So I'd assume you guys will be driving your cats north from the BRL on Friday morning, correct? (not trailering to Copper peak parking lot)
ill be trailering, I was warned of a couple anti snowmobile home owners. If they see a cat track and follow it, It will be the snow cat that is the problem

You will have to check their website
Here is an exclusive booking link for your group: https://bit.ly/reserveclowder23 This is the Black river lodge.
i speculate the facility is likely sold out.
I would advise calling and starting a wait list and begin the search in the village for lodging that suits your needs.
this is our host
I am aware that there are a large amount of ABNB ( air bed and breakfast) in the area.
Bessemer and iron wood MI have traditional franchise hotel and motel offerings.

previous post #39 addresses the lodging on goings.
Here is another interesting bit that makes the midwest event interesting.
Description of the link:
the preceding wednesday has what is regionally called the *arrowhead Groomer show* (AGS) it has become the nationally recognized event to release NEW grooming equipment. New pulling units, new drag technology, technique and training seminars ect.
the AGS is a hands on event. Food provided and fully sponsored reception or better stated meet and greet the night beforehand.
Personally I find it a great addition to the Over the Snow week long experience. Operate the newest on wednesday and then cruise the wilds of the upper midwest in some of the oldest operating machines in existence the rest of the week.
The walk around show on Saturday is special in its own way.
Lots of snow
Lots or sponsorship swag (Two manufactures to date)
The Thursday trail ride has an interesting surprise *event within an event* unfolding.
Confirmed winter Camping settlement * inquire privately for the coordinates and contact info*
Please refrain from sharing this information in *other social media streams* Cross Posting This event is tacky, the event suffers when the wrong crowd consumes this content and then heads out on their own and upsets what is a delicate land use issue in the region.

You guys will have an awesome time. We have have been getting a lot of snow here in Bayfield County and I’m sure they are getting more to the east! Be safe and please post some photos / video of this years outing!

Hi All,
As of late last night, all private rooms and townhouses in the Lodge are reserved. We have 6 hostel beds still available, which are best for single travelers or maybe a couple if they are cool splitting a bunk bed. (FYI, No pets in hostel as its simply not set up that way.)
There are some third-party owned townhouses across the parking lot that I have 2 groups possibly booking, but if I hear that they are not going to take them then I'll pass along the links for them tomorrow. Give me a day to check around with my connections and I will get back to you here with some alternate options for small business lodging or neighbor's rental properties. I would much rather recommend fellow small business lodging or my neighbor's rental homes if I can.
Andddd the countdown to Clowder weekend begins...
Stay Tuned,

We tried to but failed to get some participants to join us in a townhouse at the BL lodge so I'll try here.. PM me today ifr you like to join us there, or we will grab a motel in Ironwood this evening. The TH is 180 per night, two nights minim but that's all we are staying anyway. Anyone here interested in that?
Yes. The thursday outing is gaining some interest and has a couple exciting new twists.
there will be some right sizing of rooms happening soon i am sure.

@redsqwrl Just curious what you mean by that? Do you mean cancellations? I haven't heard of any that might be... have you?
We still have 6 hostel beds open if anyone wants them.
Update on other accommodations nearby:
Across our parking lot are some third party owned townhouses.. I know 2 of them rent out via VRBO. If you want to be close to the rest of the group, you will want to inquire on these. FYI - Both do not accept dogs. Sounds like both are running around $180 per night, but don't quote me on that.

3 miles away - Our friends down at Powderhound Lodge also said they have one room left open that weekend as of right now.. Not sure what type or price. They are minutes to Powderhorn. Google them and Call Anne.
3 miles away - Big Powderhorn Lodging Assc. told me they have about 12 villas/homes left starting around $300 per night that weekend.
Wakefield - SnowChaser's Lodge in Wakefield said they have a few openings that weekend as well and they also have a large parking lot that can handle rigs/trailers. A little further out.. but another fellow small business lodge.
The only other places I'd recommend in town that would have enough parking space is Americinn & Quality Inn.

Got my Townhouse booked at BRL for Thurs-Sun. First time bringing a Cat(s)....
Trying to decide if I should try to make it up partway Wed night or if I can make the 5 hr ride Thurs am. What time do the festivities kick off on Thurs and approx what is the location?

I am usually one of the last into town thursday A.M. the outings go out in waves of folks. the morning people will get out and plow out access and light fires as needed. the sleepy heads and folks that need a jumpstart to get going will head out later and play catch up.
I am a catch up type of guy due to my day job.
Now that’s getting sophisticated!
I’ve got bunk beds reserved! I’m sure there will be something!

Hello there, We just booked the only available room we could last night and it's a double Queen. If any king size suites turn up available we would love to upgrade
