This large historic lake cottage was first built as a boathouse and fishing lodge around 1900. It sits right on the lake on a large piece of property in the middle of the historic East shore, comfortably sleeping 13 people with our 5 bedrooms. There are 2 large dinning tables accommodating up to 20, it makes a wonderful space for families or groups of friends.
Lounge on the large screened-in porch, and enjoy our huge grassy lawn for sunning and recreation. Ours is one of the few walk out flat lawns to the lake making it easy to watch and play with your children as you can access the lake from ankle deep waters. You can swim, sun, fish and play from the end of the dock in waist-high waters. We have a pontoon boat available to rent separately from the house of a boat lift we can make available for rent if you'd like to bring to bring your own. We also have water toys, floats and a kayak for your enjoyment. The lake is great for skiing and tubing, and the sailing & the eastside sunsets can't be beat!
The Culver Academies are about a 5 minute drive from our house and 7 minutes from town where you can find several wonderful restaurants, an old-fashion root beer stand and a great public beach and playground.
We are also within a 5 minute drive from the Culver marina where you can rent boats, dine in their bar or outdoor grill and shop in their awesome apparel and lake sport shops.

There is also a new cottage that shares the property and pier, and it is available for rent and sleeps 6- 8 (see Ball Family Cottage (559346) Culver listings). You might want to rent both for an even larger gathering!

    Lovely home with great historic appeal and charm. Comfortable and spacious to accommodate large group and lots of outdoor space to enjoy the lake and the property. Lake Max is beautiful to explore with trail and Culver is easy to navigate with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Our host was easy to contact and very helpful and accomodating so could not have asked for a better situation.

    Loved our stay at this vintage home! It was able to accommodate a large number of people. It was so relaxing and fun. It reminded me of how the cottages used to be on the lake when I was a child.

    We loved our time at this wonderful house! The rooms were lovely, the history so evident in the house was fascinating, and the beautiful location on the lake was superb. Our guests were gobsmacked by the charm. Janet was as great a host as we’ve ever had. And we rented the pontoon boat - which made the weekend extra special for us. We highly recommend the Aubenaubee Lodge!

    Aubenaubee Lodge was perfect for our family visit. The owner, Janet, was great at communicating with us and made us feel very comfortable staying at her house. She even reached out to us when there was severe weather to make sure everything was in order. We found all of the rooms fit our needs perfectly. Everything was clean and orderly, and gave the feel a being at home at the lake. We also had use of the pontoon boat that was so convenient for use on the lake. We look forward to visiting Culver again and Aubenaubee Lodge will be our top choice. We can't thank Janet enough for sharing her property..

    This was our second time staying in this home, and we enjoyed it so much, again. My mother grew up on Lake Maxinkuckee and my parents were married in Culver, so it was a beautiful place to celebrate their 60th anniversary with the whole family. We love how this house sits right at the water level, so there are not a bunch of stairs to navigate to get to the dock. We also rented the pontoon boat that was available. Unfortunately we had a windy week and were only able to use it a few times, but it was fun when we did. The family enjoyed the lake and the home. We had everything we needed.
