About this property

100yr Old Log Cabin On Autrain River Near Pictured Rocks And Lake Superior

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, 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.

DA Spruce is a bigger one bedroom Log Cabin. The original part of the cabin is nearly 100 years old and was added on to in the 50's. The old logs are still in tact and make for a very authentic feel inside. This place is perfect for a couple, or a small family. The kitchen is fully stocked and has a dining table for 4. There is A/C, WiFi, and a 42" TV with cable. There is a queen in the bedroom and two futons in the living room, with plenty of room to move around. Cabin could easily accommodate 4 adults. New in 2017, a large bathroom was installed with a 36" shower stall and adjoining closet area for guests luggage and gear. 2016 was it's first rental season in 25 years, and since people couldn't have been happier. If you want to step back in time but have modern amenities available, this is your place!

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.

37th Anniversary Trip

Looked the cozy feel of cabin, close enough to town and falls..but, far enough away to not be too "crowdy". Loved how many falls and sites were close enough to see.

The cabin was everything we needed for our stay. It was centrally located to many waterfalls, hiking trails, Lake Superior, and great food. We especially enjoyed the Brownstone Inn. Cory was a wonderful host. His suggestions were very helpful. His giant “notebook” of places to go and see made our choices of where to visit and hike much easier. I highly recommend a stay. I’m a professional Santa Claus and Cory’s cabin is 100% Santa approved

I can't begin to express how pleased I was with this cabin! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I have been to the area frequently but have only camped Pictured Rocks and stayed in Munising. I was pleasantly surprised at how close to everything this actually was. Love that Lake Superior is right down the road too...it means I didn't have to miss any sunsets! The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything I needed in both the kitchen and bathroom. It was nice and quiet at night. This place felt like home to me - I will be back!!

It was a nice and quiet cabin right by all the hiking places we wanted to go see. Would love to come back and do the kayaking that’s all around. Lots to do all around the cabin and had a really great time.

A Place to enjoy the UP

Close to all the attractions on the UP! Host had a fantastic notebook with suggestions and links to all there is to do. The place was as shown...not the palace, but a throwback to simpler times when a cabin was a cabin! We enjoyed our stay...comfy bed, hot water, and the inside of the cabin was well-cleaned.

100 year old cabin

The listing for this cabin is accurate. It is a 100 year old cabin, but it is very functional and comfortable for 2 people to stay. From where the cabin is located it is very easy to access the Au Train river or go to Munising or Marquette for activities or restaurants. There are also plenty of hiking or biking trails in the area. We will definitely be coming back to this area.

The little cabin was ok for a few nights stay. When we arrived the grass was tall weeds. The owner did have it trimmed immediately which made it look much better. The nights were pretty cold so we had to use the gas heater which at first wouldn’t light. The owner came to light it and it worked. However, there was a gas odor so we had to vent by keeping windows cracked open. The microwave is on top the refrigerator which made it pretty hard for me to use.All in all, probably better in the warmer weather. It is a pretty area to spend a few nights.

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 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.
