Summer in the Upper Peninsula: SUMMER: Although Celtic Haus was originally built for winter sports, many have found it to be a delightful summer retreat also. Summer is beautiful in the UP! There are so many things to do and see in the north woods. Sylvania Wilderness area offers pristine canoeing fishing and camping on several lakes. Sylvania Outfitters can rent any equipment. The Porcupine Mountains with it's 'Lake of the Clouds' on Lake Superior are beautiful with many hiking trails and beautiful beaches. Madelaine Island is a 15 minute ferry ride from Bayfield, WI and is enjoyable as a lunch destination or to see the museum there. There are many golf courses in the area, some extremely well maintained and others have been carved out of the forest. All are challenging. Fishing is available on Lake Superior or several lakes. Most attractions are within 25-50 miles away. Fall 'color' is especially nice. Celtic Haus is a homebase for so many things to do, but also a restful place if that is what you would like.

Winter Wonderland Retreat

We just returned today from our weekend stay at Celtic Haus at Big Powderhorn. Our group of 8 really enjoyed the chalet.

It was wonderful having the big open area for hanging out and spending time together. We all enjoyed the sauna, fire place and convenient location to the hill. With fresh snow, this place really does look just like the pictures. It was very clean and well maintained. We were amazed at how quickly the BPLA (Big Powderhorn Lodging Assoc.) staff arrived when we called to request more towels! It was less than 5 minutes!

We also enjoyed cooking pizza's from the Cheese Haus. This is the gift shop next to where you check in. They have a great selection of snacks and souvenirs. Another "must" on your to do list in the Western UP is a sleigh ride. We were thrilled to find out that a nearby farm offers sleigh rides in the evenings. It was a magical experience that we all enjoyed.

Overall, we will certainly return to Big Powderhorn again. We were very happy with our stay at Celtic Haus.

Owner's Response: Thank you very much for the nice review.
I am so happy someone else enjoys our house as much as we do.
I have tried very hard to include all the amenities and plusses of staying at Celtic Haus, but from your review I see I have missed some.
Again, thank you.

I had a beautiful stay this week at Celtic Haus. I so appreciate the owners thoughtfulness with an extremely well-equipped kitchen. A real colander, good quality pots and pans, good knives and an excellent coffee maker. Thank you! In addition, the beds are very good quality - no sagging mattresses.

Best of all is te general laid back vibe. I love the big window in the great room and all the little clerestory windows - it feels like you are right outside in the woods. There's a lot to do in summer: hiking and mountain biking and Lake Suprtior. But doing nothing at all is pretty great, too. Thank you for shari f your wonderful get away in the north.

Our family has been coming to the Celtic Haus for the three of the past four years and it has been a fantastic place for relaxing fun vacation. It was my fault that we did not go one year and I have been paying for every year.

We love this place. It's clean and well located for quick access to skiing and snowmobiling.

Summer at Celtic Haus

5 of 5

We loved our stay at Big Powderhorn very much! We called the Celtic Haus home for a week this summer and couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable stay! Centrally located between Ironwood and Bessemer, Michigan there is a lot to do during the summer! We visited Lake Superior (at Black River Harbor) and hiked the trails right there to see the beautiful waterfalls along the Black River itself. On the way out to BRH we stopped to see "Copper Peak" which we hear is North Americas tallest ski flying hill. You can even take a trip to the top of the jump and see Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Canada!

The Celtic Haus is clean and neat, well equipped and very comfortable! There's room for everyone there! Very spacious for the money! We will be sure to stay again! Thanks to the owners, you are doing a great job!

We LOVED the Celtic Haus!!

Our family just returned from a 3 night stay at the Celtic Haus...and to say we loved it is an understatement! Our teenage age daughters who are 17 and 16 each brought their best friends along and they all had a blast! 2 of the girls set up "camp" in the loft and made it their home for the duration of the stay...they loved that loft!

Celtic Haus is beautiful...so cozy and inviting. There is plenty of room and then some. Thank you for all the extras...movies, books in the bookshelf, board games in the dresser drawers and everything you could ever need in the kitchen! It truly felt like home when we were there!

We highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Just found your site while I was planning our February, 2008 vacation. Our family of 5 was quite comfortable in the chalet. The kitchen was well equiped so preparing meals was easy. Our kids (4,6, and 11) enjoyed a variety of runs on Big Powderhorn mountain and we were comfortable with our 11 year old taking the convenient shuttle bus down to the hill in the morning. There was plenty of hot water for showers and the kids enjoyed the bumper pool table in the basement. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a family vacation and winter distraction.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much! Our family has enjoyed Celtic Haus for many years. When the children were younger we spent every Christmas there. The skiing is wonderful and the holiday crowds don't usually arrive until about the 27th, so there are virtually no lift lines.

We have stayed at the Celtic Haus now several times and keep coming back "home" to it every year! It's a great retreat from the real world. Talk about RELAXING!! We love the ammenities and the charm of the house (haus as they call it). Every year the U.P. gets a ton of snow that makes for a great day of skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. By the way, snowmobile trails are easy to get to from the house. They connect with a bunch of trails including one that goes up to Lake Superior! Talk about fun!!! We got to see "Copper Peak" which is a "ski flying hill" (I call it ski jumping but what do I know). They have rides up to the top where you can see 3 states PLUS CANADA! VERY COOL! Tons of fun things to do from Celtic Haus. Thanks for the great North woods retreat! We'll be back for sure!

Owner's Response: We really appreciate your review. We try to make Celtic Haus as "user friendly" as we can.
Happy skiing, boarding, mobiling, shoeing and whatever in the UP!

This place was great. All of our family, friends and kids were able to stay in one cabin and ski Big Powderhorn and also Indian Head Mountain just a few minutes away from the cabin. For once this is an accurate listing of what you see is what you get. The booking process was easy and last years snowfall was good. The Celtic Haus is an annual place we like to go to every year for our ski vacation.
