A private lake get away

This was our first time venturing into the UP. We loved the lakefront property. Access to Lake Au Train directly from our personal dock was great, appreciated having the boat and kayaks on site with life preservers. Location has great proximity to the offerings of Munising and the Pictures Rocks.

Perfect private location

Stayed here for 2 nights. 2 families with preteen boys to explore the Pictured Rocks area. The house was clean & in a great location to Munising. Right off the road but had a private back deck with no neighbors that you could see. The boys enjoyed fishing off the dock and in the rowboat and caught numerous small perch and a pike right from the dock.

The house was in a wonderful location. Centrally located between Marquette and Munising. We visited Pictured Rocks, which were amazing. My families favorite places were actually smaller locations not far from the house. My teens favorite spots were Au Train Falls and Laughing Whitefish and Whitefish Falls. They loved these spots. They were very quiet. We were the only ones at Au Train Falls and Whitefish Falls. We ventured to Marquette and Presque Isle where the kids jumped off the cliffs of black rocks. The location of the house, right on the lake was perfect. We loved sitting in the evening on the dock and kayaking.

house is located on a very quiet lake

nice home located on a very quiet lake, 2 bedrooms downstairs 1 upstairs which makes it great for multiple families. Kitchen is a bit small but has everything you need for a vacation, the 2 floor deck is beautiful. The house has a fire pit and a gas grill. Also has baby gates so it is very kid friendly.

Sunrise Special

What a great property to watch the sunrise over the trees and the lake with the beautiful fall colors. Plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy the views. Multi level deck to drink your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. This house is a no brainer if you are into the beauty of the outdoors!

Great snowmobiling location.

House was very clean. Plenty of beds, although the north set of bunkbeds is very wobbly. Nice hot showers, upstairs shower valve=hot & cold is backwards, but worked ok. Located less than 1/4 mile from snowmobile trail #8.

Lovely home, great birding

Wonderful property, the house was well stocked with everything we needed for a great stay. Due to Covid we cooked all our meals at the house. The house is a short drive to Valley Spur for great cross country skiing and not far from Eben Ice caves. Most mornings an eagle perched near the window and a pileated woodpecker worked on a near by tree.

Nice house with a great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Forest Lake House on a snowmobiling trip. The driveway had enough room for a couple of trucks and a long trailer. The house was compact but had everything that we needed. The view from the living area was beautiful and the second living area in the basement provided plenty of space to relax. It looks like this would be a great place in the summer too as it has multiple decks that make their way down to the river. This property had very easy access to the snowmobile trails via the side of the road for 0.4 miles to trail 8.
