About this property

Right on the river and close to Lake Superior

Warm inviting cabin located in Au Train, Michigan. Look out your window and watch the gentle river flow, or better yet, sit on the large covered porch. Either way, you won't be farther than 50 feet from the water. If you're looking for adventure, this area has it all. Hiking biking, ATV's, snowmobile trails right down the road. But this river is known for its kayak and canoeing. It stretches nearly 7 miles, yet you end up 0.5 miles from where you started. Fish in the river or head up to Au Train lake. The lake is great for water sports, bird watching or swimming with a sand beach and campground. The sandy shores of Lake Superior are only 1 mile away. Located between Munising and Marquette, Au Train is the perfect place to settle down and enjoy all the U.P. has to offer. Firewood is available for purchase onsite

Pros:Nice bedrooms, stocked kitchen, access to laundry, homey touchesTo be aware:This property is not secluded. You are very close to owner's cabin and other rentals. Laundry is in shared, attached garage that is accessed during your stay. The lock does not work well so we had to manually lock and unlock during our stay. This meant going through the garage which had an entry to the house. Firepit and seating areas are shared.This place would be great for large families with children and pets. The kayaks and other equipment were easy to access. You can tell they are doing lots of work to the property to make improvements.

Great location for many UP attractions.

This was a great place to stay with easy access to Pictured Rock, Munising, and Marquette. The river was lovely, the beach was close, and the house had plenty of room for us. I would recommend this place to anybody.
