About this property

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.

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 is supplied. If this place doesn't have it, we will get it for you. There is WiFi, three TV's, a large gas grill, and a free canoe/kayak rental is included. (discounts for additional canoe/kayaks is available) The garage is available for your use as well.

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.

Nice stay

Everything was clean and pleasant, but would have been much better to have footstools, or even one large footstool so people can put their feet up after a long day. The beds were very comfortable, also.

6 adults and 4 pups- best vacation ever

The property was perfect for 3 adult couples with dogs. The backyard was fantastic with a fenced in yard for the pups to chase each other and spacious enough for yard games. The location is fantastic, just walk 5 minutes down the street right to the beaches. The interior is stunning, don’t let the modest exterior fool you, this place is absolute gem.

About the host

Hosted by Cory Cole

Host profile image
Plain and simply, I am a Yooper. I live locally year round and am a wealth of knowledge when it comes to exploring our area. I graduated high school and college here and I am an avid outdoors-man, I camp, hike, bike, kayak, ski, snowshoe, ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile and Jeep nearly the entire U.P. and if you have heard of it, chances are I've been there, or done that. I also know some places 'slightly off the radar' if you are looking to get away from the tourist areas. Just ask, I'll be happy to give you advice.

Why they chose this property

I was a transplant to this area during high school years ago and left then came back. I couldn't stay away forever, this area is unlike any other. Sure there are beautiful places all over the country, but no matter where you are from, this place is special beyond words... My family and I moved here in 1995 and my mother lives here to this day. She is renting it for the summer months and will move back in during the Fall. I own/manage 9 other properties here in AuTrain and have done so since 2009. Since that time, I have been providing people a great place to stay, and the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful area.

What makes this property unique

This house is big and accommodating! it's only 2 blocks from Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks is only a 15 minute drive, waterfalls are all around, the river is warm and sandy, the snowmobile/ATV trail is just 2 blocks away, fishing nearby, kayaking opportunities within minutes away, so many more......
