Cute little stay in a cute little town!

Between the lovely decor, the small town feel, and the pizza place that's a 2 minute walk away I struggle to find any complaints! Communication with the property owner was clear and effective, and we had a wonderful stay!

West End Front

This is a great little space in Ishpeming! It was perfect for us while we moved our daughter back to NMU. The bed was super comfortable and we appreciated the AC and fans! Can't wait to stay here again but with our bikes this time!

So cute!

The property was so clean and uniquely decorated. The comforter smelled freshly laundered and the bathroom was spotless. Everything needed was there. We cooked breakfast there every morning. The decor had some rustic touches and some of the furniture pieces were repurposed and fun! It was over all very comfortable. We were very happy and plan to stay when we visit family again.

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Prusi

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.
