About this property

Entire place

da Big House, 2 blocks from Lake Superior, near Pictured Rocks, Trail Access.

This property is located in the town of AuTrain and is only 15 minutes from Pictured Rocks. Take a 5 minute walk to AuTrain Beach and enjoy the river or Lake Superior, or to just catch the sunset. The AuTrain River empties into the Lake providing early season swimming. This house was stripped down to the studs and completely remodeled top to bottom inside in 2019.

Space is plentiful for large groups of families. With accommodations for up to 12, this house is a great place for people to get together and enjoy the area. The property has a 6' privacy fence enclosing the entire back yard. There is a really nice campfire area setup to enjoy the outdoors and relax after a long day of exploring. There are 5 bedrooms with (2) king's, (2) queens and one (1) full bunk. There is a futon in the lower level for additional sleeping. Amenities include a washer/dryer, dishwasher, fully stocked kitchen with equipment to cook for 12 guests. All bedding, linens, towels, paper towel and toilet paper, gas grill with propane, 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. If this place doesn't have it, we will get it for you.

There is WiFi, three TV's, and a free canoe/kayak rental is included. (discounts for additional canoe/kayaks is available) The garage is available for your use as well.

This home was a perfect place to hang out during the down time of our vacation. All 12 of us (9 adults & 3 kid's) fit comfortably here. There is a gas station, small shop and beach all within walking distance. Would definitely stay there again!

Great place!

Our group of seniors enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home. We were close to our trip on a Picture Rocks boat tour and know there were many more experiences available, but didn't have the time to experience them! Would recommend the facility for a group of family or friends.
