The house was in a wonderful location. Centrally located between Marquette and Munising. We visited Pictured Rocks, which were amazing. My families favorite places were actually smaller locations not far from the house. My teens favorite spots were Au Train Falls and Laughing Whitefish and Whitefish Falls. They loved these spots. They were very quiet. We were the only ones at Au Train Falls and Whitefish Falls. We ventured to Marquette and Presque Isle where the kids jumped off the cliffs of black rocks. The location of the house, right on the lake was perfect. We loved sitting in the evening on the dock and kayaking.

Perfect private location

Stayed here for 2 nights. 2 families with preteen boys to explore the Pictured Rocks area. The house was clean & in a great location to Munising. Right off the road but had a private back deck with no neighbors that you could see. The boys enjoyed fishing off the dock and in the rowboat and caught numerous small perch and a pike right from the dock.

A private lake get away

This was our first time venturing into the UP. We loved the lakefront property. Access to Lake Au Train directly from our personal dock was great, appreciated having the boat and kayaks on site with life preservers. Location has great proximity to the offerings of Munising and the Pictures Rocks.

Wonderful for a Family

We enjoyed our visit to Au Train, and this house was really perfect for our family size (2 adults, 3 kids 9, 6, and 2 1/2). It was very clean and spacious. We didn't use the firepit, but my kids tried kayaks for the first time, which they loved. The lake isn't really ideal for swimming (weeds/muck), but perfect for fishing or kayaking. The house is a bit close to the busy road, so that's my one caution for families with young children. The house is pretty toddler-proof though :) AuTrain is just 5 minutes down the road, and has a great pizza place, along with a small conveniece store. Munising is nice and close for groceries or food too. I highly recommend checking out the waterfalls in this area. AuTrain Falls is right down the road, and Wagner Falls is maybe 10 minutes away. The one quirk was a noisy doorbell unit in the hallway, but it didn't bother me, though it could be a little annoying for some. I would absolutely return to this house!

UP trip 5/18 to 5/24/24

We all loved the house. It was very clean and the beds and furniture were comfortable. The location was very nice and private. We had a lake directly in our back yard and enjoyed the firepit in the evenings and the kayaks. It was a small branch off of the larger Au Train lake but an easy row to the bigger lake and very safe. It was so peaceful to sit on the dock and hear the birds and frogs sing while fishing. We had some nice hikes. Particularly liked Chapel Falls and Chapel Beach hike. It was beautiful. We took the Pictured Rocks Cruise tour and we visited Marquette Maritime museum and lighthouse. The Delft theatre was a great delicious restaurant in Marquette. We also took a day trip to Mackinac Island which was a 2.25 hr drive away. That was so fun. There was a lot of driving but everything was within about a half hr to 40 min drive away at most. We did a lot of walking. We also spent a day at home chilling. There was wifi and roku tv and some games. There is a little grocery right up the street, Au Train grocery and they had most of what we needed. We only did one initial grocery trip to Munising. On the last day we drove up to Ipsheming and toured the iron mine. That was fun too. There were a few things that didnt open until Memorial Day like the glassbottom boat tours of shipwrecks, so missed that one, but the maritime museum was really great too. Thanks for a great stay.

Long awaited reunion getaway

We had a much awaited reunion vacation with my family and the vacation home was the perfect venue. Though the non stop rains during our stay did restrict some of our outdoor activities, we had a good time bonding and spending special moments together indoors. This vacation stay was so memorable and will be etched in our memories forever. Next time we plan to use the kayaks and canoes they provide :). Also the backyard is just breathtaking.
