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 where you can sign into your own streaming service or free streaming included with the TV. 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.

This is a 100 Year old cabin. So expect rustic. The bedroom is very tight on space. We have a camper so we expect that type of thing and are used to it. The thing that we were disappointed with is it is not on the river. It is River adjacent. You can see the river from the parking space outside of the cabin, but you are not river-front. The toilet seat is a surprise. It's loose and it will pinch you w. There are other cabins that are riverfront. They are more mhen it shifts when you sit down. There are cabins at a riverfront that are more modernized and fixed up. We probably would go with one of those next time.
We enjoyed our time staying in this rustic, but updated property. It was close enough to the local sights but just enough out of the way to enjoy the peacefulness.
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.
Cabin was easy to find, communication with the owners was great!! check in and check out was very easy, the cabin was clean, and it had everything we needed, loved that the kitchen had all the dishes and utensils that we needed would definitely stay there again!!!!and it’s close to picture rock national park where there is a lot of trails great beaches, and waterfalls There’s so much to do around there!!!

We were only there for sleeping; enjoying many of the surrounding sights in the area
I absolutely loved my stay here. The cabin was quaint clean and had every we needed. I loved that it came with a free kayak rental as that experience made our trip extra special
Was cute little cabin close to many attractions. Perfect spot in quiet area. Bed was comfortable. Host was quick to respond to any questions. Close to the Yak Shack, Au Train river kayak a must.
Rustic vibe but clean thru out! Loved the old school decorating. Nice location making it close to Lake Superior, casino, and lots to do and see in Munising.
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.
Perfect place for a small group of friends or family! Right off of the au train river which is perfect for kayaking or snorkeling and a good halfway point between Marquette and Munising. Great place to stay if your looking to do hiking around the area and an absolutely beautiful location!

Rustic cabin but comfortable. The location is on the river as well as close to the lake and nearby attractions. For the price, it was well worth it.
Great place to stay. Clean, nicely stocked linen, towels, and washclothes. A/C and heater works great. Nice river access. Perfectly located near hiking trails and waterfalls. Excellent location to Lake Superior for swimming.
This small but quaint cabin had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. It was very quiet at night! Loved being in AuTrain. This was a great place to stay that allowed us to take day trips to Grand Marais and Munising, and to explore the surrounding area.

About the host
Hosted by Cory Cole
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.
