The AuTrain Lake House, Newly renovated home on Autrain Lake near Pictured Rocks

The “Au Train Lake House” is located 15 minutes west of Munising and the Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore. For you snowmobiler/ATV folks we are only a few minute ride to the trails. We own 3 other properties within a couple miles from this lake house and maintain a 5 star rating on all of them. This is a very spacious home that is newly renovated , central A/C, all new furnishings, linens and an amazing custom kitchen with granite counter tops. You will find everything you need to cook or prepare mostly anything. Also, you will find a drip coffee maker with filters provided, as well as a Keurig (BYOB pods)

Stay at the Autrain Lake house and you could wake up early and watch the sun rise over Lake Au Train on the east facing front patio or sit on the back deck in the evening and watch it set over our private Paulson Lake. Our lake home seep sleeps seven (including adults, children & infants) & sits on a unique “dual lakefront” lot with no neighbors. The setting is one you would never grow tired of!

Autrain Lake is great for watersports and fishing. With a public boat launch on the south end of the lake, bring your own Rec/fishing boat to our 30ft dock (in from mid-June until early September). Spend some time in or out on the water, paddling around in one of our 4-10 ft kayaks or 2-SUPs we have on site available to rent. (Life jackets and paddles included) They are $75 per unit for the length of your stay (payable on site if you wish.) If you pre-pay them in advance with your reservation they are only $50 per unit for the entire duration of your stay. Recap your day near the campfire watching the sunset over Paulson Lake unwinding from hiking and waterfall touring. Campfires in designated pit area only. Absolutely NO FIREWORKS on property at any time. In the winter months, after a day of play on your sleds, come back and warm up by the fireplace, or cozy up on the couch to watch a movie, on the 55" Samsung Smart TV with 200+ built in channels, plus Hulu or Netflix capabilities as well as gaming inputs. Ultra-fast Starlink Wi-Fi. Just a note: the attached garage is for owner storage & not available for guest use. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, OR DATE CHANGES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

We will allow 1 pet at the Au Train Lake House, you must inquire first, as we do have a pet policy that must be agreed upon, as well as a small pet fee.

Au Train Lake House
We come to Michigan to go snowmobiling and stayed in this house. It was 2 miles either way to the trails. The house was very nice, very clean, and well-appointed. The fireplace was nice. There was a lot of places to sit and hang out. The property was well kept and the owners were very kind and responsive. We would absolutely stay here again.

Nice but Let’s just say I won’t be back
I encountered a few issues. 1. I have an esa (dog), on the add it said this place was pet friendly but I got charged an extra $99 fee because their cleaning lady charges them. I didn’t think it was fair being that in the state of Michigan we are not supposed to be charged any fees for an emotional support animal. 2. The house reeked of bleach and other cleaning chemicals the whole time we were there, I woke up with a headache every morning. The kuerig machine was dirty still had an old pod in it. No railing on front stairs, had to help my mother up and down when she wanted to sit out on the front porch. 3. There was only 1 tv in the whole house. Those were my issues. The house was nice but she made such a big deal about my dog thinking he was going to damage her home when I reassured her how well trained he is it made it impossible for us to enjoy ourselves without worries. Yes I paid the extra fees she was being charged by the cleaning lady, even though we didn’t leave a mess. She could use some coasters and I cured her iron skillet for her. I enjoyed myself more when I was out of the home and enjoying the town and Lake Superior.

Quiet and comfortable
This was our first time in the UP and we were looking for a house near Munising. We're glad we picked this house just 15 minutes away. It was very quiet with a great view of the sunrise over Lake AuTrain every morning. The house had everything we needed. Great well equipped kitchen, nice Wifi and TV for streaming movies, comfortable beds.

We had a great stay. Home was clean and exactly as described. Loved the views of sun rise and sun set . Very quiet. Close to everything we wanted to do. Extra bonus was the little neighborhood down our road to walk the dogs. Perfect weekend. Would rent again for sure.

My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about our stay in this beautiful home. It was close to all of the sites we wanted to see as well as several restaurants and breweries. If you’ve never been to see Pictured Rocks, it is absolutely amazing and this house is only around 15 minutes from Munising. We really enjoyed our time spent here.

Pretty views and very nice home
This house was a beautiful spacious house with views of water from both the front and the back of the house. It was close to the Au Tran river and Lake Superior as well. The kitchen was well equipped- though I would suggest at least 2 matching wine glasses and some potholders. The bathrooms were nice, there were hangers in the bedrooms, the dining room and living room were spacious and the washer/dryer was large. The house was very private with no neighbors . The owner was responsive to questions. The one caution I would give would be that the yard seemed to have chiggers. Be sure you use Off and wear shoes and socks! Otherwise, I loved the house and would recommend it!

Wonderful Stay - Perfect Location
What an amazing, beautiful, and peaceful property. The house was super clean, very well equipped, and very comfortable. This was our first trip to the Upper Peninsula and we were stunned by the beauty and serenity of the location. Perfect location for exploring the area, close to Marquette, Munising, and all the hiking, waterfalls, and beaches in the area. Hosts were quick to respond, and very helpful. Hoping to return next summer.

Super Clean - Everything as promised!
we were so impressed with the overall cleanliness, inside and out was amazing, was everything that we were promised in the listing and even more....many little extras that made the stay just that much more enjoyable. Thank you Matt and Holly for putting in the forethought of what you would want in your stay to be like then putting in the effort to make that a reality. You get it and do it! we had a great relaxing time celebrating our 30th anniversary, the location was perfect, loved the sunrises over the lake each morning, the birds singing throughout the day, and the peace and serenity of the surroundings.

Convenient location and just far enough out of Munising away from the busyness, but yet close enough to enjoy when we wanted. The view of the lake was wonderful to wake up to every morning. And the house was just as pictured and very clean. Glad we stayed!
