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.

Location is easy to find and provides quick access to nearby attractions. Convenient little market nearby for forgotten items. Owners provided a comprehensive and helpful binder of information on all nearby points of interest.

Location was awesome. The house was just what we needed. We are already talking about booking it again for next year.

Great accommodations and location for a summer family vacation. Lots of room, clean, quiet and comfortable. Great location! Close to the Au Train river and across the street from Da Kayak Shop and grocery store. Walking distance to Lake Superior. We will look to stay again

Da Big House was the perfect location for our annual family vacation with my sister in law & her kids. Ample beds, less than perfect WiFi which led to many card games :), nice fire pit for s’mores, & just a great location for exploring the area. We were minutes from the splash falls/pictured rocks tour in Munising, 40 minutes from Marquette where we enjoyed the Wright Street falls and jumped off Black Rocks. Just over 2 hours from Mackinac Island. We booked the shorter Au Train River kayak excursion & then played on the beach afterwards. The house is great & I cannot stress enough that it’s in a great location to explore the area from. Bonus gas & surprisingly well stocked grocery store across the street. In addition to a pastie, pizza, sandwich, & ice cream shop just a few doors down the street.

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.

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 actually had a great time in Au Train on a planned ski weekend that was snowless. Great space for 5 adults, two teenagers and two dogs. The location was actually perfect - maybe even more convenient than right on the lakeshore. Cory took care of two minor issues we had immediately. Would stay again without question.

The kitchen was well stocked for sure. We had plenty of towels and toilette paper. When we called for additional paper products and towels they were delivered promptly. There is plenty of room for up 10 I'd say without using the futons for sleeping. There are a couple of futons but who really wants to sleep on one. The living room furniture could use an update but it was adequate. I read past complaints about the floors being dirty. Just to let you know every time you come back in the house you are bringing lots of sand with you so just sweep the floor daily. There were 6 of us, all adults, and we really enjoyed our stay at this house.

My wife and I along with some of our friends decided to go up north to see pictured rocks and the fall colors. We wanted a spacious and comfortable place to stay and this place fit our exact wants. It was so spacious comfortable with amazing amenities. The host was welcoming and responded to any inquires. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice home. My friends and I will most definitely rent this property again for future adventures!

Clean and orderly, no smells....

This property was absolutely perfect in every way! The beds were super comfy with an abundance of pillows and extra blankets.
The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and several different types of spices, along with coffee and filters.
The living and dining room/kitchen area was open-concept and great for visiting, meals, and playing games and watching TV.
The deck had a sitting area and grill and the backyard boasted a fire pit with plenty of chairs.
We rented for the Northern/Michigan Tech football game and it was awesome for some much-needed extended family time.
There are plenty of ORV trails right near the rental and the beach is a super short walk. There is a cute store with many different types of foods (fresh soups, breads, pizza, etc.) and even a deck of cards since we forgot ours right across the street.
A true UP hidden gem! We will definitely be back!

It was the perfect place to lay our heads. The place was just the right size. The owners were accommodating to our needs. The beds were so comfortable. The separation between bedrooms was ideal. It was nice to bring the pups! The different exits for dogs was nice. The only downsize was it needs a deep cleaning. It was great location and price for where/what we were there to do! Thank you

We have stayed at this property and it does not disappoint. Conveniently located for anything you may want to do, hike, golf, enjoy the beach.
Highly recommend it.

Really liked location and this place would be great for a bunch of beer drinking snowmobile riders during winter months. Had a very nice kitchen. Our issues were there were spiders and insects everywhere. Cobwebs on many ceilings and a dirty hardwood floor that left our feet covered in dog hair from previous guests. Really nice TVs, but good luck watching anything on them. There was horrible Wi-Fi and was unable to use TVs or our devices. Unless you have Verizon, forget about making phone calls. There was a leak in a lower level bedroom directly over the bed, yes that really sucked. The backyard is basically all dirt, which would be fine in the winter. I made a number of these things clear to the property manager before I left and what I got was “sorry about that.”

We really enjoyed this trip. The house was perfect for 6 of us with plenty of room. Snowmobile trails were so close to the house. Plenty of parking for three trucks and trailors. Cory was an amazing host! He allowed us parking across the street from the house at his summer buisness. This allowed for alot of room. He was super accommodating. We definitely want to go back! Johnny the cleaning guy does amazing. We walked in early and he was scrubbing the showers clean! He definitely took a lot of pride in his job and scrubbed the bathrooms and house spotless. It was really a great place to stay. You will love it if you choose this property!!! Have fun 😁

This is our second time staying here. We totally love the place! It is an ideal location. Da Big House is perfect for our needs. Gas and store are right across the street. The trail is 200 yards from the house. Cory, the property manager, is very easy to work with. We will be back in the future.

Beautiful house, close to everything. Spacious with all the needed amenities that we need. It’s nice because it’s pet friendly . We had one small issue with the sink in one of the bathroom and the owner had it fixed the same day I called. Will stay again and recommend to our friends.
