The apartment worked great for a quick get away to see the beautiful surrounding area! It’s an old building, so it has character, but has plenty of space for two, the kitchen is useable and bed comfortable. Plus you can walk to Congress pizza, velo coffee and a handful of other places!

Great weekend away

We enjoyed our time at this VRBO, it was just big enough for the two of us to relax while accomplishing a few things we needed to get done. Its proximity to Marquette made it easy enough to get anything we needed without having to go super far.

Great little place

We had a great stay. Everything was exactly as described and even better in person. The space was spotless and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. Communication with the host was seamless. The location was perfect for what we needed. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed home base in the greater Marquette area.

Great for Our Weekend Trip

Apartment was perfect for our quick weekend trip up to the Marquette region. Nice having a local bike shop, coffee shop, and pizza just around the corner. Property Manager even put a couple bike stands in the apartment for us, which was great!

The apartment had everything we needed for our stay from coffee to plenty of extra towels! If you are planning on visiting the region to explore all their hiking trails, this is a great location to stay and just 25 min away from Marquette. Make sure to visit Velodrome, they have awesome coffee and great waffles and sandwiches!

Lovely space. Clean & well stocked with the basics. It's an upper unit that would be a challenge for anyone who has difficulty with stairs. It is also in a rather tired/abandoned section of town. Several empty buildings typical of some of our towns in the U.P. There is an IGA in walking distance and also, the lovely Carnegie Library. I appreciated the efficient air conditioning and comfortable bed. Very quiet neighborhood. Easy parking.

Lovely

I traveled to the U.P for work purposes, so I wasn’t able to check out all the beautiful things. However, my stay was fantastic. The apartment was so homey and cozy. And most importantly , very clean. It was the perfect spot in the middle of everything I needed. The many windows were my favorite. The perfect breeze came through. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Prusi

Host profile image
I'm the owner of West End Ski & Trail, a bike and trail sports shop in Ishpeming. Our shop's first location was the front unit at this property! I'm enthusiastic about trails and introducing people to this awesome community. We can offer rentals for bikes, as well as guided mountain bike tours.

Why they chose this property

Downtown Ishpeming is a great hub for outside activity! We are close to the RAMBA trail network, which has 80 miles of singletrack for mountain biking, hiking, and trail running. In the winter, the trails are groomed for fat biking and snowshoeing. Snowmobile trails go through town, and for cross-country skiing, the UP Nordic Ski Complex and Al Quaal is a couple minute drive away.

Ishpeming is only a 15 minute drive from Marquette, where you'll find even more trails and opportunity for outdoor activities year-round. The Iron Ore Heritage Rail Trail connects the two communities.

What makes this property unique

Our property is located right in downtown Ishpeming, one block off Main St. We are an amazing homebase for all of your adventures. Don't want to drive? We are walking distance from Velodrome Coffee Company, Rare Earth Goods Cafe, Congress Pizza, Buck's Restaurant, and Ish Creamery. Also nearby are a number of antique shops, a pharmacy, grocery store, etc. It's also short walk to the Cliffs Shaft mine museum (open seasonally).
