Slope-side timber and snow

Positioned directly at the foot of Whitecap Mountain, Handerhaus frames unfiltered alpine mornings, heavy cedar timberwork, and panoramic snow-covered ridges through soaring cathedral glass. Experience private residential ease paired with true ski-in access to ancient Penokee trails.

Craftsmanship & Living Quarters

Inside the mountain lodge

From hand-chiseled fieldstone masonry and heavy white pine trusses to the heated boot-warmer room, every interior space is crafted to handle snowy alpine gear while offering deep, quiet residential warmth for extended winter mountain stays.

Penokee Range Solitude

Snow accumulates fast across the Penokee Range, piling against the cedar decking while the stone hearth crackles well past twilight. There are no shared lobbies or noisy resort corridors here—only quiet timber, boot-warmer comfort, and three dark peaks resting beneath northern stars.
