We had a great time staying at this property! It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the proximity to AuTrain beach and the cute grocery store and ice cream/pizza place up the street!
We had a wonderful time. We contacted owners for a special request and received a response very quickly. Great place on the Au Train river. Family loved every min.
The Reel Inn Lodge was a tranquil place to get away and enjoy peace and quite. We enjoyed the River and the location was in good vicinity of Munising and Marquette. Overall, the lodging met our needs as a family and we would entertain coming back as we were only able to scratch the surface of the UP.
This is a very well appointed and cared for property. The location is perfect for activities in any direction and it is particularly great for families needing a quality place to stay. The hosts, Matt and Holly, were great to work with and only a phone call away. A very clean and comfortable lodge with all amenities. Stay here - you won’t be disappointed!
Our 3rd time staying at this property. Perfect accommodation's for our group of 6. It has everything you need. Close proximity to trails and gas.
We'll be back!
We had an absolutely great time staying at the lodge. Room for two families - three adults, four kids. My parents stayed next door in the cabin. Location is on an off branch of the main river. 1 minute car ride, 5 minute bike ride, 30 minute canoe ride to beach. Beach is spectacular! Kids LOVED swimming in the lake and river. Property and interior were spotless. House has everything you need. Communication and check in was easy. Rental includes grill, bikes, and canoe. Kayaks were available to rent. Small grocery store, ice cream, and pasties in town 1/4 mile away. Munising 15 minute drive. Au Train falls 15 minute ride (highly recommend). Can’t say enough good things. Our group ages 8-73 all loved it!!
