Chateau Merlot is the ideal vacation home for large families or groups seeking comfort, convenience, and plenty of space. This expansive home offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level and 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the lower level. Perfectly located just 4 blocks from the main ski lodge, it’s an ideal choice for winter enthusiasts and those looking to unwind in style.

Our office is right here in the Powderhorn area with on-site maintenance, housekeeping, and reservation staff ready to help. You’ll always have support nearby, and if you’d rather not stop in, we’re also available 24/7 by call, message, or email. Whatever works best for you, we’re here to make your stay as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, the Powderhorn area is a true four-season destination.
The neighborhood also offers great local spots to enjoy—grab a hearty meal at Iron Nugget, sip a coffee at Copper Cup, try out a beer at Cold Iron Brewery or try a local favorite at Pit Stop, Uptown Café, or Club 28. You’ll also find shopping, live music, and seasonal festivals nearby that bring the community to life.

In winter, you’re just steps from Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort and a few miles from Snow River for skiing and snowboarding, along with direct access to hundreds of miles of scenic snowmobile trails. When the snow melts, the adventure continues with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, fishing, and exploring the beauty of the Northwoods.

    We had a group of 12, including a couple of kids. The bedrooms were set up great to have both families and couples have their own space that fit them well. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. it’s always hit or miss and we were very pleased with all the available resources. Communication from the owner was great. We frequently stay at a different place each year but the group agreed this was on the list to stay at again.

    We had a very nice week with family. Great location, with many things to do within an hour drive. We enjoyed several nights by the fire and breakfasts on the deck. Very close to Ironwood making it easy to get supplies when we needed.

    We had a fantastic stay at Chateau Merlot. Absolutely Loved having a large space for our group to hang out with a REAL Fireplace, sauna was way better than we anticipated. It was the perfect place to relax after skiing at big powderhorn.

    This was the third winter we've had a group up to BPLA for a ski weekend, all three places we've stayed so far have been great but Chateau Merlot definitely takes the cake! Very cozy, lots of space for our group to unwind after a day on the slopes. The sauna was phenomenal!

    We had a great weekend with a group of friends. There were 9 of us, but could have comfortably fit more people. The kitchens were fully stocked and had all we needed for the weekend. We would highly recommend this house and hope to come back again next year!

    I give Chateau Merlot 5 stars, and you will see real stars at night sitting at the bon fire! We lucked out with the weather, but if we had to stay in the place was clean and has such a friendly atmosphere.. My friends and I are planning to come back next year. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

    Chateau Merlot This chateau is amazing and exactly as described. Very spacious yet cozy. We’re repeat renters. We stayed 5 days. It’s summertime and had perfect weather. We enjoyed the wonderful deck every day. Enough tables and chairs for our whole group to sit & relax, play games, share meals, fresh air and just enjoy nature! Great view from inside. It’s very accommodating, clean and comfortable. Open concept for the kitchen, dining area and living room. Great for keeping the conversations going. Kitchen was fully stocked, had everything we needed for cooking, serving and eating. Main level has 3 bedrooms, comfy beds and 2 full bathrooms lessen any wait time. Only regret was not making time to use the new sauna. Although July isn’t skiing season, there were many activities available to us. The chateau is also not far from Lake Superior and many breathtaking waterfalls. Looking forward to our next visit!!
