While Park Ave. in the game of Monopoly screams hoity-toity, we present to you the comfortable, laid-back version of Au Train's Park Avenue. 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.

UP Winter Weekend
Even though there was not snow to x-country ski or snowshoe, we enjoyed being outdoors going the the Eben Ice Caves and Pictured Rocks Ice Cave. The house was large enough for our group to eat together and hang out in the living room or game room.

MOM'S FAMILY GATHERING
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY MOM'S PASSING THAT HER 5 ADULT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER TO HAVE A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE. THE HOUSE WAS VERY ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR GROUP VERY COMFORTABLY. THE LINEN WAS CLEAN, THE HOME LOVELY AND THE KITCHEN WAS WELL STOCKED FOR COOKING. WE WERE NOT INTERRUPTED BY NEIGHBORS OR OWNERS. OVERALL IT WAS A PLEASANT PLACE AND WE ENJOYED OUR STAY. SOMETIMES ONE HEARS HORRIBLE STORIES ABOUT RENTAL PLACES, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Wonderful stay
We had a great experience staying at Park Avenue. The house was spacious and the kitchen was equipped with a lot of cookware. We had a small issue with the refrigerator but with quick response from the team, it was all fixed. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our Retreat.

Future Wildcats in the Fall
As we pulled up to the home after a long drive we could not believe it. All 12 of us were in awe. The pictures do not do this Lodge justice. We got out and headed in, and the only thing I could say was wow. It was so nice and warm, clean and felt like our own home. The kids ranging in age of 9 yrs old to 22 years old ran through claiming beds, rooms, and where they were chilling at in the AWESOME game room. The 4 adults gelt at peace knowing that there was space and fun for each person with this home. It was crazy what this little trip staying in this home did. Not one time did anyone bicker lol we laughed and hiked the Munising Ice Curtain and Eben Ice Cave. We ate From the local pizza shop (excellent by the way) and had board game night by the fire. We have Already spoke of making this our anual trip! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!

Great property right on the trail. It can sleep a lot of people, which maybe leaves it a bathroom short. I'd stay again.

Very nice location and spacious house, but needs better cleaning
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.
