About this property
Lodge on Au Train River a few blks from Lk Superior 15 min from Munising
The Reel Inn Lodge in Au Train Michigan is just a 15 minute drive from Munising. Our properties consist of 2 modern log cabins, one is a lodge and the other a cabin, both rented individually. Our Lodge is located right on the bank of the famous Au Train River, known for being one of the best destinations for lazy canoeing and kayaking in upper Michigan. The Lodge sleeps 14 (& that includes adults, children, and infants) has 7 full size beds as well as 3 log full size futon style couch/beds and a toddler bed.
This air conditioned lodge has a full granite top kitchen (basic spices provided) , 1 1/2 baths and 2 additional full size vanities in the sleeping areas. The cave is a separate family room with its own flat screen TV, with gaming inputs, a extra fridge and a washer/dryer. The cave is equipped with many board games and hundreds of DVD's. Your rental has a washer/dryer & includes all linen and towels. The lodge is equipped with 2 Samsung Smart TV’s with 200+ built in channels, plus hulu or Netflix capabilities as well as gaming inputs & DVD player. Plenty of Ultra fast Starlink internet to handle any of your needs. Happy to send our just finished virtual tour through email by request .
Enjoy your Riverside fire pit with small bundle firewood available from many nearby local vendors. Camp fires in designated pit area only. Absolutely NO FIREWORKS on property at anytime. Onsite we have a complimentary canoe, paddle boat and several bikes including adult, youth and a tandem. We also have kayak rentals on site. (paddles & life jackets included.) 1-8ft youth, 3-10 ft, 2-12 ft & 1-13.5ft recreational tandem & 1-14.5ft touring tandem. All kayaks are sit in cockpit style & are $75 per unit (tandem is $25 more)for the length of your stay (payable on site if you wish)if you pre-pay them in advance with your reservation they are only $50 per unit or $75 for the tandem. reservations are not necessary but are recommended as we do rent to the public as well.
This destination puts our guests approximately 1/2 mile from one of the top 10 most pristine sugar sand beaches in the U.S. You will be only a 15 minute drive to countless sightseeing adventures which include dozens of waterfalls and boat tours of the famous pictured rocks national park. If you enjoy atv/snowmobiling, trails are practically out your back door. We are approximately 1/2 mile from the trail head and we have plenty on site parking at the Reel Inn. Spectacular fishing experiences in the Au Train river. Also Au Train Lake and Lake Superior are only minutes away from our property.
Pets would be considered at a small rate per pet, restrictions apply, please email inquiry.
UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, OR DATE CHANGES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Our other properties include the Reel Inn cabin which sleeps 6, The Au Train Lake House, sleeps 7, and the Pinewood Lodge Estate , the largest single structure (sleeps 34) vacation rental property in the entire upper peninsula. This majestic custom Hiawatha log lodge estate is located 2 miles west from the reel inn. The Pinewood is a 8500 square-foot log private estate on several hundred feet of Lake superior sand beach. Feel free to search it under Vrbo . The combined three of our properties will host upwards of 60 people.)
