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

We had the best time during our stay! Cabin is comfortable, has every kitchen amenity you could wish for, & the free access to kayaks was a huge plus for us! All of the mattresses were super comfortable. Cindy was a great host & Poe, her dog, was the sweetest! The location can't be beat! We enjoyed kayaking the Au Train River, Brownstone Inn for dinner, Bay Furnace for rock hunting, Capt Ron's Whitefish truck in Munising is a must & Au Train Grocery has the best pasties! We hope to return next year
Cozy and very clean place, perfectly well located close to everything, Cindy was very kind and was always in communication with us for what we needed, we hope to return soon!
I cannot say enough about Cindy and her properties. We have stayed a few times now and she always makes us feel at home! From the minute we got there the kids were outside exploring everything there was to see and do! The cabin was absolutely perfect for the 8 of us and we had so much fun checking out Au Train, Marquette, Munising, Christmas, and even went through Pictured Rocks National Park to Grand Maraise! I am already planning my next trips! Cindy is an incredible host and she made sure we had everything we needed, my kids especially enjoyed playing with her grandchildren during our stay! None of us wanted to leave at the end of the week. We love Au Train and all of the wonderful friends we made there!
It was a great use of space. We split the place between 2 families and there was plenty of room. Quick and friendly response with owner. Had everything we needed and more!
Great spot to get away for our family. Plenty of room for everyone and accommodations were as pictured on site. Definitely want to stay here again just a little bit longer next time 😊
We enjoyed our stay in this nice home on the Autrain River. It was clean, spacious, decorated nicely, and quite comfortable. We would love to stay again.
This was a great place to stay with easy access to Pictured Rock, Munising, and Marquette. The river was lovely, the beach was close, and the house had plenty of room for us. I would recommend this place to anybody.
We had a nice stay! :)

We really liked the location, sitting on the porch watching the river. One of the best stocked places we have stayed, had everything we needed!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Cindy was great to work with. Will definitely come back!!!
Lots of amenities, right on the river, lots of children’s games, shampoo, conditioners, plenty of towels, plenty of blankets. You cannot beat the price for this place that sleeps 12 people!!!
This cabin was perfect for my visit to the Eben Ice Caves. The property was beautiful and so serene. Definitely will be coming back in the future!
