Welcome to Black River Crossing Bed and Breakfast!!
We are situated along the banks of the Black River in Bessemer, the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan ("da UP eh"?), a stones-throw away from the Lake Superior attractions and the small towns of Ironwood, Bessemer, and Wakefield. Bessemer is still in the Central Time Zone and most importantly for winter sports in the lake effect/snow belt and near the Ottawa National Forest.
Our home was built in 1997 of white pine logs. It has been meticulously maintained since then and we take great care of this hidden beauty.
We have three beautifully decorated themed bedrooms all with private bathrooms; two with fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. There is also a wood-fired sauna on the premises ($50) and a hot tub (complementary).
Take a stroll through our beautifully landscaped yard. There are also walking trails throughout the 28 acres eventually bringing you to the banks of the scenic Black River, where we have a picnic area and tree swings. As the Black River nears Lake Superior it creates a number of waterfalls, some of which can be accessed by foot from Black River Harbor Road/CR513, designated the Black River Scenic Byway.
If you prefer to relax at the house, we have 4 common areas where you can relax, one of which is a screened in gazebo which is cool in the summer and bug free!
Copper Peak, the only ski flying hill outside of Europe, is 7 miles from our bed and breakfast. During the Summer months you can go on the adventure ride, and during the Fall you can view the Fall colors from the top, overlooking 2500 square miles, three states and Canada on a clear day.

If you are venturing out to visit us in the Winter months, we are very close to a number of ski slopes (less than 1 mile from Big Powderhorn) as well as snowmobile trails.
We are fortunate to have jet airline service from Chicago and Minneapolis, direct into Ironwood through Denver Air Connection. We also have one rental car agency (Red's Car Auto) who will deliver your car to the airport.
Although we have a very loveable Husky, we unfortunately do not allow pets.
Our bed and breakfast is for adults only who want to get away from it all and relax.
Please note that there is no smoking of any kind allowed anywhere on the premises.
We ask that you do not use the main floor living room, upstairs is a common area with games, books, puzzles and a wood fireplace. Each room is equipped with their own Roku television set.
