Lovely Comfortable Home!!

We loved our stay at the Swede House. We were in town for a funeral with our grown children. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything we needed. It is set in a quiet neighborhood one block off of Ludington which had plenty of restaurants, very convenient. Many thanks to the owner for the extra coffee!

Christmas Escanaba

Wonderful Dutch-colonial full of interesting antiques. Very large bedrooms upstairs, each very private. One block from many restaurants and coffee shops. Enjoyed walking and driving through the historical neighborhood. A few blocks from Lake Michigan. We stayed during Christmas and did a lot of cooking. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Will stay agsin in the future.

Great Stay

We had a great stay with two adults, a toddler and two dogs. Everything was comfortable and Jerry was very accommodating and easy to work and communicate with. The house was clean and quiet and we didn’t even notice the tenants (who were very nice) in the basement apartment other than our dogs alerting here and there. Overall a great stay! If you travel with small kids, just be prepared to put some of the beautiful but toddler tempting items away behind the doors in the sunroom to keep them safe.

Escanaba gem

The Swedes House is truly a gem. The house was clean, comfortable and was exactly as listed. Check-in and out were a breeze. Communication with Jerry was excellent! We took a star away for the location/neighborhood, but that was really due to some noisy neighbors down the street, which no one can really control. Our stay was fantastic. Highly recommend!!!

Good Host

I did a walk through when I got there, because I had broke my foot and wanted to see how many steps on the stairs. The house needed to be thoroughly cleaned, a lot of cobwebs for me. Then I found out that reading an email they send out to Vrbo renters that someone would be in the basement! Freaked us all out. Luckily no one was renting out the basement. The host was very good, very helpful, and very responsive.

Great time in Escanaba

My wife and I stayed at this property while we were in Escanaba for a funeral. The property is older, but in a good way. Beautiful older home, nicely furnished, but still very comfortable. The owner was very quick to answer any questions, and had the home nicely prepared for our stay. We will probably be returning to the UP next year and plan to stay at "The Swede" if it's available. One thing to note. The home is 2 story, and the bedrooms are upstairs. please keep this in mind for older/elderly guests who may have issues with navigating stairs. Again, it's a beautiful home, and we had a great stay.
