We had such a good time staying at Matterhorn! Matterhorn was our "home base" during our team trip up for Sisu Ski Fest. It was such a great fit for us: lots of space and very comfortable rooms. We especially loved the conversation pit and fireplace! We hope to be back in the future
We have stayed here twice. It is kid friendly and in a very quiet location. It would be nice if the hot tub was available during the off season, but understandable.

It was very peaceful and quiet. The grandkids (11-24) loved it, and so did the rest of the adults.
My adult children, their partners, and I all enjoyed our stay. Easy access to numerous hiking trails and we spent one day at the Apostle Islands. All the amenities were as described and house was really fabulous.

Wonderful family time
Matterhorn provided my family with a wonderful space to enjoy a four-day weekend. There was plenty of space for sleeping and and family meals. We spent a lot of time enjoying the area hiking and everyone had a wonderful weekend. we will definitely be back again!
The house was very comfortable and easily accommodated our group of 11 adults. It was clean and well stocked. There was plenty of room to hangout and to play games.

Matterhorn stay
Matterhorn is a absolutely perfect place to stay to visit Bessemer and it’s
Beautiful surroundings.. including our relatives who live in Bessemer. We have stayed there many times and it feels like home.. one thing I might mention is the little ants 🐜 that hang out in the kitchen. Dishwasher, and countertop.. The large tv was awesome for us to watch the soccer play off. Thank you for keeping it up so nicely. Hopefully we can stay there again next year.

Large accommodations for a large family
We had a wonderful weekend at Matterhorn. This is the perfect setup for our 18th annual fall family trip. There is a bed for everyone and each family has their own bathroom. The kitchen is great for our family to cook and enjoy delicious meals with enough seating for the entire group. The living area has plenty of seating and the children have room for playing games. This year the weather was perfect for the kids to have fun running around outside. We love this property however it is beginning to show signs of heavy use. Some of the drains were running very slow, there are water spots on the kitchen ceiling, the cupboard doors are getting a little loose, the carpet is stained but this really didn’t impact our fun. I bet that we will be back again next year and maybe if we are lucky the place will be spruced up a little bit.
This place is a great place for a large group. We had 12 people and loved that each room had its own bathroom. The gathering area is quite large as well.

Loved that we were able to find a place to fit our entire family ! It was great that every bedroom had a bathroom !
The house was very nice. It was an easy drive to Porcupine Mountains and Black River Trail.

Another wonderful weekend
For the past nineteen years our family has enjoyed a fall weekend getaway. For the past for years we have stayed at the Matterhorn Chalet. There are fourteen of us aging from 8 to 75 and this is a perfect fit for our group. It isn’t fancy but is a comfortable place for our four night stay. We make good use of the many beds and bathrooms. The living room is very big and the dining table plus the stools at the counter seats the entire family. The area is beautiful and there are endless opportunities for hiking and many great beaches to enjoy. We highly recommend and hope to return again next year.

Weekend with sisters
Great weekend really enjoyed Matterhorn. Just a small comment the tub drains were slow in a couple of the bathrooms. Hoping to rent again next fall.
Enjoyed our stay, comfortable for our large group of 14. As there is no AC we requested fans that were delivered to the property before we arrived. Very clean and qll amenities were working
We had 7 kids and 9 adults and we all fit perfectly. Lovely location for waterfalls and Lake Superior. Home was VERY well stocked with slow cookers, electric griddle, cookie sheets, and more. No complaints.
We had a great time. The only hiccup was that the run and lift the lodge was located on wasn’t open when we were there. It was remedied by a quick 3 minute drive.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location. Spacious. Accommodated our family of 10 with room to spare. Could use some updating.
It was a very enjoyable stay mostly. The only real issue we had is we couldn't figure out how to turn on the air so it got kinda toasty at times. Also there was no gas for the grill. Other than that was a very nice stay. But it could use some maintenance on the house. The house was pretty well clean. But could really use some extra deep cleaning in parts of the house

Matterhorn
We loved our stay. This is the second time we stayed there. But as much as we love it, we have been disappointed that we were not able to ski in ski out either year. So sadly. We are booking a different place next year.. if this place does not work out. We will be back . Our only complaint is that the whirlpool tub and the floor are showing their age. Last year it was not very clean so we brought cleaning supplies this year . Also, there was no dishwasher soap .
Other than that....we loved it there.
We had a lovely time staying at this property. There were 16 of us altogether, ages ranging from 3 to 60+. It was wonderful that each bedroom had it’s own bathroom, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and play, read, or play games. The only problem we had was that the key access was listed at noon, and we mistakenly thought that was the time we could access the cabin. This caused a little mixup with the cleaning person, which we regretted. Other than that, everything was lovely...in good repair and very clean. Would love to stay here again sometime… Thanks for making us welcome and helping us have a great family vacation.
