house is located on a very quiet lake
nice home located on a very quiet lake, 2 bedrooms downstairs 1 upstairs which makes it great for multiple families. Kitchen is a bit small but has everything you need for a vacation, the 2 floor deck is beautiful. The house has a fire pit and a gas grill. Also has baby gates so it is very kid friendly.

Great snowmobiling location.
House was very clean. Plenty of beds, although the north set of bunkbeds is very wobbly. Nice hot showers, upstairs shower valve=hot & cold is backwards, but worked ok. Located less than 1/4 mile from snowmobile trail #8.

Sunrise Special
What a great property to watch the sunrise over the trees and the lake with the beautiful fall colors. Plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy the views. Multi level deck to drink your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. This house is a no brainer if you are into the beauty of the outdoors!

Lovely home, great birding
Wonderful property, the house was well stocked with everything we needed for a great stay. Due to Covid we cooked all our meals at the house. The house is a short drive to Valley Spur for great cross country skiing and not far from Eben Ice caves. Most mornings an eagle perched near the window and a pileated woodpecker worked on a near by tree.

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.

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!

rental
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: house was very clean ! A few issues tho. Large spider nest in the kayak, unaware until out on the water. Pots and pans were worn out, no finish on the bottom. Steps to the lake covered in green mold and slippery, causing a fall down 10 steps! Need to be scrubbed. Volume does not work on the bedroom TV upstairs. No emergency numbers for needs after hours. Toilet in the upstairs bathroom slow to flush. Cornhole board broken. Able to play by propping it up tho. No info about supplies in the garage as part of our stay, just had to sort out what was available.

Lake view
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house wasn’t our first choice, but we were moved here after a maintenance issue at the first house. We realize sometimes these things happen and they were very apologetic and gave us a partial refund which we felt was a generous amount. It was nice this house has 2 bathrooms and the view in the back was really nice and peaceful. There are lots of birds to watch. We wished we had brought binoculars to see the birds on the lake better. We had chilly weather, but the outdoor area would be nice to use if it was warmer. We didn’t need the third bedroom, but noticed it didn’t have a window. They did add a fire extinguisher for safety. The kitchen was small but adequate. It was very clean.

Outside us the best part
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outside,fishing and enjoying a fire, yes, the most enjoyable part. Inside was very disappointing. Drab, dirty, old and in a serious need of replacement of the throw pillows, either clean up the filthy couch in the basement, or send it to Goodwill. Kitchen is already dark and dreary looking, so the greasy stove and the poor attempt at cleaning the refrigerator and the drawers and cabinets inside appeared to be someone who is not concerned with pride of ownership. Those throw pillows and the 2 chairs upstairs, nasty. When did cleaning, like washing pillows or throwing them out become out of style? That sad excuse for a "bed" and a bedroom, I am speechless aa to why you think it's appropriate to even say it's a bedroom. Next to the furnace, really?? ThT bunk room, no.... the bathrooms, ugh. The whole vibe of the inside tells me the owners, etc are looking to earn some extra money, this is NOT the way to do it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented the house for a girl trip with my sisters and my best friend! There were 6 of us, we had a such a great time! The house was just perfect. Very comfortable and plenty of room. Everyone had their own bed, and the two full baths were so nice. Also a nice kitchen for some light cooking. The house was super clean and cozy. We loved the view of the lake, absolutely beautiful! And a very good location for our daily adventures. I would definitely recommend this place, and hope to get to come back some day!
