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.
What makes this property unique
Nice quiet neighborhood overlooking the lake and close to everything!
