. biking at Copper Peak as well as the Wolverine ski and bike trail about 10 minutes away. We are 10min from Lake Superior and the beautiful waterfalls of Black River Harbor, as well as numerous other waterfalls that are to many to mention.
There is great fishing and boat launch to access Lake Superior at the harbor. The house is right across the street from the Black River with great fishing, paddling, or sometimes just a leisurely float on a hot day.
The house is ON the snowmobile/4wheeler trail, that is connected to the rest of the UP and Northern Wisconsin.
It's 5 min from Big Powderhorn Mtn. ski area, and 15min to Indianhead/Blackjack ski areas. Whitecap Ski area is about 1/2 hour away and the Porcupine Mountains state park and ski area is about an hour away.
Downtown Ironwood/Hurley is about a 15Min drive.

What makes this property unique
Our property will take you to the peace and quiet that you’ve been looking for. The closest neighbor is to the south, an half mile away. Enjoy the canopy of stars, while having a campfire. Plenty of outdoor space for all, including a play set, and plenty of room for your trailered toys.
