Cottage #7 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 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. A fishing boat w/motor are available to you on site for a discounted rate. Mooring your own boat is a possibility, contact me for details.

The Mountain Ash Cottage has tons of character. The interior is all pine and the layout is unique. I have done a lot of custom work inside this cottage to bring out that UP feel. The kitchen is fully stocked and seems to be a favorite with the high ceiling and custom tile. There is a dining table w/4 chairs in the living area, which includes a couch, loveseat and two HDTV's with streaming service and wifi. This cottage is perfect for 2-5 people but can accommodate up to 7. The main bedroom has King bed, the 2nd bedroom has a double with a twin bunk on top. There is an optional sleeping area in what I call a half bedroom which is a pretty small room that has a cot sized bunk bed. The front porch is great for relaxing while looking at the river and there are outdoor chairs for everyone. DA Loft cottage might be everyone's favorite, but this one books the most, and if you stay here, you will understand why.

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.

Good for families - other cabins are very close
The cabin was fine. Small but that was kind of expected. We didn't totally expect all the cabins very close by. So if you have a family or group of friends and want to mingle with all the neighbors and make new friends and that kind of thing, then this is great for you. We were hoping for a little space and more privacy... but it's all good ! Thanks !

Cozy place in great location
If you are people who love being outdoor, enjoy firepit time with neighbors from other cabins and ready to jump into kayak right from your house- this is your place. Nice living room with big TV, clean linens, alot of towels.Be aware that there is no door in one of the bedrooms, for our group that was not an issue and, overall, very cool unique place for that money range.

Was a great place to stay 15 min from Pictured Rocks. So much to do around there. We enjoyed the river & Bon Fire. The King size bed was very comfortable.

Rustic is an understatement
Soooo, this is a standard rustic UP cabin. No check in instructions. No one is on-site. Somehow the floors were always covered in sand, no matter how much we swept. The smart tv was a nice upgrade but the furniture, beds, floors and even doors were old and in desperate need of repair/replacement. I’m honestly flabbergasted that this place is up to code. Literally exposed wires sticking out of the wall. Yikes. When we couldn’t get the heat working the owners were quick to respond and assist.

Nice location needs work
Nice location of the cabin and some updates had been attempted. The bathroom had moldy shower curtain and the floor was in dire need of replacing. The mattress in all beds, except the bigger bedroom, were thin and uncomfortable. Cute cabin just need to update the issues noted above.

Perfect location
My Daughter and Grandchildren came with me to see the fall colors. The location was perfect. There are lots of beautiful waterfalls, hiking, and kayaking in the area. I thought the accommodations were good for the price we paid for 3 adults and 4 children. We had plenty of towels, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, pans, dishes, and utensils.
