About this property

Lake Superior Vacation Home near Pictured Rocks view of AuTrain and Grand Island

Make your Lake Superior experience memorable. As you walk to the front door you will be greeted by a view of the lake. Opening the front door invites you to the wall of windows overlooking the lake, AuTrain Island, and Grand Island. Complementary snacks will be awaiting you after your day of travel. With over 3,000 square feet of space, this home offers intimate spaces yet also accommodates up to 14 guests. The fully stocked kitchen and living space overlooks the lake and has plenty of seating for everyone. WiFi is included and each room has a smart TV with internet streaming services.

Three separate suites await you. The main floor suite, the Sunrise Suite, has an attached bath that includes a shower, 2 sinks and a walk-in closet. The cozy bedroom boasts a king-sized bed on a hickory log frame and pine flooring from the local Trenary mill. It offers AMAZING views of the sun rising over the lake. There is also an attached 3-season porch perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine.

The second suite, the Eagle’s Nest is located upstairs. It has 3 skylights offering lots of natural light, and overlooks the great room and the lake. The queen bed frame was made by a local artisan. It has an adjacent bath with both a tub and shower. Just past the bath is a log bunk and futon, as well as the loft living area (futon is comparable in size to a double bed and the top bunk is a twin size bed), including an attached deck with a bistro table and chairs - another amazing place to begin or end your day!

The third suite, the Bear’s Lair is located downstairs in the basement. It offers a cozy, rustic feel, with a king sized bed on a bed platform made from local cedar rounds. It has an attached bath that includes a shower and double sinks. The bedroom also attaches via a barn door to the lower level living space that includes a double bunk bed, and a foosball table.

Last but certainly not least, the large back deck, accessed both from the living room and the Sunrise Suite porch, is only 25 feet from the water. and overlooks one of the two fire pits. A picture perfect place to hang out and enjoy the scenery and the good company.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore begins in Munising, which is only a 15 minute drive from this home, and there are over a dozen waterfalls within a 30 mile radius. The National Lakeshore, as well as the Hiawatha National Forest provide days of outdoor activities and adventures. Hiking, picnicking, ATVing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, camping, mountain biking, and fishing are all at your fingertips. In the winter, snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing, snow shoeing, and ice climbing are all available. Nearby AuTrain Lake and the AuTrain River provide wonderful opportunities for swimming, water sports, fishing, or a relaxing paddle. If you are into fishing, bass, walleye, and pike are most commonly fished in AuTrain Lake, and trout and salmon are most commonly fished in Lake Superior. Kayak rentals and guided tours are available locally, as are pontoon boat rentals, boat tours, charter fishing trips, and ATV rentals. If you have your own equipment feel free to bring it as there is plenty of room at this home to park your boat, trailer or whatever you bring.

Fantastic!

Property is absolutely gorgeous. House is clean and had plenty of space for the six of us. The location is quiet and private. The outdoor space is fantastic for hanging out. We rented ATVs and were able to follow the trails back to the house. The house is also conveniently located to Pictured Rocks and all the beautiful surrounding towns.

Beautiful house with a gorgeous Lake Superior view!

What an awesome place! The house was beautiful, comfortable, and very well-equipped, and there was also a large firepit that we sat around every night, relaxing by the fire, enjoying the view, and making s’mores. The property is close to many fun attractions and great restaurants in Munising and Marquette, and the whole area is so beautiful with many trails and waterfalls to explore. Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Wonderful location with amazing views

This house was the perfect place to spend our first trip to Lake Superior! There was plenty of room for our group of nine. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. And what can i say about the views. They were amazing! The sunrise over the lake was incredible and the sunset was beautiful too! It was a wonderful way to relax and spend time with family.

Superior Sunrise

This is the best place we have stayed at in the UP and top 5 of all time. The views are spectacular, as you look north upon 10% of the world's fresh water you will be struck by the best sunrise you have ever seen. The bedrooms are very nice up stairs has its own deck. Kitchen and dinning room are excellent for large groups. It has a nice garage that you can use. Munising is 15 minutes away, grocery store is good, restaurants are there. Pictured rocks is a little past Munising plan on spending time there it is amazing. Thanks to all we will be back.

Return to the UP

We loved our stay in this home!! 9 adults and one infant had plenty of space in this well appointed house in the perfect location. Paddles from the backyard, fires in the evening and the most beautiful sunrises for the early birds. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the kitchen is especially well stocked with anything you could want/need. It’s also the little things that made this house so special, dog bowls for our pups that traveled with us, USB charging towers on each side of the beds are just a couple of things that impressed. This has been the perfect place for our family to get back to the area where we spent many summers. We will definitely be back!!

It's the View!

The view of Lake Superior is amazing! The sunrise is magical! Five almost life-long friends spent 4 nights in Superior Sunrise. The sleeping accommodations & bathrooms worked perfectly for us. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to prepare breakfast & dinner. Teri really enjoyed the sauna after spending the day hiking through the snow. Cory, the host, was very responsive to our questions. We will stay at Superior Sunrise when we return to the UP.

A Perfect Getaway with Stunning Lake Superior Views!

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful VRBO in Au Train! The view of Lake Superior is absolutely breathtaking—waking up to the stunning sunrises over the water was one of the many highlights of our trip. Every morning felt magical as we sipped on coffee and watched the sky turn an array of stunning colors before giving way to the sun dancing across the lake. The house itself is stocked with literally everything you could ever need, from kitchen essentials to entertainment options. It’s clear the hosts have thought of everything to make guests feel right at home. We were able to cook meals easily, enjoy coffee on the deck, and relax without missing a single thing. The location is fantastic—quiet and serene but still close to plenty of local attractions and amenities. Whether you’re exploring nearby hiking trails, visiting Pictured Rocks, or just relaxing by the lake, this home offers the perfect base for it all. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with a view that can’t be beat, I highly recommend staying here. We cannot wait to come back!

Excellent stay. Very comfortable home with stunning lake views and all the amenities you would need. Beautiful wooded back and side yards, perfect for dogs. Great vibe in the house. We would definitely go back and stay again!Two suggestions:1. The lake isn't accessible from the property because it is up to high, and there are large rocks - unless there is access somewhere that wasn't obvious. It would be nice to clarify this on the listing. It says 25 feet from the water, but we weren't able to get down to the water. 2. There were just enough towels for the stay, but a few extras would be nice, especially for the kitchen.

The kitchen was especially well equipped, including some seasonings and dish soap. It was super easy to cook here. The deck is also well furnished and offers a beautiful view. The house is very clean, and even the bathrooms were supplied with soap and hair products. The property manager was very responsive.A couple issues: None of the televisions worked (even after someone came to reset them on wifii) except the one in the family room. And that one is hung so high on the wall it was impossible to watch it comfortably. Written TV instructions might help, since even basic cable is not provided. We also had to move furniture for six people to sit together in the main room in an attempt to watch tv.Better lighting would have been appreciated. All the bedrooms and loft are extremely dark. Please consider buying new lamps and new lightbulbs.

This is an awesome property. It was clean. Was well thought out in providing necessities for the stay. The kitchen is stocked for everything you might need to cook, bake, and grill. The dishwasher does make cleanup after meals easier. Having the lake at the back door is great for listening to water sounds. Be sure to take time in the swing to relax. There are many local activities and adventures to be had. We would definitely stay again.

Family Vacation

Lovely property! The house and grounds were in excellent condition. It has a very secluded retreat feel to the property (can’t really see neighbors and the road is not visible from the house). Host was very responsive and fixed our only minor issue of a coffee pot that gave up during our stay. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was that we thought we would be able to walk out onto a beach from the house/firepit area but it’s actually a rock edge. There is a pebble/rock area further down the coastline and there are beaches a short drive away though! Highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Cory Cole

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Cory, 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 manage this property for my friends Tom and Lynea. They purchased it in 2016 as a vacation home/future retirement home. They always enjoyed staying in the area to sight see, kayak and just relax. They found this home and decided they would like to secure it for the future. Tom and Lynea love dogs, and understand it's hard to find places to stay that allow dogs, so they wanted to make sure this home was dog friendly. Myself, 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 best opportunity to enjoy our beautiful area.

What makes this property unique

It is on the shores of Lake Superior. 3 miles away is one of the best beaches in all of Michigan, and 15 minutes away is Pictured Rocks, dozens of waterfalls, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, biking trails and ATV/snowmobiling trails.
