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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nice house with a great view

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: We stayed at the Forest Lake House on a snowmobiling trip. The driveway had enough room for a couple of trucks and a long trailer. The house was compact but had everything that we needed. The view from the living area was beautiful and the second living area in the basement provided plenty of space to relax. It looks like this would be a great place in the summer too as it has multiple decks that make their way down to the river. This property had very easy access to the snowmobile trails via the side of the road for 0.4 miles to trail 8.

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.

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.

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.
