Forest Lake House – Relax, Explore & Make Memories in AuTrain, Michigan

Escape to the peaceful beauty of Forest Lake House, a spacious lakefront retreat nestled on the shores of AuTrain Lake in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Perfect for families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts, this inviting home offers the ideal balance of comfort, relaxation, and adventure—just 10 minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and the sandy beaches of Lake Superior.<br>
Designed with families and groups in mind, the home features a fully equipped kitchen, two comfortable living areas with Roku Smart TVs, and two full bathrooms—one on each level. Sleeping arrangements include a queen bedroom upstairs, a queen bed and four twin beds downstairs (one bunk bed and one trundle), plus a convenient pull-out sofa upstairs, providing plenty of space for everyone to unwind after a day of exploring.

Step outside onto the multi-level deck overlooking AuTrain Lake, where you can sip your morning coffee while taking in peaceful woodland views or grill your favorite meal as the sun sets over the water. In the evening, gather around the fire pit, roast marshmallows, share stories, and create unforgettable memories under the stars. 3 Kayaks available for guests to use.

Adventure is right outside your door! Spend your days swimming, kayaking, boating, or fishing from the private dock, or launch your boat from the public boat launch located less than a mile away. Snowmobilers and ATV riders will love being less than a mile from the trail system, making this home a perfect year-round destination.

Please Note: Water levels in the channel connecting the property to AuTrain Lake fluctuate throughout the season, which may affect dock access for boats.

    Very nice, clean and well maintained house with great views, especially from the dock. This was my second stay here and again I was very satisfied with everything.

    The house was in a wonderful location. Centrally located between Marquette and Munising. We visited Pictured Rocks, which were amazing. My families favorite places were actually smaller locations not far from the house. My teens favorite spots were Au Train Falls and Laughing Whitefish and Whitefish Falls. They loved these spots. They were very quiet. We were the only ones at Au Train Falls and Whitefish Falls. We ventured to Marquette and Presque Isle where the kids jumped off the cliffs of black rocks. The location of the house, right on the lake was perfect. We loved sitting in the evening on the dock and kayaking.

    Stayed here for 2 nights. 2 families with preteen boys to explore the Pictured Rocks area. The house was clean & in a great location to Munising. Right off the road but had a private back deck with no neighbors that you could see. The boys enjoyed fishing off the dock and in the rowboat and caught numerous small perch and a pike right from the dock.

    This was our first time venturing into the UP. We loved the lakefront property. Access to Lake Au Train directly from our personal dock was great, appreciated having the boat and kayaks on site with life preservers. Location has great proximity to the offerings of Munising and the Pictures Rocks.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Forest Lake House on a snowmobiling trip. The driveway had enough room for a couple of trucks and a long trailer. The house was compact but had everything that we needed. The view from the living area was beautiful and the second living area in the basement provided plenty of space to relax. It looks like this would be a great place in the summer too as it has multiple decks that make their way down to the river. This property had very easy access to the snowmobile trails via the side of the road for 0.4 miles to trail 8.
