Great stay! Very peaceful location right on the lake, simply beautiful. And the hosts go above and beyond…wine, chocolates, breakfast items, and Bob shared his personal craft beer with us. You can’t go wrong with booking this place. Thank you Bob and Julie for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful setting, view, home and host.

This is a perfect place to stay in and around AuTrain. The view from the home is beautiful along with access to the water Julie & Bob are the perfect hosts. They make your stay special with caring for your comfort and visit with many extras - breakfast for your first morning, wine and treats. The home is beautiful & meticulous and has more items than one could ever need. The bed is extremely comfortable Their attention to detail is in every aspect of their place. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay or more wonderful hosts.

Lovely Stay on Lake Superior

This was a fantastic stay. The view and location were perfect for what we wanted to do on this trip. It is close to activities like pictured rocks and has lots of good dining options if you prefer eating out. It was a little different staying in the house with hosts but there is an easily accessible private entrance and the back yard area including a deck overlooking the lake and a private beach were left all to us during the stay. A nice boardwalk around to the entrance made loading and unloading the car easy. There were lots of extra amenities including a sauna and a pool table. The hosts gave us tons of good information and even had wine, chocolates plus breakfast food stocked in the refrigerator.

Julie and Bob were SUPERIOR hosts.

Their place was perfect for our UP get-away: the location right on Lake Superior was magical. We swam, enjoyed the sun from their beach chairs and, checked out all of the beautiful rocks on their beach. The rental was clean but homey. We could tell it was a place they cared for and enjoyed spending their time in in the off-season. More amenities than we could’ve ever hoped for including tons of two player games, A SAUNA, exercise equipment, a nice TV, and wine and chocolates on arrival. Definitely recommend this place to any and all hoping to have a relaxing and/or activity-filled vacation.

Comfort of home & the wild beauty of nature!

This property was exceptional! The bed was comfortable and the bedroom large enough to spread out all of our luggage for easy access. The living room and fireplace were cozy with the sound of the Lake Superior waves crashing in the background. The suana was relaxing and easy to use. The beach was sandy and only a few steps away with excellent views of the islands, and wood/kindling was provided for the beach fire pit. To top it all off, the owners provided breakfast food for the first day and a bottle of wine with chocolates!

UP getaway

What an amazing place! The location was perfect for exploring Pictured Rocks, Grand Island and numerous waterfalls. Also enjoyed tasty food at Foggy's & Cap'n Ron's. Julie & Bob were the most gracious hosts and provided everything you could think of, from breakfast goodies to chocolates & wine to a sauna. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked and plenty of entertainment for an evening in. And the view! All we can say is WOW! We are so jealous that you get that view every day. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us, and for the recommendation for pasties from the Au Train Grocery. They are delicious! Also, kudos to your neighbor for the yummy homemade maple syrup. Thanks again for a most enjoyable stay. We'll be back for sure!

Gorgeous getaway

This property is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need for an extended stay. The shower/sauna is unbelievable and worth the stay by itself. Being right at the lake is wonderful too and we spent a while on the tiny beach at both day and night. We were nervous about the owners being upstairs, but we barely heard them at all. Julie and Bob are wonderful hosts and it's easy to strike up a friendly conversation with them. The place is conveniently located near Marquette and Munising with no shortage of things to do. We hope to visit again soon!

Great location and very hospitable hosts!

We really enjoyed our recent stay. Was exactly as advertised. Linda and Bob really go above and beyond with small details to make you feel welcome (e.g. wine/chocolates/breakfast basics ready for your arrival). They had advice on things to do and places to dine in at. They were kind and warm, making their home feel like our temporary one. The views from the lakeside property were fabulous-- it would be easy for someone to relax on the (basically private) beach all day if they wanted. Convenient location between Munising and Marquette so it was easy to do activities in both directions.

PERFECT setting!

My boyfriend and I took a spontaneous trip up to the UP and we were SO fortunate to find this gem over a busy holiday weekend. It was exactly what we needed, some peace and quiet that felt like home. We had everything we needed and more in the kitchenette. I highly recommend taking a cool shower in the hot sauna, so refreshing and relaxing! The space itself is fantastic but the cherry on top was the amazing 180° view of Lake superior from the Lookout deck and being able to sit on the beach watching the sunset or the sunrise. To our excitement we saw that the hosts provided kayaks for us to use however, due to weather, and time we didn’t have time to use them. Seems like a great excuse to come back to visit! The hosts were super welcoming and showed us the ropes so we could get the most out of our stay and then let us do our thing so we felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Thank you so much, Wisniewski’s, we will definitely try to get back there to stay longer next time! Thanks for letting us use the bug zapper, that was a game changer (I got one for my mom for her birthday! 😂)

About the host

Hosted by Julie and Bob Wisniewski

Host profile image
We are both retired school teachers from the lower peninsula who moved here to live in this beautiful area. We previously lived in Sterling Heights where we raised our six children. We know have 5 wonderful grandchildren and a sixth is due this summer. All of our children love to come visit us here, and it has become a very special place for them as well as us. We've made many meaningful memories here. We hope that you will do the same, and enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is located between the two cities of Munising and Marquette. We are in the middle of the Hiawatha National Forest and some of the most beautiful shoreline in the Upper Peninsula. From the property you can see Grand Island in the distance and picturesque little AuTrain Island is within a
kayak ride away. You cannot find another lodging closer to the water than Cherry Pointe Cottage Apartment or more accommodating hosts.

What makes this property unique

Although we live on the premises, you will be the only other people on this property. You have a private keyed entrance and a very large area to stay; more spacious and homey than a hotel/motel room. It's a cozy, comfortable apartment.
