UP family vacation

Location was great. Place was clean. Fortunately it was cooler the week we stayed otherwise there’s no way the AC unit in the wall would have been enough to even reach the bedrooms.

Prime location!

Very nice property for a family getaway, in a truly spectacular location. Large yard with a nice fire pit to spend outdoor time on the property, and a short walk to a beautiful beach on Lake Superior. Being located in Au Train, many great day trip opportunities also exist, or, you could stay in town and enjoy a nice float down the river to the beach on Superior.

The river runs near it

Of all the places we stayed on this trip, our grandchildren voted this as their favorite. We used it as our base as we explored the Pictured Rock lakeshore area. They loved that the river & lake were so close and loved swimming in both. Had a great time.

Stay at Woodland

The spot was perfect! The place was beautiful. We were fifteen min away from Munising which was amazing. The place had a nice and cozy feel with alot of privacy. We had under a five minute drive to beaches and had a couple grocery store/ food places near us. We had an awesome time!!

Great getaway

The mobile home is tucked away on a nice piece of property. You feel like you are in the woods even though there are other properties around and a gas station/convenience store/small grocery store at the end of the block (skip their pasties unless you like lots of onion). The fence was a bonus since we were traveling with a dog. The property is an older mobile home with old windows and thin walls, but it functioned well for our needs.
