AuTrain Lake Sunrise Cabin w/Dock, private lakeside firepit. Near Pictured Rocks
This Cabin is nestled on the southeast shore of AuTrain Lake with it's own dock and deck overlooking the lake. It is a short drive to the Beach on Lake Superior and the AuTrain River (3 miles). This is a great location for spending time on the lake, or as a home base for all of the local attractions this area has to offer. Within 20 minutes you are in Munising where you can do the Pictured Rocks cruise, Shipwreck Tour or Kayak tour and many more. Munising is the start of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and there's days worth of activities there and the surrounding area. See over a dozen waterfalls all within 30 minutes from the Cabin.
The cabin is exactly what you would expect if you are looking to stay in an original UP cabin on the lake. As you enter, you'll see the original custom woodwork from when it was built in the 50's. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking meals for up to 8 guests. As you walk past, you'll enter the main living area that has seating for 8 and a nice big TV with WiFi and Netflix for streaming. Located along the North wall there are the 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a queen bedroom, a double bedroom and the third bedroom has bunks with 4 twin beds for a total capacity of 8. The East wall opens to the deck that overlooks the lake. There's seating on the deck to enjoy the amazing sunrises over the lake, or take a chair out to sit on the dock. Feel free to bring your boat, there's a public boat launch 3 miles down the road and dock it right at the cabin. There's room for your boat trailer on the property. There is a gas grill big enough to cook meals for everyone and a nice fire pit area right next to the water. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the UP next to the lake with a fire, outdoors, each other and the stars.....

Property and location were excellent. We enjoyed our stay at the property and the beautiful area of the Upper Penninsula and Lake Superior. We would stay there again for sure.
Wonderful property, with an adorable quaint little cabin kept in very good condition! Served all our needs, a dock to fish from, sandy beach for the kids to swim a nice deck to watch the sunrise and have dinner and plenty spacious inside for 8 people. Great location, lots of waterfalls nearby and within a half hour of marquette which offers plenty of activities. 10/10 would reccomed if youre planning a trip to this location.
We loved staying at this cozy cabin! The lake and property were amazing and peaceful. Overall, the cabin was immaculate and just what we needed after a couple of outdoor hiking and sightseeing days. We'd love to return to enjoy more of the lake and river.

Hi John and thank you for your review, we hope to have you back with us, there is so much to see here in Da UP. We're glad you enjoyed your time here!
The Sunrise Cabin was perfect for us to unwind and relax. The beatuful sunrise woke me up in the morning and got my day started off perfectly each day.
This cabin was perfect for us to stay at for a relaxing vacation in the UP. Half hour drive to pictured rocks for our day hikes and the beautiful Au Train river is right down the road to rent a kayak and enjoy a beautiful paddle down the river. Cabin has a nice beach right out the back door and the view is amazing.
The cabin was exactly as described and perfect for our family with 2 adults, 3 teens, and 2 children. The private beach area was amazing for the kids to play, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and the location is perfect if you are looking for a place to get away from busy life! Communication was great before and during our stay when I had questions. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
The cabin was very clean with a great view of a small lake. The patio was awesome we had a cookout one evening. Neighbors are very friendly and the property owner brought us more blankets!
Thanks!

Hi Airis you're very welcome! I'm glad you got to enjoy our amenities and had a good time here in Da Yoop! We sure hope to see you again soon.
We had a great time staying at this cabin. It was an easy location with short travel (<1hr) to Marquette or Munising. The private firepit and swing added a nice touch for relaxing at night after adventures during the day. Au Train lake provides beautiful views. The Sunrise cabin had all the amenities we needed during our stay. We would come back to stay here again for another trip to the Upper Peninsula
Excellent gateway for UP adventures- short distance to kayak and canoe rentals, beach at the Superior and wonderful food spots (try the pasties!). Cabin itself has a nicely equipped kitchen, spacious living area, outdoors sitting with swing, gas grill and fire pit. Loved the skylights.
2 couples, 4 kids, and a small dog equal a fantastic weekend!!! We rented a pontoon from a local place on the lake and played on the lake all day. The cottage is adorable, and stocked with everything you should need. Nice deck, outside swing, and a great fire pit!! We all had a great weekend relaxing in our happy place ;-)

Thank you Tracy! So glad you had a great experience with such good company, doesn't get better than that. Hope you visit us again soon!
Close to Munising, pictured rocks, so many waterfalls and hiking trails. Well stocked kitchen, nice beds. Only little inconvenience is there is no central air. Had a HUGE AC unit though that kept it cool but bedrooms a little stuffy at night. BUT multiple box fans at cabin for use to help circulate cool air. Perfect spot for adventure during the day and chilling on your own beach in the evenings.
Plenty of room inside and out for a large group. All the cooking and dining ware you could possibly need - even a large group. Plenty of space for a family to eat inside or out, popcorn and a movie, play games. Pretty inland lake just minutes from Lake Superior. Earlier review prompted us to leave fishing gear at home. Mistake — stand on the dock and cast out a ways. Didn’t see anything big get reeled in, but saw some kids having a good time fishing from the dock. The bathroom is very small, but toilet/sink/shower all seem fully strong - hot and cold excellent. Bull frog serenades await you.
Haven’t been able to go on vacation with my husband and son because we have three needy dogs. This place was perfect for the whole family!! Although it was too cold to swim, we kayaked and fished quite a bit. The swing in front of the bonfire was my favorite place all weekend. We did make it to see some of the local waterfalls and beaches that were dog friendly but it was hard to venture out with a perfect spot like this. We brought food to make, instead of going out to eat at restaurants because of the dogs. This cabin had all the essential kitchen tools, utensils, plates, cups, pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, and more, all clean and in good condition!! The host was awesome, very responsive!! Clear directions on what to do, a thorough guide of things to do nearby, and had a lot of what I would consider “extras” for guest use. We hope to make this an annual trip, hopefully with a fishing boat next year!!

Could have been great
Look I'm not one to write reviews, but I thought I should let the management company know they can do better. We got there and found no key like described. We had no hot water the TV would not show anything and they left us with a half a roll of toilet paper . Plus we had to sweep up someone else's dog hair. Now having said all that when I contacted the manager he got people on it. But we couldn't leave unless we packed all our stuff back up we didn't want to leave the place open and just leave we had rented a pontoon and wanted to use it. So we waited for the maintenance person to bring a key and turn the gas on to light the hot water heater. Wouldn't have been a big deal about the toilet paper but they advertised it as a staple so we didn't bring any, not cool. The dog was not that big of a deal we brought a dog so we know they shed. I say all this could have been avoided if someone did a walk through before we showed up at the very least.
My wife and I loved this cabin & the location! Perfect honeymoon retreat!
Very spacious cabin, right on the water with a private dock was the perfect honeymoon get away! Beautiful sunrises & sunsets everyday. Neptune & the milkyway was amazing every night. We even experienced a glimpse of the northern lights. This was my wife's first time in the UP. Being from Florida, she was in awe. Centrally located and beautiful scenic routes for our drives to Munising, Marquette, Paradise and Witch Lake. We can't wait for our next visit to the UP and will definitely stay here again.
The location of this property was so much better than we had even expected! A fire pit right on a private lake beach with a swing and glider made the evenings so relaxing. Meanwhile inside the cabin was cozy and fully stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. We loved our stay!!
Clean, well supplied cabin on the lake near everything
It's a simple comfortable cabin on the lake. It has everything you need, lake is good for fishing, it was close to everything we wanted to do, the manager is easily accessible if you need anything and we enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Cory Cole
Plain and simply, I am a Yooper. I live locally year round and am a wealth of knowledge when it comes to exploring our area. I graduated high school and college here and I am an avid outdoors-man, I camp, hike, bike, kayak, ski, snowshoe, ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile and Jeep nearly the entire U.P. and if you have heard of it, chances are I've been there, or done that. I also know some places 'slightly off the radar' if you are looking to get away from the tourist areas. Just ask, I'll be happy to give you advice.
Why they chose this property
I manage this property for my friends Jr. and Susie. They live in Ohio and have owned the cabin next to this one for many years. They are avid outdoor enthusiasts and explore the area every time they visit. They were excited when the property became available for purchase. They now own a nice slice of heaven here in the UP and they are excited to offer this cabin to guests to enjoy just as they do. Myself, I own/manage 13 other properties here in AuTrain and have done so since 2009. Since that time, I have been providing people a great place to stay, and the best opportunity to enjoy our beautiful area.
What makes this property unique
It is on the shores of AuTrain Lake. 3 miles away is one of the best beaches in all of Michigan, and 15 minutes away is Pictured Rocks, dozens of waterfalls, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, biking trails and ATV/snowmobiling trails.
