About this property

House in Bessemer - 3 BR/1.5 Bathrooms

Our cozy miner's house is nestled right between the #2 Snowmobile/ATV and Iron Belle bicycle trails, and is less than a 15-minute drive to Big Powderhorn or Big Snow ski resorts. Mountain biking opportunities abound all over the area. Prefer waterfalls, beaches, or whitewater? Got that too. Reach Lake Superior in under 30 minutes. The smallies are always biting on the Gile Flowage, less then 20 minutes west. Choose your own escape!

Ready to make dinner? You will find everything you need in our comfortable-sized kitchen, including a variety of cookware, a kuerig and drip coffeemaker, microwave, air fryer, blender, all staples, a vast array of spices, and refrigerator. An island provides extra counterspace and adds additional seating. The dining room table seats 6. A full size Weber is available for grilling.

Sit around the fireplace on one of the two couches in the living room while you watch cable TV, or stream entertainment to your own devices using high-speed internet. We also have a firepit out back for you to use.

Re-charge for your next day in one of our bedrooms on the second floor: a master bedroom with a queen bed and walk-out balcony (when not snow covered), a second with two twins, and a third with a bunk bed for the kids. Supplemental electric baseboard heat will keep you toasty on cold winter nights.

The 1st floor bathroom has a walk-in tub/shower and a second 1/2 bath is conveniently located between the bedrooms. Linens and towels are provided.

Play in the woods and have easy access to shopping and restaurants in Ironwood, Hurley, and Bessemer. You'll love it here!

Cozy and convenient

I loved my stay in this cozy house in Bessemer. The house had everything I needed for a week-long stay. It felt more like staying with family than staying in a sterile, sparsely-furnished rental. Everything I could have imagined was provided. The host was very helpful and communicative. I hope to visit again next summer.

Perfect landing spot

We were in town visiting family and spending most of the time at their house. This is exactly what we needed-a place to sleep and grab a quick breakfast before our daily adventures. Desk space was a pleasant surprise as I had to work some while we were there. Quiet neighborhood.

Best home away from home!

This place was the PERFECT choice for my snowmobile trip to the UP. Couldnt beat the location with the trail just 2 blocks north! Lots of places to eat, many ski mountains and best snowmobile trails in the country! Was suppose to be 4 guys but only 2 guys made it, which was still ok! Plenty of space! Will be recommending this one to others and will be returning next year!

Roomy Cabin Feel

You have a large blended family; so, finding accommodations in a typical hotel, just won’t do. Traveled for a family wedding on my side and all of the family enjoyed this place; not an easy feat with my step kids. We didn’t have much time but enjoyed that they were games available for all ages and a nice roomy open living & dining space. We hope to return here again sometime.

Great Stay in the Old Hometown

Great place off the beaten path, but still close to what we needed. In town for a football reunion and needed a place for my brother and I. Found a winner. Old charm in a fresh environment. Joe was always in communication with us and made sure we had everything. Check in and check out was a breeze. For those who snowmobile or ATV for recreation, you are literally within walking distance to the main trail. Thanks for the hospitality Joe. Will definitely look to book next time we are headed up.

Great location

This house is cute and cozy, and a wonderful location. You are literally 8 minutes from Big Powderhorn. The fireplace created a warm place to relax or read. We truly enjoyed our week in this house. Joe was a very gracious host, and kept the driveway plowed after each snowfall. We'll definitely consider going back. I worked from the house and wifi worked flawlessly. No issues during any of my Zoom meetings.

Character building ski patrolling with friends

A very welcoming, interesting, charming and cozy home. Comfortable for our group. Excellent directions and communication with the host. The home was warm, water pressure in the showers was excellent, no shortage of hot water for the five of us showering. Well equipped kitchen for all of our needs. Beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean. Wood burning fireplace was a welcome relaxing spot on this very cold weekend.I learned of the pet charge after booking. It is not unreasonable, less than boarding our precious pet. I believe that the nightly pet charge should be listed in the booking information.All told, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this host to anyone who wants to visit the area.Thank you for hosting us.

Wonderfull little home

The home 2as very clean, organized, a lot of things, like a ninja blender, air fryer, spices, etc. The oven is a little slow to heat up. The stairs are a bit steep and short so beware, but it is an old house. The bathroom shower head is a bit short, and the bathroom upstairs is very narrow, not suited for tall or wide. The yard looked nice, didnt get to use all amenities as we were using this as a base to our other daily activities. The owner was very kind on short minute notices, it was very secure and safe. I would highly recommend this property.

Just what we needed

We needed a place to cozy up after skiing at Jackson Creek and Black River Basin all weekend and this place checked all the boxes. Nice and close to the hills. Clean. Warm. All the basics we needed. My kids were thrilled about the bunk bed. The owner communicates well. Is it fancy? No but it didn’t need to be and we weren’t expecting it to be. Overall very pleased and if we come back to the area would rent it again.

Cozy Retreat

The weather was cold and snowy during our October trip but that made this home all the cozier. The home has everything for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the upgrades of the new touch controlled thermostat and the easy access lockbox with motion activated light. Perfect size for us and our college aged kid. The hearty food at nearby restaurants was delicious after working up an appetite exploring the Black River beach and the waterfalls. Ironwood and Bessemer have lots of shops and museums to visit. Can’t wait to go back and keep exploring the area. The host was friendly and helpful. Thanks Joe. We had a fantastic stay in your home away from home. Jane, Mike and Jay

Nice place with plenty of room. The kitchen was clean and even had an air fryer and blender. The queen bed was a bit soft for my taste but that is a preference not a requirement. The local bakery, Bread of Life, had wonderful pastries and pasties. Joe checked in with us a couple times just to be sure everything was great. And it was. We were near plenty of great places to hike and enjoy the area. If we come back to this part of the UP, we will be checking here again.

Joe, your home was the perfect basecamp for our ski trip. It was super-centrally located and what I would call “rustic and wonderful”. The atmosphere was so welcoming. I would 100% come back the next time I'm in the area and would have no issues recommending Joe's home to others. It is simply perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Janczy

Host profile image
We like to spend our time outside which is why we bought this place. We take full advantage of what the Western UP has to offer--we ski, bike, camp, fish, ATV, and hike. Now that we are empty nesters, we are contemplating a full-time move to the area, but will continue to rent out our Bessemer home.

Why they chose this property

It has easy access to everything. You can play on the trails or in the forest, or check out the beaches and dip your feet in the cold water of Lake Superior at Black River Harbor, Little Girls Point or even the Porkies. Grab your golf clubs and play 9 at the Gogebic Country Club or Eagle Bluff. You can trailer the boat and take it over to the Gile Flowage, head south to the many lakes near Mercer and Manitowish Waters, or head east to Lake Gogebic. You can do any of these and still get back in time to do some shopping at the Super One and get dinner served. Rather go out to eat? There are many wonderful restaurants, some sit-down like the Iron Nugget, Rigoni's, the Ore House, Kimball Inn, or the Liberty Bell Chalet, and plenty of more casual dining experiences like the Pit Stop, Dairy Queen, Tacconelli's or Mike's Restaurant in Ironwood. Catch a little TV, sleep comfortably, make some coffee, maybe a little breakfast and get in another round of what the Western UP has to offer in the morning.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to nature with the convenience of living in a town near shopping, restaurants and bars.
