About this property

Cottage #8 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks, Waterfalls

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 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. This Cottage, "DA Loft" is very old, it is a mixture of old log and pine interior with a new "old style" pine floor throughout. It is an open concept with cathedral ceiling and a nice sized loft. There is plenty of space and it easily accommodates 2-8 guests. This cottage is generally the most favored due to it's size and character. The front porch is big and it overlooks the river and has the best view of them all. There is a 43" HDTV w/Netflix streaming and WiFi along with plenty of seating in the living room area. There is a nice expandable dining table "circa 1950's" that will seat everyone staying. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking meals. There are 2 queen beds and 2 double size beds in the cabin. Two full bathrooms, both with showers are available as well. There is a nice grill outside on the deck overlooking the river.

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.

Great space. Not as clean as I’d like…
Very convenient 2 bathrooms. Good price. I wish it was a little cleaner. Nice to be right on the river. Great spot between Munising and Marquette. Furniture was very dated. That being said, if I knew the sheets were clean I’d stay again. Cory is easy to communicate with.

Perfect, cozy and comfortable
We (myself and two small children) have rented a handful of cabins and this is the first one that didn't give one kid or the other a scary vibe. Everything was great and we hope to come back during warmer, calmer weather so we can visit Pictured Rocks. The check-out rules are also incredibly simple: basically, just tidy up and take the garbage to the dumpster. If you're coming from the lower peninsula, I highly recommend taking the rt 123 route and stopping at Tahquamenon Falls, which only adds an hour to your driving time. If you're going rock hunting around Two Hearted River/Crisp Point, learn about two-track roads and ***avoid them like the plague*** unless you're entirely confident in your 4x4 vehicle. We got stuck on one next to the "airport" at Mouth of Two Hearted River and we're lucky to have had cell service to connect to 911 and the tow company. (Even the locals were surprised.) If we hadn't, we'd probably still be stuck there. You can get direct, easy access to rocks at Grand Marais, which is only an hour away from the cabin. Just take 28-> the literal end of 77 to avoid dirt roads. Falling Rock cafe & bookstore in Munising has great food an a little indoor play area for kids, as well as books and games.

Nice Cabin
Very nice location. Nice atmosphere and cabin like experience. One bed downstairs was very nice and one upstairs was also. The other 2 beds need upgrades but would work for kids. Some furniture upgrades would be nice too. But we would stay again if we ever went up that way.

Cute River Cabin
The cabin sits right on the Au Train River and we got to watch kayaks and canoes float by. The cabin had great beds, large tv and a wonderful electric fireplace.

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 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.
