About this property

Lake House on Lake Superior

Welcome to Kimar's Resort! From the lake house, you feel like you are "on the water." The views are unparalleled. We are centrally located between Marquette and Munising, 2 of the UP's most popular destinations. We also are across from another inland lake in addition to being right on Lake Superior. Our unique location gives you the opportunity for observing eagles, sunrises and sunsets, meteor showers, Northern Lights, moonrises, as well as rock hunting. This is a nature lover's paradise!

We have a 7 rental resort on Lake Superior. The Lake House is our most premiere and private rental. We also have a charter fishing service onsite.

Great location right on the lake!

Enjoyed our stay at the simple lake house with beautiful views of the lake and our own steps down to the rocky beach. Great location for us as we hiked in both Munising (PIctured Rocks) and Marquette (Sugar Loaf Mountain). Not fancy, and some old worn furniture, but comfortable, quiet and hard to beat the views.

Great location, right on Lake Michigan

We had a great time staying here. The location was perfect, about 20-30 minutes from either Marquette or the Munising / Painted Rocks area. The house is right on Lake Superior and the kids loved swimming every day. For a warmer swim, which the adults appreciated, Deer Lake is an easy walk just about 200 yards away and has a wonderful sand beach.

Lake House

Great location with many options for hiking, sightseeing and boating all being only a short distance away. The house was spacious enough for six adults, nothing too fancy but had everything we needed and was very clean. It's a great spot on Lake Superior and also has a very nice sandy beach across the street. The host, Sara was also very nice and helpful.

Great home base!

Centrally located for all of our activities. Fantastic sunrises out the living room window. Very clean, plenty of room inside the rental. We would definitely rent this property again. This is part of a charter boat rental “resort” with lots of other smaller cottages which we weren’t expecting upon first arriving, but we loved the location and felt very comfortable here.

Beautiful lake front retreat

I’m very glad I booked this lake house. I was planning a UP trip that had some flexibility and I wanted a lake front place and this did not disappoint. The sounds of the waves hitting the shore was second the actual view from the moment you step in! House was clean and spacious. Located conveniently between Munising and Marquette for day trips and the host provides information on places to see and visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house. Counldnt have asked for more. Incredible location, incredible view of lake Superior and magnificent sunrise. Sarah was very helpful and very responsive. Thank you for that. My kids 17 and 20 also had a great time. Best perk is that canoes and kayaks are available that we can use anytime.

Cute Lakeshore retreat

Cute, quirky Lake Superior Lake House. Owner was very responsive & quick to help with a small water issue we had. My family stayed for 4 days at the end of a two week Upper Peninsula vacation. Our last day was wet & stormy and we were at the perfect location to relax & enjoy the view of rain across the lake. One word of warning, in last June the mosquitos are THICK & HUNGRY!

Wonderful place to stay!

Three couples visited this awesome lake house to celebrate a 50th birthday. It is hard to describe how wonderful the view from the house is, and how awesome the beach is! Very beautiful rocky beach, but with easy access to the sand bottom of the bay just a few feet off shore. The home was super clean and the owners were great! Excellent communication, and very welcoming and friendly. The location is very good, with access to more beautiful beaches within a mile or two, and calm Deer Lake right across the road if you prefer a little warmer water. It was such a good experience we booked again for a week next summer. Thanks Kimars for a fun visit!

Beautiful property with everything we could have needed

My family of 5 loved the Lake House in Au Train. The views of the lake are unbeatable, listening to the waves in the morning and evening made the trip. The house was exactly as listed on VRBO. We had everything we could have needed and more available to us. The accommodations were fantastic, the rooms great size, plenty of space for us all to hang out. Sarah was so friendly and welcoming, as was everyone else we saw while at the Lake House. Sarah even brought the kids over a black light flashlight to look for glow rocks on the shore. Checking in and out was a breeze at the property. Thanks for the fantastic stay and great memories.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Kimar

Host profile image
Kimar's Resort was built by Al Kimar in 1945. Originally the property contained 6 small cottages. We still have 3 original cottages and 4 other rental units including the Lake House that are newer or upgraded. Our resort is currently run by Al's son Dave Kimar, his wife Chris, their 4 daughters, and 4 grandsons. We have kept the family business for over 70 years and will continue to do so as long as God is willing!

Why they chose this property

We are located in a small bay on Lake Superior, sheltered from the lake's harsh winds.
Shelter Bay truly offers shelter to all who come here. We have 2 kayaks and 2 canoes available right outside the Lake House for kayaking in the bay where you can see a family of eagles that nest nearby. It is also great for rock collecting! The full moon rises right out the front window of the Lake House. Directly across the highway, you can swim, cookout, or watch the sunset at Deer Lake. We are a short drive from sandy beaches. We also have a charter fishing business on site if you are interested in catching some Lake trout to cook on the gas grill in the community pavilion or on your private charcoal grill. This is a down-to-earth property; we have many boats on site and a number of other guests. Friends from the resort often times gather at the campfire and share a beer and some laughs under a moonlit sky. If you want an authentic Yooper experience this place is for you.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous lake view
Located on 2 lakes (Lake Superior and Deer Lake)
Kayaks and canoes provided
Firepit with wood provided
Community pavilion with gas grill and picnic table
