About this property

Cottage #5 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks, Waterfalls,Trail

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

This Cottage, "Riverside" is newer than the surrounding cottages. The old Riverside Resort was built in the 40s and this cottage sits on the site of the old bait house and office. In 1998 the bait house was torn down and this cottage was built. It is approximately 700 sqft. and has 2 bedrooms and one bath. Both bedrooms have queen beds with all linens, blankets and pillows provided. The kitchen is fully stocked with all cookware, dinnerware etc for your use. There is a TV with cable and WiFi available. The couch pulls out for additional sleeping . There is grill for this cottage with gas included and chairs for seating outdoors.

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.

The cabin was very nice. Everything was stocked well. The outside windows and doors were a little too "spidery" though. Very close to the river which was cool. Close to Munising. Would definitely stay again in this cabin.

It is a cozy cabin right on the river. Ther are several things to do nearby. Lots of waterfalls, kayaking, beaches, etc. There is a casino a few miles away, and lots of different places to eat. Something for everyone.

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Nice location along the Au Train River. Easy drive to Munising and Pictured Rocks. We kayaked Lake Superior and hiked. The living room was comfortable to rest after a busy day. Cottage was clean just needed a good power wash on the outside. Will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property along with the well equipped kitchen. The proximity to the river was very scenic. There were ample spaces off the main road to walk our dog. The cottage was clean inside, but there were a lot of spiders and webs around the door (and also on the window screens).

Wonderful cottage

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The cabin itself was cozy and the host was very responsive to our needs (we needed a shovel) and very pleasant. I don’t want to say too much for fear this hidden gem won’t be available when we decide to come back.

Great communication, easy directions and nice setting with a great location between Marquette and Munising. The cottage needs a thorough cleaning inside and out as well as updating to some furniture. The carpet needs to be cleaned/shampooed. In the bathroom the towel rack was bent out of wall and needs fixed, shower curtain is old and dingy and does not fit properly. In living room the ottoman is filthy and stained heavily at the bottom. The couch has a spring coming out the back side and the ottoman for the chair has a big stain/dyed spot. Outside the property needs a thorough power washing and cleaning up. The setting on the River was fantastic and the parking was very convenient.

Peaceful Riverside!

Relaxing, very peaceful by the river. Very quiet property and close to Au Train beach and Munising. Loved being right on the river and watching all the kayakers and canoers pass by. Would stay here again.

Lovely little spot.

I was concerned it might be noisy with other cabins so close but was pleasantly surprised how peaceful it was during our stay. Needed a deep clean as there was bug poo on exterior & some spiders inside but overall we had a lovely visit.

Perfect location on the river

This cottage was great for our family. It is located right on the river bank in a quiet area. The living room and kitchen were roomy, and the bedrooms plenty big.It was clean and well stocked with kitchen ware, and paper products.The outside area was great for sitting as a group, having an evening around the fire pit, or sticking your feet in the river. We had paddle boarders and swimmers with us that took advantage of being riverside. Nobody brought a fishing pole, so I don’t know about fishing there. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

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 is the best on the river, it 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 8 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.
