Cozy Stay Close to Trails

Heather is a fabulous, responsive host and the location could not have been better for our stay during the Marji Gesick. The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to a cute lakefront park. While the listing states there are 2 bedrooms, access to the second bedroom and the bathroom requires passing through the first bedroom, so it is not a truly private space, which is something to consider depending on who you are travelling with.

Excellent place to stay

It was a well kept clean and fully stocked kitchen with appliances and cookware. The crock pot was especially a good idea as we could have warm good meals at the end of a long day. It's centrally located for easy access for things to do.

About the host

Hosted by Heather A Swanson

My husband and I are life long residents of Ishpeming. We raised our three children as proud Hematites. I am a histoy teacher at the Ishpeming MIddle School. I am passionate about my community and it's local history. We also love to travel and explore new places. Creating a space that is functional and inviting and allows people to enjoy Ishpeming and the rest of the Upper Peninsula seemed like a great fit for me as I consider retirement from teaching.

Why they chose this property

This lovely home sits at the base of Pilot's Knob and directly across from my parents home. We bought it from a tax sale in August of 2021 and began renovating it with the idea that we would share it with visitors to our area. It overlooks Lake Bancroft and has a very unique bluff as a backyard. Next spring we will ad a deck and outdoor firepit area for our guests to enjoy.
