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.

Great space. Not as clean as I’d like…
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.

Perfect, cozy and comfortable
We (myself and two small children) have rented a handful of cabins and this is the first one that didn't give one kid or the other a scary vibe. Everything was great and we hope to come back during warmer, calmer weather so we can visit Pictured Rocks. The check-out rules are also incredibly simple: basically, just tidy up and take the garbage to the dumpster. If you're coming from the lower peninsula, I highly recommend taking the rt 123 route and stopping at Tahquamenon Falls, which only adds an hour to your driving time. If you're going rock hunting around Two Hearted River/Crisp Point, learn about two-track roads and ***avoid them like the plague*** unless you're entirely confident in your 4x4 vehicle. We got stuck on one next to the "airport" at Mouth of Two Hearted River and we're lucky to have had cell service to connect to 911 and the tow company. (Even the locals were surprised.) If we hadn't, we'd probably still be stuck there. You can get direct, easy access to rocks at Grand Marais, which is only an hour away from the cabin. Just take 28-> the literal end of 77 to avoid dirt roads. Falling Rock cafe & bookstore in Munising has great food an a little indoor play area for kids, as well as books and games.

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.

Cute River Cabin
The cabin sits right on the Au Train River and we got to watch kayaks and canoes float by. The cabin had great beds, large tv and a wonderful electric fireplace.

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.

Not what we expected
We knew this was an older property, but didn't realize there would be conduit on the outside of walls (wasn't pictured). Upon arrival, we stepped out of our vehicle and into dog poop. When we walked in, the kitchen table wasn't wiped off. A few other unexpected things were broken furniture and uncomfortable beds. It's not a fact, but we think we heard mice in the walls in the night. Good chance it was true though because there was a trap in the closet. I'd say it sleeps 6, not 8 unless you can fit into a very small space in the loft.Thankful soap and towels were provided. Due to weather and uncomfortable beds, we checked out a night early... we had our bucket list completed.

Old Time Cottage Charm
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.

Great stay
Owner was quick at responding to messages. The place was in a great location. I went with family and friends and we hiked pictured rock National lakeshore. There were many amenities and came fully stocked with everything you need. Will stay here again.
