A Summer Treehouse

Our family had a lovely 4-day stay at Top Notch for an extended family reunion and 4th of July celebration in Bessemer. We all loved the property, the house layout, the surrounding balcony, the privacy, and the trees! It was updated, everything was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with anything we may have forgotten from home. We would definitely stay there again!

Family gathering

Came for March skiing and to celebrate several family birthdays. Unfortunately the snow did not cooperate this year. No skiing, major bummer, BUT, the property “Top Notch” lived up to its name. Super clean totally comfortable for our whole family (3 adult kids) very spacious, plenty of room to spread out and still sit around the fire and watch a movie or play a game,hot tub was awesome views were awesome. Top Notch!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Weather was really cold so took a while to warm the place up. Others noted that it was maybe a bit dated and the stair rails not to code so I could agree but for the 4 couples we had staying we found the place just fine and dandy. Would rent again.

Great Winter Getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Top Notch! Our family can't wait to come back. The location was perfect, the home is beautiful with everything you would need in the kitchen including spices, oil, paper goods, etc. The fireplaces are cozy and the hot tub was the perfect way to finish off the day after skiing and hiking. Easy to book, clear instructions to check in and out and very clean and ready for us when we arrived. Would definitely recommend. Many things to do other than skiing down the slopes only a few yards away, like cross country skiing, hiking, waterfalls, etc.

Needs some attention.

Cob webs everywhere. Two wood burning fireplaces with lighters and matches, but no wood. Ski access requires short hike or sidestep in both directions. Access to lifts 8 & 9. Check Powderhorn web site before skiing down. Some days both lifts are closed. Well stocked with household items and spices. Ample parking for several vehicles. New hot tub in 2023, according to sign. Easy check in snd out.

Had a lovely getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband,two kids (10 and 7) and I had a great time . The kitchen had everything we needed, although we brought everything with us in case it didn’t (and now it has a griddle, too! We left ours there by accident!) it was extremely cold during our stay, but we figured out how to coax more heat from the fireplace, so we were warm. The very large indoor hot tub was a huge hit. The water had a very strong odor, but none of us got sick and the hot water was lovely. The path to the ski hill was longer than we thought it would be and once you get to the slope, there is no flat spot or place to sit or even stand to get your skis on in order to ski down. So we just drove a couple of minutes to the resort in order to ski.) We watched movies that we had brought, ate dinners we had pre made (COVID.) The lady at the lodging area was nice enough and we were able to get our questions answered. Being away from other cabins made for a safe (COVID) and pleasant stay.

Not for Families with Young Children

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While this rental has many excellent features, we experienced a few issues that other potential renters should know about. First, this property is not suitable for families with young children. This is because the staircases are built in a manner (probably not code-compliant) that could result in small children being seriously injured. There are no "risers" on many of the stairs, and the balusters on the railings of the staircases and upper balcony are spaced very widely apart. This results in a situation whereby youngsters could easily suffer a very dangerous fall. Also, this property is really not "ski-in/ski-out", since the nearby lifts do not operate much of the ski season. You will need to drive to the central parking lots near the main lodge. Finally, the indoor hot tub trips a circuit breaker, and then cools down quickly. We could only use the tub on the first day of our 4-day trip, because we did not realize right away that the circuit breaker had tripped, and this hot tub takes forever to heat back up to a usable temperature.

top Notch is a great property

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi,Overall, we enjoyed our stay at top notch. The only draw back was the banister for the stairs. There are large spaces that even an adult could fit through. We had a four year, so had to watch him carefully.We really enjoyed sleding in the back. Rented snowmobiles which was kind of a far drive, but everyone had a good time. The firewood was stocked which was great as we used it continuously. We had some problems getting the house warm enough so it was great to have the fireplace. HOt tub was nice to have, but had a super strong chlorine smell. The trash bin outside was full so we were unable to take the trash outside.These are minor things. Overall, the place was clean and perfect for our party. I have stayed in other places and it took me a while to realize that all the places in the upper peninsuala have older and somewhat worn furniture and furnishings. It's part of the ambience. Enjoy top Notch. We did!

Stocked well to meet all our needs. Spiders in basement tub and sink. Spider in upstairs sink- don’t care for Garage location- detracts. And when we arrived lots of inside mosquitoes— not sure how they got in!!

Summer Vacationers - No Air Conditioning

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in and check out were easy and the house was in a good location for lots of outdoor summer activities. The layout of the house was great for groups or families, but the house is a bit dated/run down. Our biggest issue was the heat. The house has no air conditioning. Fans were provided, but no amount of fans or open windows could cool down the house. The last night, our whole family ended up sleeping in the basement (some on couches) just so we could get a good night's sleep.

Cabin Retreat on Ski Run

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had a nice getaway up in Bessemer, MI during Covid pandemic. It was warm and when we arrived the baseboard heating units were on in rental which was frustrating. After trying to cool the unit down we checked out our surroundings which were lovely - could walk to ski run with our dog. He loved the open space and we loved the views. Saw may birds and a few deer. The rental itself provided tons of space for our family of 4. Comfortable bedding, plenty of linens, fully stocked kitchen. The foosball table was the highlight for the kids and the deck overlooking the woods the highlight for the adults.The rental was close enough to Ironwood to enjoy the offerings of a town but also close enough to Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains to get in some nature adventures. Tons of waterfall hikes led to 20 miles of hiking in 4 days. Overall a nice getaway. Would be great spot in the winter if the lift at the bottom of the slope was operating!

Ski weekend at Top Notch

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great late winter ski vacation to Powderhorn staying at Top Notch. The conditions were perfect - lots of snow and temperatures that were not too cold or too warm. A great way to say goodbye to winter with the warm weather and rain coming this week. Since I also enjoy cross country skiing, I appreciate the easy access to the Wolverine ski trail at the top of the hill not far from this location. It's important to note that this rental is not exactly a ski in and ski out. It does involve a 50 yard walk from the rental to the slope. Not a big deal but didn't want anyone to think you can ski right up to the door.

Snowmobile trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice, tv in every bedroom, right next to the ski hills which was more than we needed and was quite a ride to trails down the roads. If you were skiing it would be great, kind of pricey, next time we will stay at an air B and B closer to trails and less money! It is one of the nicer units at Powderhorn though.

Awesome Vacation Home!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been coming to BIg Powderhorn for 20+ years and have satiated in many different houses on the hill and in the village. Top notch was one of our favorites, it was clean, great location, and very user friendly for 2 small families. Only disappointment was the Ski lift on our hill was NOT open. The cost to rent was reasonable for a ski in/out but with the list closed made this a bit unfortunate and not able to truly enjoy. Being that it was a close drive we made the best of it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice home with everything you could possibly need included. The home was fairly clean. If you rented this home to ski in and out you should make sure that there is enough snow. We were there Jan. 13 thru the 17th. and there was not enough snow so the lift was not opened and we had to drive for skiing, eating or just a warm up.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was fabulous! The photos don't do the place justice. We have rented 3 other trailside properties of similar size and Top Notch was easily the best. It was very clean, and the kitchen was stocked way above average (multiple spices and excellent assortment of large pots//pans) , and there was plenty of high quality firewood. The location was perfect.
