About this property

Cottage #4 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior Beach, 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 4 bedrooms and can accommodate from one to 8 guests. Each Cottage has all amenities included like WiFi, towels, linens, blankets, gas grill with propane, paper towels, toilet paper, rubbish bags, hand soap, dish soap, as well as coffee filters for our regular drip coffee maker. We don't provide toiletries.

    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 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. Mooring your own boat is a possibility, contact me for details.

    The Hemlock Cottage just got a complete makeover in May 2020! It is within steps of the river, and has a very unique feel to it. When we started the remodel, we found original cedar logs behind the panelling. The cottage was originally built in the 40's using local cedar. We restored the old logs and made them a centre piece. The layout is small, but spacious for it's size and easily accommodates our guests. It is perfect for couples!! The kitchen is fully stocked and there's seating for 3 at the dining bar. There is A/C, WiFi, and a 43" TV where you can sign into your own streaming service or free streaming included with the TV. The bedroom has a nice queen pillow-top mattress. The kitchen is very spacious for such a small space. there is plenty of counter top and the old original sink from the 50's is still in use. The nice new deck outside is perfect for a relaxing view of the river and general lounging.

    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 holiday.

We liked the cottage. It had everything we needed. The price was great! It was cozy and a good place to stay with our dog. There was a little grocery store down the road for ice cream and a place to get pizza also. Only thing that didn’t work was the link with the directions. It took us way past the cottage if we had kept going. But we saw the cottage as we drove past and recognized it from the picture and decided to turn around before we went far out of the way. Not sure where those directions would have taken us.

Enjoyable Cabin on the River

We enjoyed our stay - being right by the river gave us plenty of time to fish! The cabin had just what we needed for the two of us to stay. Convenient to Munising and Lake Superior. Would love to visit during that summer and kayak the river.

Excellent U.P. Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this little cabin. The property was quiet with close proximity to a river and a few stores down the road. The cabin itself was clean and well kept with A/C, tvs, a wood burning stove, and full kitchen. Our host was quick to answer any questions we had and the check in/out process was simple. Thank you for a great stay!

Au Train cabin

Very clean and quiet! We did end up unplugging the gas stove for the stay because the burner was making a ticking noise, but overall it was a good stay. Very convenient to Lake Superior.

Perfect - Rustic and serene!

This cabin was not just clean and well maintained but was so nicely done, cute details (even the toilet paper holder, an iron pipe!) and so functional - outlets in the bedside lamps for instance. Fully stocked w everything we’d need, great host communication and the setting could not have been more perfectly beautiful - right on the river. Super convenient to go to Munising and Marquette.
