da Big House, 2 blocks from Lake Superior, near Pictured Rocks, Trail Access.

This property is located in the town of AuTrain and is only 15 minutes from Pictured Rocks. Take a 5 minute walk to AuTrain Beach and enjoy the river or Lake Superior, or to just catch the sunset. The AuTrain River empties into the Lake providing early season swimming. This house was stripped down to the studs and completely remodeled top to bottom inside in 2019. Space is plentiful for large groups of families. With accommodations for up to 12, this house is a great place for people to get together and enjoy the area. The property has a 6' privacy fence enclosing the entire back yard. There is a really nice campfire area setup to enjoy the outdoors and relax after a long day of exploring. There are 5 bedrooms with (2) king's, (2) queens and one (1) full bunk. There is a futon in the lower level for additional sleeping. Amenities include a washer/dryer, dishwasher, fully stocked kitchen with equipment to cook for 12 guests. All bedding, linens, towels, paper towel and toilet paper is supplied. If this place doesn't have it, we will get it for you. There is WiFi, three TV's, a large gas grill, and a free canoe/kayak rental is included. (discounts for additional canoe/kayaks is available) The garage is available for your use as well.

Great place!

Our group of seniors enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home. We were close to our trip on a Picture Rocks boat tour and know there were many more experiences available, but didn't have the time to experience them! Would recommend the facility for a group of family or friends.

We had a lovely stay. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The only thing that would have made it better is upgraded internet.

Nice stay

Everything was clean and pleasant, but would have been much better to have footstools, or even one large footstool so people can put their feet up after a long day. The beds were very comfortable, also.

6 adults and 4 pups- best vacation ever

The property was perfect for 3 adult couples with dogs. The backyard was fantastic with a fenced in yard for the pups to chase each other and spacious enough for yard games. The location is fantastic, just walk 5 minutes down the street right to the beaches. The interior is stunning, don’t let the modest exterior fool you, this place is absolute gem.

Da Big House Perfection

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at Cory's "Da Big House" and we will be staying again! This home has everything we need for a sledding trip to the UP. Close to the trails, plenty of parking, nice beds, and space for everyone. Cory is a great communicator and as usual, extremely helpful! Book it!

We had a great time at Da Big House. We had 11 in our group. It’s a beautiful part of the the country. The house was great, and the Au Train beach was a great way to swim in Lake Superior but with warmer water.

The pictures of this cabin do not do it justice. It was so clean, and cozy but with a modern feel. The location is 10/10. We didn’t have enough time during our stay to do everything we wanted to do near this cabin. We will be renting this cabin again!
