Winter

Welcome to Hurley, the
Snow Capital of Wisconsin!
The first snow, the last snow, and the most snow in Wisconsin

Experience the winter wonderland surrounding Hurley. Whether you enjoy skiing cross country or downhill, or something with more roar on a snowmobile, the Anton-Walsh House Bed & Breakfast Inn is the place to stay.

Enjoy:

	*Nordic skiing on 140 km of trails within less than 30 minutes from the inn, including ABR Cross Country Ski Center, Wolverine, Montreal and Uller trails, all within 10 minutes;*
	*Alpine skiing at Whitecap, Big Powderhorn, Indianhead or Blackjack mountains -- we're located central to these ski resorts that are within 15 minutes;*
	Snowmobile the vast tracts of open and free wilderness in Iron County along with 1,000 miles of trails within a 50 mile radius -- you can enter the trail system right from our inn, so unload the trailer just once and you're on your way plus, new this year, boondocking through 175,000 acres of county forest land;
	Snowshoe in the wilderness, ice fish, or experience the fun of great food and lively nightlife on world famous Silver Street just one block away! The night belongs to Hurley.

We offer three unique rooms, each with its own theme and private bathroom. If you've never stayed at a bed & breakfast inn before, think of us as a mini hotel with warm hospitality. Enjoy big plush towels and high thread-count sheets. Book one room -- or the entire inn for your small group.

To make sure you have a comfortable room and hearty home cooked breakfast, check availability using the email form at the bottom of the Rooms & Reservations page, or call us at: 715/561-2065.

Five resorts to ski or snow board feature 34 ski lifts, more than 100 downhill runs for the beginner, intermediate and advanced skier. You'll discover the best Alpine skiing in the Midwest right here. That makes Hurley and the Anton-Walsh House Bed & Breakfast Inn a central location for you to experience the Midwest's finest in downhill skiing. The Whitecap Mountains, Big Powderhorn Mountain, Indianhead Mountain, Blackjack and the Porcupine Mountains offer skiers and snow boarders exciting options.

Snowmobiling

The infamous TEAM SHADY are fun, regular guests who come from Brainerd, Minnesota to snowmobile. Iron County is featured in SnowGoer Magazine year after year. And Hurley, with world famous Silver Street, perpetually holds the title of Number One for Nightlife! You can connect to all of the trails directly from the Anton-Walsh House. A designated trail connects you with our Wisconsin trails and those in neighboring Gogebic County, Michigan just two blocks away. There are more than 500 miles of well-groomed trails in Iron County alone! When you add neighboring counties, including Michigan's Upper Peninsula next door, you'll discover more than 1,000 miles of snowmobile trails within a 50 mile radius of the Anton-Walsh House. The many restaurants and nightclubs in downtown Hurley are all within easy walking distance from our inn.

Nordic Skiing

A couple of our favorite guests here to cross country ski. More than a dozen cross country ski centers surround the Anton-Walsh House. That gives you more than 140 kilometers of unduplicated trails from Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains to the Mecca Trails winding through Mercer. We're located within 10 minutes of the ABR Ski Trails, Wolverine Nordic Ski Club Trails and the Montreal & Uller Trails in Iron County.

ATV

During the winter, ATVs are welcome on many Iron County Snowmobile trails. Please consult the map to see which trails welcome ATV riders. They're available here for our guests or you may request one mail to you from the Hurley Area Chamber of Commerce.

Also find ice fishing on the Gile Flowage and snowshoe hiking amid many of our forested areas!
