About this property

Lake Superior Lodge w/Private Lakefront Large Deck, Island Views, Pictured Rocks

Large Home on the shore of Lake Superior. Lodge has all amenities included. Huge 2nd level deck with patio furniture to relax and observe the lake. There is a very large yard and parking area. The Lodge has everything a normal house would have. Dishes, cookware, tableware, etc... There are 5 bedrooms, two with a King, two w/queens, and the 5th has twin full size bunk beds, sleeping a total of 12 guests. There are three full size bathrooms, 2nd level bathroom has a shower/Jacuzzi tub combo and the 1st level bathrooms have shower stalls. Included in your stay is a gas grill with propane, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and softener as well as coffee filters for our regular drip coffee maker. We don't provide toiletries. All bedding, towels and linens as well as a 55" Smart TV, WiFi and internet streaming service.

Au Train is located in a beautiful rural area, and unlike cities, homes here do not use a municipal water system. Instead, everyone relies on a well system for their water including us! Well water is completely natural an does not contain additives or chemicals such as chlorine, commonly used in city water. Because of this you may notice that the water can taste or smell different than what you're used to at home. We do have a water softener and provide you with a reverse osmosis drinking water system and of course you're welcome to bring bottled water if you prefer.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore begins in Munising, which is only a 15 minute drive away and there are over a dozen waterfalls within a 30 mile radius of this home. The National Lakeshore provides days worth of outdoor activities and adventures. Nearby AuTrain Lake and AuTrain River provide a wonderful place to enjoy swimming, water sports, fishing or a relaxing paddle. The AuTrain River provides excellent swimming where it empties into Lake Superior, and kayaking as it winds 7+ miles through the Hiawatha National Forest. Kayak rentals are available, otherwise feel free to bring your own, there is plenty of space to park your boat, trailer or whatever you bring. If you are into fishing, Bass, Walleye or Pike are your most commonly fished in AuTrain Lake, and Trout and Salmon in Lake Superior. Kayaks are available for rent.

I have seen nearly everything in this area and am a great resource during your stay. I will meet with you after you arrive and give you advice about the area and things you can enjoy during your vacation.
Stretch out in the jetted tub. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms.

This property sits on one of the most beautiful lots in Au Train. Finding it and checking in was very easy, and the property manager was very helpful. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience did not meet expectations. The place was not very clean. The hot tub needed attention, the shower curtain should be replaced, and the dining chairs were old and dirty. The bathrooms did not feel inviting, and the overall interior design felt unfinished. Some furniture choices, like placing one sofa behind another, did not make much sense. Even small details, like not having a sliding screen door to the rooftop, made a difference, as it would help keep flies out.It does look like the property may be going through renovations. I hope the owner sees the true value of this location and invests in updating and redesigning it.

Amazing location but falls short

The location and pictures of the lake are accurate, absolutely incredible, and will be completely worth it to some guests. Unfortunately, there were issues that soured the experience.The property does not provide shower products like shampoo or body wash. The host informed me the day of check-in after we had already hit the road, so we had to buy products instead of bringing from home. He was generally responsive and nice, but this would have been good to know in advance. Similarly, the property also does not include any tissue paper, which you really would expect.The water in the house smells strongly of iron and I'm assuming this is just because the house is on well water. There's a tap with a filter in the kitchen that makes the drinking water taste fine, but it's unpleasant to brush your teeth or shower. One of the bath towels was heavily stained red/orange, which does not make you feel clean.Finally, there were a ton of spiders and insects all over the place. The downstairs entrance had large webs on the front door and the initial entryway low enough to hit your face. The grill on the deck was against a corner with webs everywhere, which doesn't feel good about the food. I know it's the woods / lake so there will be insects, but I don't expect to see large established webs in interior spaces - what's the cleaning fee even for if you aren't sweeping all that away before each stay?These are fixable issues and I hope they are because the house could be amazing.

Wonderful Cottage!

The location of this cottage is excellent! It is near several hiking trails, public beaches, a great grocery store and restaurants. We LOVED the deck and the swing by the water. The interior was well-appointed and comfortable with lots of seating and sleeping options. We appreciated having WiFi access. The host supplied detailed, easy to follow information for check-in and check-out. We hope to come back to this wonderful cottage.

Snowmobile Getaway

Great place on a Great Lake. Absolutely beautiful lake view. Was not bad getting to the trails from the cabin. Actually, a nice warm up run before the trails! We were a little hesitant on the parking situation with having big trailers. After we put on our big boy pants it was no problem at all. Might a been a little tricky if there would have been larger snowbanks. In the end, the place was great. Full filled our needs.

On the lake

We loved our stay at the blue lodge. Amazing view of Lake Superior. Could sit on that deck all day and watch the Lake. Nice grassy area for kids to play, and the sandy beaches in Au Train are amazing. House is very comfortable,kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds. The stairs were a little scary with a toddler who doesn’t know he’s a toddler, and the water in showers had a strange odor. And the pics showed the stairs so just need to be careful. Thankyou! Hope to come again

The view of Lake Superior was amazing but the deck was in serious need of power washing. The ceiling fan had large chunks of dust hanging off of them. The kitchen sink while clean had stains so it didn’t appear clean. Updates need to be done

Plan on renting again!

Every member of our group was in awe of the location & the view! Even with a house relatively close there was the feeling of complete seclusion. No white noise needed on first two nights as the sound of waves against the shore was all we needed. Slept with windows open all 5 nights! Launched our own kayaks from shore & paddled to nearby (2+ mi) Au Train Island. Launching from rocks was a bit tricky and could only be done when the water was calm. Will definitely plan on going back. Only 4 stars because things just werent as nice & supplied as we are used to at other short-term rentals. Gary

Overall good. Great location. House was older with self renovations that allowed a big family to all be there. Down graded for overall cleanliness and furniture/bedding was old and uninviting. didn’t provide a lot of supplies ( had to buy paper towel, garbage bags) . I think upgrading furniture and linens would go a long way.
