BEDROOMS: 6
BATHROOMS: 3

This home is centrally located in a small community, just outside of Munising (Pictured Rocks) with a store & gas station all within an easy stroll from the house. The Au Train Beach dunes are just across M-28, also an easy walk or quick ride.
The ease of getting to the ATV and snowmobile trails with quick access to Trail 417 is ideal. This Au Train area averages 152 inches of snow per year! Bring your active friends and family, yet please be respectful of excessive noise since there are neighbors in close proximity. There is parking for up to 8 cars, with room for 4 trailers.
The Lodge provides a phenomenal space for ease of sleeping, cooking and entertainment. It is well-equipped with your basic meal prep needs. There are plenty of sleeping options within the 6 bedrooms.
On top of it all, the game room can easily keep you entertained with foosball, indoor basketball and even a poker table. Let the fun begin!
Wrap up your day with a relaxing campfire as you share your stories after a day of swimming, riding and/or sledding. Being bored isn't an option here at Park Avenue Lodge!
Let the fun times roll! Connecting with family and friends can feel effervescent. While you may not collect $200 each time you pass Go, the adventure and games here at Park Avenue Lodge surely will surpass your traditional Monopoly experience.

Nice place. Lots space and privacy.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Wow!!!! From the second we walked in to the second we left we enjoyed every minute. The younger adults ran around claiming their room for our stay. The adults all had 1st floor rooms. Extremely clean. So much space to all sit in different areas. Us ladies read our books on the front porch and the 3 season porch. The beach is beautiful. A little further than we thought along with crossing the highway was a tad of a bummer but still worth it. The cute little coffee, pizza, ice cream store is very nice. Highly recommend. * add to note we were a last minute book as to our surprise our original abb overbooked us. It was a blessing in disguise as this house was much bigger and beautiful inside.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We had a wonderful time. Spent time at the beach, fishing, hiking, shopping, eating! The rental allowed us ample space for our extended family (10 adults 1 child)and we had everything we needed for meal preps including a gas grill. We loved sitting around the fire ring. The little local grocery has everything you need in a pinch. We were close to so many activities and really enjoyed the pictures rocks boat tour.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2022
Jason came over promptly for a small problem we were having and was very polite and kind. The game room upstairs was cool too!
The house could have been better cleaned. Mold in the full bathrooms on the walls and very dirty shower curtains. The upstairs bathroom had a big mold stop and you are just looking at it the entire time you're showing and the shower is tinny too. At the time of this review there are no pictures of the inside of the showers on the vrbo site and that should have been an indicator that something was not right. The pots were dirty in kitchen under the cabinet.
This is from my friends:
Rips in leather couch was covered up.
Refrigerator was dirty and had to be cleaned.
Lights not working in kitchen.
Light fixture in upstairs bathroom falling out of ceiling.
Mold on shower curtains and in shower area.
There was no instructions for cleaning up in the listing and we payed a lot in cleaning fees. So we took out the trash loaded up the dish washer and left promptly.
If these things are addressed then this will be a top notch place enjoy while staying in the UP.
