Location: Au Train, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA (17 miles West of Munising, 25 miles East of Marquette)
Accommodations: Lakefront Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-6)
Come stay at your own private cottage and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Lake Superior and Au Train Island. It's the perfect place for a family vacation, a getaway for two, or a small group.
Nestled on the shore in Shelter Bay with 165 feet of private lake frontage, relax and unwind in a peaceful, quiet setting. As you sit on the front porch with your favorite book, watch the birds as they come to the feeders and listen to the sound of the waves lapping on the rocks.
You may even get a glimpse of an eagle gliding along the shore. If the weather isn't to your liking, grab your book and head to the screened/glassed-in gazebo by the lake. This picturesque bay with its view of moored boats and countless sea gulls, provides a perfect backdrop for a true vacation.
You're sure to enjoy the vibrant fall colors provided by Mother Nature, as the cottage sits on the edge of the Hiawatha National Forest. In the winter, snowmobilers can be assured of continuous snowfall amounts due to "lake effect" conditions and often have fresh powder to head out to the trails on, which are easily accessible from the back door.
This clean, tastefully decorated cottage comes with a fully-equipped kitchen and everything needed to make your stay as comfortable as being at home. The open kitchen, dining, and living area have breathtaking views of Lake Superior. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and a small balcony for you to enjoy. The other bedroom has a queen-size bed and a set of large bunk beds.
Linens are provided but you do need to bring your own bath towels and washcloths. Smoking is NOT permitted inside the cottage and pets are sometimes allowed if approved in advance, although there is an additional fee. Unfortunately the cottage is not handicapped accessible.
Just walk down the road to Shelter Bay Charters so you can go out and catch your own supper. The Weber grill will be assured to do the trick and provide a mouth-watering main course for all to enjoy! If boating isn't your thing, take a walk just a half mile to Deer Lake, a beautiful inland lake with excellent swimming and picnic facilities.
Au Train, six miles east, features one of the most pristine white sand beaches on the south shore of Lake Superior and is a favorite swimming and canoeing spot. Nearby you can find area waterfalls, Grand Island Recreation Area Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Seney Wildlife Refuge, US Forest Service Songbird Trail, and the Alger Underwater Preserve.
Once the sun goes down, head for the fire pit for some smores and maybe a sing-a-long. Or if you've had enough fresh air for the day and decide to call it a night, relax as you let the sound of the waves lull you to a peaceful nights sleep. Truly a perfect four seasons vacation place for all to enjoy!
