Right on the river and close to Lake Superior

Warm inviting cabin located in Au Train, Michigan. Look out your window and watch the gentle river flow, or better yet, sit on the large covered porch. Either way, you won't be farther than 50 feet from the water. If you're looking for adventure, this area has it all. Hiking biking, ATV's, snowmobile trails right down the road. But this river is known for its kayak and canoeing. It stretches nearly 7 miles, yet you end up 0.5 miles from where you started. Fish in the river or head up to Au Train lake. The lake is great for water sports, bird watching or swimming with a sand beach and campground. The sandy shores of Lake Superior are only 1 mile away. Located between Munising and Marquette, Au Train is the perfect place to settle down and enjoy all the U.P. has to offer. Firewood is available for purchase onsite

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player and Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Snowmobile Trip

More upgrades than advertised. Plenty of room. Parking tight for a full size truck and 4 sled trailer, overflow parking available but not aware until after we were settled. Cabin marking gone from the main sign so difficult to find at first but easy to get to after we knew where we were going. If snowmobiling you have to ride the road to get to the trail system. Host attentive and accommodating.

Photos need updating

Very clean, was happy to find a king size bed rather than a full as stated in the listing. Kitchen was well stocked. Number of beds great for families or groups with kids. Thank you for being dog friendly. Gave four for cleanliness due to the unfinished drywall patch in the bathroom where the door was moved, apparently over a year ago based on other's reviews. The newly installed barn door slides open about four inches after being 'closed'... luckily it faces the hallway, not the living room. House faces east and we found it to be quite dark inside in the afternoon and evening. Listing photos could be updated to show current condition of fire pit area (no Adirondack chairs, picnic table ten feet away instead), dining area (kitchen chairs replaced by banquet chairs), living room (different sectional, recliner added, no floor lamp), and bathroom (see above). All in all, stay was just ok, not as nice as we expected based on listing photos.

Great cabin in a lovely location!

We had a short two night stay at this property, and loved it! The house is located near several other rental cabins, and despite the fact that most were occupied at the time, the whole area was super quiet. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the riverfront access, but it would definitely be an added bonus for those looking to kayak/canoe in the area. The house is spacious and comfy--it truly felt like a home instead of a rental. The living room furniture and beds are super comfy. The kitchen had everything you could need and more. We didn't have phone service in the area, but the home's Wifi was fast and efficient. The home serves as a fantastic base for travel to the cute nearby town of Munising (highly recommend the Pictured Rocks Cruise, by the way) and Au Train Beach is literally less than five minutes away. The host was super responsive and kind, and extremely helpful. If you are looking to get away from it all in the UP, this is the place to book!

Picked a Perfect Spot

Our summer vacation started off late and we had limited options until we found this spot which was perfect. For a family that is active, this location has everything needed from access to beaches, swimming, kayaking, fishing or just exploring - the perfect spot to put down a base camp. The owners are attentive and communicate quickly. They are very open to answering questions and the check-in/out process was seamless. Honestly, just a great location that is a bit rugged but quiet at night. We were able to cook some meals and the kitchen is fully stocked to be able to have a decent meal. All in all, if we return back to the area, we would definitely see about it's availabilty.

The property was much closer to other properties than expected. Enjoyed the time but didn’t feel as secluded as hoped. No curtains over the main entrance door so hung a towel. My friend left her Apple Watch and efforts to contact the owner have gone unanswered so am currently disappointed.
