About this property

Riverfront Cottage! 20% last minute weekly discount for open May dates.

Beautiful and spacious three-bedroom cottage - impeccably maintained and tastefully decorated. Knotty pine walls and ceiling throughout. Large stone natural gas fireplace centers an open concept living area with a vaulted ceiling and split-log staircase leading to a loft with extra beds. Tranquil riverfront views of the popular Au Train River. Well stocked cottage with plenty of extras. We want you to feel right at home so that you can relax and enjoy your vacation!
We added new steps down to the river, so you can bring your canoes or kayaks right down!
We are Premier Hosts and very experienced in owning and managing a vacation rental and have a proven track record in providing our renters with a wonderful vacation experience. See our other VRBO property in Florida - #339008. We go the extra mile to ensure people that rent from us have no surprises and leave with great memories. We have lived in the Upper Peninsula off and on for close to 30 years and are excited to share the best of what makes this area an amazing four seasons vacation destination.

ABOUT THE AREA: Au Train is located in Alger County, one of the most scenic areas in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This increasingly popular vacation destination has adventure awaiting in many directions. In nearby Munising visit the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, beautiful waterfalls, Grand Island National Recreation Area, and the Hiawatha National Forest. The hiking, biking, snowshoeing and snowmobiling opportunities are endless. Au Train Lake and Lake Superior have beautiful sandy beaches. Au Train Lake is famous for great fishing and great waterskiing. The Au Train River is one of the safest and most scenic and enjoyable streams in the state for canoes and kayaks. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. Fall Fishing is great in both the many inland lakes of the area and in Lake Superior. Deer and Bear as well as Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock hunting are excellent. In the winter, enjoy miles of groomed snowmobile trails, ice fishing on Au Train Lake and Lake Superior, or perhaps enjoy snowshoeing or cross country skiing through vast wooded areas. In the spring, Woodlands are carpeted with wildflowers and mushrooms peak through the ground. Trout fishing is excellent in the river and numerous streams as well as Lake Superior.

TYPES OF RENTERS WE CATER TO: We love renting to families or groups of friends who love nature and who enjoy experiencing the best of what the outdoors has to offer. We don't rent to groups under 25 years of age. We respect our wonderful neighbors and their right to enjoy their own privacy and expect our renters to comply with Au Train's noise ordinances posted in the cottage (quiet hours 11pm to 7am). If you are looking for a place to hold loud parties, this is not your place. But if you are looking for an amazing cottage with tons of charm to have a fantastic and memorable vacation, look no further!

Fantastic Cabin
Great location for exploring the Marquette area. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. The kids loved the loft area. The spot by the river is beautiful. We liked it so much that we are hoping to come up this winter to explore some of the cross country ski trails in the area.

Fabulous Summertime Vacay!
Cabin was spotless, welcoming, great floor plan, well stocked with essentials, easy access to Au Train River, and so close to Lake Superior! All beds met our standards (we can be picky about beds). Clean, comfortable & nice linens. Fans & extra blankets for when the weather fluctuates. We enjoyed our family games at the “game table” and our fires at the fire pit! An overall great UP experience!

Beautiful cottage
We were there to enjoy the winter sites and snowmobile. Great location, close to Picture Rocks and the snowmobile trail just a mile or so away. Mike and Colleen are great hosts. Respond quickly to any questions.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Colleen

Host profile image
Mike's parents were born and raised in Ishpeming. Colleen's family moved to Chatham in the UP in 1973. We met in 1985 at a Marquette accounting firm where we both worked. We married in 1988, had two kids and relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in 2000 for Mike's job at Cleveland Cliffs. We recently retired to the East Lansing area. We loved our many years living in the UP and are glad that we now live closer to family and friends!

Why they chose this property

When we lived in the UP we loved to rent places either on Au Train lake or on the Au Train river. We hadn't thought about buying a place there until we heard about this property from a family friend in early 2018. When we saw pictures of it we fell in love with it - the sturdy construction, the knotty pine walls and ceiling, the stone fireplace, and especially the great location on the river. We were fortunate to have purchased the cottage from the original owner Nancy who took such excellent care of the place.
