Park Avenue Lodge -15 minutes to Pictured Rocks, on ATV Trails!

PARK AVENUE LODGE

SLEEPS: 17-21 MAX

BEDROOMS: 6

BATHROOMS: 3

*LOCATED ON SNOWMOBILE/ATV TRAILS

*15 MINUTES TO PICTURED ROCKS

While Park Ave. in the game of Monopoly screams hoity-toity, we present to you the comfortable, laid-back version of Au Train's Park Avenue. This home is centrally located in a small community, just outside of Munising (Pictured Rocks) with a store & gas station all within an easy stroll from the house. The Au Train Beach dunes are just across M-28, also an easy walk or quick ride.

The ease of getting to the ATV and snowmobile trails with quick access to Trail 417 is ideal. This Au Train area averages 152 inches of snow per year! Bring your active friends and family, yet please be respectful of excessive noise since there are neighbors in close proximity. There is parking for up to 8 cars, with room for 4 trailers.

The Lodge provides a phenomenal space for ease of sleeping, cooking and entertainment. It is well-equipped with your basic meal prep needs. There are plenty of sleeping options within the 6 bedrooms.

On top of it all, the game room can easily keep you entertained with foosball, indoor basketball and even a poker table. Let the fun begin!

Wrap up your day with a relaxing campfire as you share your stories after a day of swimming, riding and/or sledding. Being bored isn't an option here at Park Avenue Lodge!

Let the fun times roll! Connecting with family and friends can feel effervescent. While you may not collect $200 each time you pass Go, the adventure and games here at Park Avenue Lodge surely will surpass your traditional Monopoly experience.

UP Winter Weekend
Even though there was not snow to x-country ski or snowshoe, we enjoyed being outdoors going the the Eben Ice Caves and Pictured Rocks Ice Cave. The house was large enough for our group to eat together and hang out in the living room or game room.

MOM'S FAMILY GATHERING
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY MOM'S PASSING THAT HER 5 ADULT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER TO HAVE A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE. THE HOUSE WAS VERY ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR GROUP VERY COMFORTABLY. THE LINEN WAS CLEAN, THE HOME LOVELY AND THE KITCHEN WAS WELL STOCKED FOR COOKING. WE WERE NOT INTERRUPTED BY NEIGHBORS OR OWNERS. OVERALL IT WAS A PLEASANT PLACE AND WE ENJOYED OUR STAY. SOMETIMES ONE HEARS HORRIBLE STORIES ABOUT RENTAL PLACES, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Wonderful stay
We had a great experience staying at Park Avenue. The house was spacious and the kitchen was equipped with a lot of cookware. We had a small issue with the refrigerator but with quick response from the team, it was all fixed. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our Retreat.
