Close to the trail without the trailside price!

Bear Hug is a rated a Deluxe unit, Category "A" by BPLA and is located at the base of Powderhorn Mountain in the UP of Michigan and is available for rent.

Bear Hug, a BPLA Award Winning Unit, is a very nicely decorated two bedroom townhouse which sleeps 4 to 8.  It's located a block from the ski lodge and a short walk through a wooded trail to Lift 8.  Small, well trained dogs allowed.  Sorry, no cats or smoking allowed.

The upstairs is all living area with a great view of the woods. The galley style kitchen is fully stocked, complete with dishwasher, microwave, frig, and full-size stove.  The bar area provides counter space and seating.  The round pine table seats 5.  The living room has a sleeper sofa, two rocking chairs,  TV with DVD/VCR, CD/cassette player, and wood burning fireplace with free firewood. The full-size bath has tub and shower with extra space due to the curved shower rod.

The downstairs has two bedrooms, both with queen beds.  The back bedroom also has a day bed and trundle bed.   Both bedrooms have mounted cable-ready TVs with VCRs.  There is another full bath downstairs, including a whirlpool tub and shower.

Bear Hug is on the end of the building, so it is quiet and provides a wonderful view with windows on three sides.  There are dressers and shelves in both bedrooms and lots of pegs for all your gear!  There is a ski rack outside Bear Hug's door for your convenience. 
 

  • In the morning, enjoy a short walk to the lodge (about a block), get your lift ticket and secure a locker.  Then ski home for lunch on the trail!  Bear Hug is less than 200 steps away from Lift 8 on Tamourou Run.  At the end of the day, ski to the lodge, lock up your skis and enjoy another a short walk home or simply ski home. 
  • You can also ride up Lift 8 first thing in the morning.  Just inform the lift attendant you would like one ride so you can ski to the lodge to get your lift ticket.
  • The shuttle is also available for pickup to and from Bear Hug if you so desire.  A phone call is all that's needed.

In the evening, soak in the whirlpool and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire while you watch the snow gently fall in your back yard woods!  Enjoy!

If you have questions, feel free to contact the owners, 

Don and Mary Lou Bevers
Bear Hugs to You!
