Home away from home

Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun. This 3-bedroom, 2 bath home offers everything you need to enjoy all the Central UP has to offer. The house is located near the heritage trail and is close to other bike and snowmobile trails. The house also has an oversized two car garage where you can store your bikes or snowmobiles. We are a few blocks from downtown Ishpeming, and just a 20-minute drive to Marquette.
You will also find an extra-large living room with plenty of seating and a pull out sofa for extra sleeping room, a nice sized dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. There is a private back yard. The unfinished basement has plenty of room to hang your wet snowmobile gear, and a washer and dryer to keep up on your laundry if you choose

Home “Base” Bike ride

We came up for the Crusher EX 100 bike ride and the location of the home was perfect. We did not have to go far for supplies and just went to Marquette for dinner. Perfect location and not a lot of difficulty getting around. Hosts were amazing and responded quickly. We had everything we needed available to use. Wonderful place.

Plenty of Room!

We were in town for a wedding, and my daughter lives just a mile or so down the road. This was very convenient for us. I was pleasantly surprised by how much room we had in this house. There were 5 of us, and I’m sure we would have been very comfortable even with a few more people. Everything was clean, and it had nice/new appliances. We took advantage of the 2-car garage since we had 2 vehicles. I have no complaints! Thank you Deanna!

A great family-friendly place to stay!

The house was clean and comfortable, perfect to come back to after fishing and our outdoor excursions! It had all the basics and the garage was definitely an added benefit! The host was fantastic, easy to contact and quick to reply! The only thing is we didn’t realize that one of the bedrooms was small and within the other bedroom, which took some adjusting for my daughter and son. Also, it was quite dark in there and didn’t have any outlets that we could find to even use a nightlight. The neighborhood was fairly quiet but the houses are close together and the road is pretty rough
