Great stop!

Enjoyed discovering downtown Ishpeming, as it is beginning to make a comeback. Easy to walk to some restaurants and bars. The RARE EARTH CAFE is outstanding : Varied menu items, and everything is great!! Don’t miss VELODROME COFFEE — great coffee shop. If you haven’t heard about PRESQUE ISLE PARK — about twenty minutes away in Marquette, check it out. It’s an amazing place. … likes a mini National Park.

Great place to stay! I really like how quiet it is at this unit. It feels safe and is perfect for accessing Marquette and avoiding crowds. Cost is fair. Ideas l: colander for spaghetti noodles. Perhaps a block with some kitchen knives…Medium sauce pan. It’s really a great place. I’ve stayed here before and love it. Thank you for being available and checking in with us when we arrived.

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 mountain bikes, fat bikes, and bike path e-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 is a couple minute drive away.

Ishpeming is only a 15 minute drive from Marquette, where you'll find even more trails and opportunities 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, Rare Earth Goods Cafe, Congress Pizza, Mamma Mia's Italian restaurant, Buck's Restaurant, Buck's Subs, and Ish Creamery. Also nearby are a number of antique shops, a pharmacy, grocery store, etc.
