About this property

Cottage #8 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks, Waterfalls

Conveniently located in the heart of the upper peninsula just minutes from Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior, dozens of waterfalls and endless outdoor activities and adventures. AuTrain River Cottages are located in a private association that is quiet and beautiful. There is about a 100 yards of river frontage to enjoy and relax next to. Cottages are pet friendly and range from one bedroom to 3 bedrooms and can accommodate from one to 8 guests. Each Cottage has all amenities included like WiFi, towels, linens, blankets, pillows and cooking supplies. There is a fire-pit area for guests to enjoy a fire w/a view of the river and wood can be purchased locally.Also included is a gas grill w/propane, and one free standard kayak rental from Da Ya Shak. Launching of the canoe is on site and shuttle service is available. Additional kayaks are available for rent. This Cottage, "DA Loft" is very old, it is a mixture of old log and pine interior with a new "old style" pine floor throughout. It is an open concept with cathedral ceiling and a nice sized loft. There is plenty of space and it easily accommodates 2-8 guests. This cottage is generally the most favored due to it's size and character. The front porch is big and it overlooks the river and has the best view of them all. There is a 43" HDTV w/Netflix streaming and WiFi along with plenty of seating in the living room area. There is a nice expandable dining table "circa 1950's" that will seat everyone staying. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking meals. There are 2 queen beds and 2 double size beds in the cabin. Two full bathrooms, both with showers are available as well. There is a nice grill outside on the deck overlooking the river.

The AuTrain River provides excellent swimming, and canoeing/kayaking as it winds 12 miles through the Hiawatha National Forest. Further down river puts you into Lake Superior and quite possibly the best beach on all of Lake Superior. Up river is the beautiful AuTrain Lake which provides a wonderful place to enjoy water sports, fishing or just a relaxing cruise. Bass, Walleye or Pike are your most commonly fished.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore located in Munising is only 15 minutes away and there are over a dozen waterfalls within a 30 mile radius. The National Lakeshore provides days worth of outdoor activities. If you are into fishing, Trout and Salmon are the most commonly fished in Lake Superior.

I have seen nearly everything in this area and am a great resource during your stay. I will meet with you after you arrive and give you advice about the area and things you can enjoy during your vacation.

This rustic cabin comfortably slept 5 adults. The place was spotless, and the kitchen and bathrooms were updated. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms for us to use. The overall vibe was old-fashioned and relaxing, and the river outside the front door was wonderful!

Great cabin right on the river. Quiet neighborhood and perfect location for Lake Superior beach access with a 15 minute drive to Munising and only 40 mins to Marquette. Cabin is clean, with comfortable large beds, 2 bathrooms, and all the kitchen essentials you need. Grill works great too!

Loved the rustic cottage and peaceful river just out front. Cottage quite clean but I was surprised to find that someone had put some plates away dirty so I washed all the dishes we used before using. Otherwise a very enjoyable place to be.

Awesome Cabin

We stayed here several nights. It was easy to get to. The cabin was fully furnished. Right on the river. Centrally located to what we were visiting in the area. Host was quick to respond. It is a rustic area and the cabin felt rustic as well. We couldn’t beat the view! Would return, for sure!

Cozy cabin

We had a very good stay at this cabin which we thought was a very good value for the price. The second bathroom was great for four adults on vacation. The location was very handy for activities in Munising and Marquette.

The location was great but the interior of the cabin was very old especially the kitchen. Inside cleanliness was okay but the exterior was moldy and gross. When we pulled up I was very concerned about what the inside would be like. There were no plates and the rest of the kitchen was very poorly stocked.

The location along the River is charming with a long porch to sit on and enjoy the view. The cabin was okay with well equipped kitchen. Furniture is old and worn out and could use some upgrades.

Cabin on Au Train River

Smooth process booking. Good communication from owner. Cabin on River as described. Traveling with a dog, and she loved the river access! It was chilly the first day, but the electric fireplace warm the cabin quickly. By day 3 needed air conditioning, and that was fine. Would book again.

Nice Cabin

Very nice location. Nice atmosphere and cabin like experience. One bed downstairs was very nice and one upstairs was also. The other 2 beds need upgrades but would work for kids. Some furniture upgrades would be nice too. But we would stay again if we ever went up that way.

Vrbo picture is inaccurate

Clean, older cabin. The picture shows a simple white sided cabin. It does not show the cabin 6 feet to the side, with all kinds of stuff in the the yard. Also, the area has some nice smaller cabins, and some pretty run down cabins. Inside, just fine, outside, not so nice

CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK

Not only was the cottage beautiful, it had everything we needed. I didn't have to worry about packing anything except clothes and food...it truly was a home away from home. The river is beautiful and peaceful, and the location was perfect. Although it is around other cottages, it still feels secluded, but with easy access to more activities than you could possibly squeeze into one trip. Best of all, the owner, Cory, was responsive, accommodating, and kind. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in / around Munising and actually am looking into a return visit for this fall!

Very convenient 2 bathrooms. Good price. I wish it was a little cleaner. Nice to be right on the river. Great spot between Munising and Marquette. Furniture was very dated. That being said, if I knew the sheets were clean I’d stay again. Cory is easy to communicate with.

Location was excellent for all our group wanted to do. The cabin was in stages of upgrades. Many parts needed serious upgrades. The kitchen was not well stocked. There were virtually no cleaning supplies except for dish and hand soap. With some work this could be an ideal cabin.

Au Train Da Loft Cottage

Property was located next to Au Train River. The cottage had everything we needed. It is an open plan so you can hear others in the house but it worked out just fine with our group. Good price and It was close enough to everything we wanted to do without having to stay right in Munising. We did have an issue with the air conditioner turning on and off but worked with the property owner to get this fixed quickly. We all said we would stay in this cottage again should we come back to this area.

About the host

Hosted by Cory Cole

Host profile image
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 was a transplant to this area during high school years ago and left then came back. I couldn't stay away forever, this area is unlike any other. Sure there are beautiful places all over the country, but no matter where you are from, this place is special beyond words... This cottage is part of a private association with it's own river frontage. The property is the best on the river, it has a beautiful view, clean water with sandy bottom and plenty of space to relax. There are 10 cottages on this property (it was an old resort) I own/manage 7 of them for vacation rentals. I purchased these cottages with the intention of providing people a great place to stay, and the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful area. Overall, if someone doesn't enjoy staying here, it would be a first.

What makes this property unique

It is within 2 minutes of Lake Superior, one of the best beaches in all of Michigan, 15 minutes from Munising and the Pictured Rocks, dozens of waterfalls, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, biking trails and ATV/snowmobiling trails.(all available right from the cottage doorstep). AuTrain lake is accessible by boat right from the cottages and has tons of recreational opportunities.
