The atmosphere is fantastic -- it truly feels like you're up north in the Northwoods. It has that cozy, laid-back ski vibe that makes you want to hang out after your runs. The food is reasonably priced and always hits the spot. Drinks at the bar are a little on the expensive side, but that's pretty typical for ski hills. I've never had an issue with any staff members -- everyone has always been friendly and helpful. Service upstairs in The Hideout can be a bit slow at times, especially during busy hours, but it's nothing that ruins the experience. Overall, it's a great place to ski, relax, and spend the day. Highly recommend -- especially if you're looking for that true Northwoods feel.

I could seriously begin to write a Pure MI ad about how much I loved this campground. I went to…read morethis campground in the middle of August and the weather was ideal for camping. It warmed up in the afternoon but was nice a cool for sleeping. We stayed with another couple on our site and it was a tight squeeze. The sites here are very small so keep that in mind if you are traveling with a large group. In order to get a spot right on the lake you have to book 6 months in advance and it is totally worth it. You can hear the waves crashing onto the beach from your tent and it is well worth booking a trip so far in advance. We stayed in spot #1 for a four day trip. It was a short walk down to the beach where we watch the sunrise every morning. The bathrooms were nice and well cleaned. There is a camp sponsor who stays a month at a time on the campground to help organize events. My only complaint is the fire pits didn't have grates or anything for you to cook over so that meant becoming buddy-buddy with our neighbor to borrow supplies. The hiking was amazing. There were plenty of good trails within a 20 min drive of the area. We had such a good time exploring the area. I will stay that the trails are extremely muddy after a good rain but after two days they dry out pretty well. We didn't explore any of the restaurants but there are several within 30 mins drive. Overall I can't wait till we can go back to this campground and I would highly recommend this mountain range to anyone in the Midwest.

The place was immaculately clean. On our way out, we actually met the cleaning lady, and you could tell she really takes pride in what she does. That may not matter as much if you're just up there hunting or fishing with the guys, but if you're going up with family or your wife, I think it matters a lot. The other thing I really liked was the location. Lake Gogebic is a pretty good-sized lake, and wind can make a difference. At Timbers, you have direct access to some protected water, so even if the wind kicks up, you can still get out and fish. With a bait shop and boat rental on site, plus a convenience store just a few minutes away, Timbers checked all my boxes. CJ and I will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful stay

This rest area is easy enough to navigate and is not very large. I would expect that in the busy travel season, it gets quite full. The tourist information center is stocked with all sorts of brochures, organized by the different regions of Michigan so you're sure to find something interesting if you're stopping in the state. I found a few things for this trip and added a few bookmarks for the next one. I had a very nice chat with the woman staffing the center. Very pleasant, very helpful. There are clear signs that overnight parking is not permitted but I believe that if you're decent about it - no camping, no slideouts and especially no cooking - you should be okay to spend the night here.

I mean, what is there to do there in the woods, staying in a real log cabin, with spotty at best wireless coverage and no mall in sight? Well, my sister and I were shocked and pleasantly surprised to find out that staying at The Bear Track Cabins in Ironwood, MI there is A LOT to do and we can not wait to GO BACK! I'm not sure if it was all the scenery, the beauty of nature we experienced, and the many activities that we had never enjoyed before, or if it was the genuineness of Mr. Norm, the proprietor of The Bear Track Cabins, and the way he helped us to see all that the woods, streams, waterfalls, lake and wildlife had to offer my sister, family and me. Let me tell you, the thought of staying in a real log cabin freaked me out ... but the three cabins that Mr. Norm (we started calling him Norm of the North by the second day!) has there and rents, we took the smallest and it served our needs perfectly, are just as genuine, authentic, clean and inviting as Mr. Norm is. Yes! You CAN shower AND go totthat bathroom IN your own cabin!! And we had electricity too for drying our hair ... I think he called this "glorified camping", which for my sister and me - was AWSOME! Campfires at night making s'mores, nature trail hikes during the day, enjoying beautiful scenic views along at least three spectacular waterfalls - two right across the road from The Bear Track, and swimming in Lake Superior and then playing on the beach afterwards - there was SO much to do we were actually very sad when our five day adventure was up. We had heard about these glowing Yuper Rocks on the Internet, and with Mr. Norm's guidance, we went "hunting" for them on one starlit night and successfully found a small baggie full to take home - so remember to bring your black light too! We did take the Adventure Ride up Copper Peak, rode the elevator and then climbed the stairs all the way to the top - this is a MUST DO experience. I think we saw Canada from up there! The downtown of Ironwood was fun to walk around and the shops were so quaint, as were those in Bessemer - either is about 20-30 minutes away. But the crown jewel of our trip was staying AT the Bear Track with Mr. Norm as host. He even surprised us with a north woods treat on our last night knowing that my sister's birthday was the day after we were leaving. So much fun, so friendly, so knowledgeable about the area, and his dog Cinjin was a lovable, cuddly companion and made us not miss our pets back at home as much. We will miss Cinjn, Norm of the North, and The Bear Track, but have told our dad that we DEFINETLY want to put that on our annual To-Do list instead of Great America or other places we have gone that turned out to be a disappointment - The Bear Track was the exact opposite ... and to 14 and 20 year old girls who live for Disney - this is the highest compliment The Bear Track and Mr. Norm can receive!
