You are also within an hour's drive to ski trails and hills, bike and ATV routes, Lake Superior, Northern Michigan University, Sawyer International Airport, and much more! SLEEPS: 8 BEDROOMS: 3 BEDS: 5 BATHROOMS: 2 \*\*LOCATED ON THE MICHIGAMME RIVER\*\* YEAR-ROUND ACCESS My Mother's House has been newly renovated and is ready to welcome visitors. Enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors right off the back porch. It's a great place to land if you're visiting friends/family in town, planning to hunt, fish, boat, ski, snowshoe or snowmobile in the area, or if you just need to unplug and rejuvenate. This house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is all on one level. Guests also have access to a washer and dryer. Windows overlook the beautiful Michigamme River where wildlife, such as eagles, hawks, geese, otters, beaver, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, many species of birds, fox, deer, turkeys, and even a moose have been seen. There are also fish in the river - muskie, bass, rock bass and trout to name a few. The Iron Ore Trailhead is an easy 3 miles North, where you can walk, bike, ride your ATV or snowmobile all the way to Marquette.
