This was a perfect place for my family's stay. Plenty of beds, a full kitchen with everything you need, and close proximity to the sites we wanted to see! The place was clean and Michelle was wonderful!
We spent a wonderful long weekend with our adult family at Michelle’s place. It was clean and welcoming. Everything was very well stocked especially the kitchen supplies and bathroom towels. We so enjoyed a fire in the fire pit. The firewood being provided was so appreciated especially for a short weekend visit. Munising is a close drive and cute little town. We loved that we could just walk down the street and rent kayaks for a leisurely float down the river. We also found it very convenient that a grocery store and pizza/ice cream shop was a short walk right around the corner. Would definitely stay again!
Great clean, convenient cabin on the snowmobile trail. Everything worked perfect and was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Will definitely be back.
This cottage was perfect for us. Walking distance to Lake Superior beach and the Au Train river, short drive into Munising, but still a private little hide-away. It was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit almost every night, fire wood supplied!
A very nice location, ideal for two adults. Compact space, well decorated, state of the art appliances.Short walk to local grocery and restaurant. Beautiful beach on Lake Superior a short walk from back yard as is the Onota rail trail that leads to the Au Train river. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.
The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Enjoyed the firepit and the quick walk to the beach. Also liked that it was centrally located. Made for an easy drive to everything we wanted to see. Michelle was an excellent host. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Susan for such a kind review. Welcome back anytime!
I couldn’t recommend this cabin enough as a jumping off point for Upper Peninsula Adventures. The cabin itself is clean, comfortable and in a perfect location for hiking, kayaking or hanging out at the beach. It is outfitted with a well equipped kitchen and laundry, as well as comfortable bedding for adults and children.
Such a great home. We were literally steps from our favorite beach in the world. Had everything we need and pefect home base for UP site seeing.
Thank you so much!

Jeff, Thank you so much for such kind words. We love meeting wonderful guests like you and your family. We are so happy when our guests enjoy themselves. It makes us smile! Hope we will see you again this winter.
A very clean and well supplied rental. Host was very nice and informative. Rental was a short drive to nearby Munising, Pictured Rocks and Marquette so that location was good.
We visit the area every summer and this is by far the most comfortable and convenient camp we've stayed at. While you can't see Lake Superior from the house, you can absolutely walk there in 2 minutes.
The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. It was such a comfortable home base for all our UP adventures.

Thank you for your kind comments. We usually brush out the area so Lake Superior can be seen from the cottage, however, with my husband's cervical surgery he is not able to it this summer. I haven't learned to use the chain saw yet...lol. But happy ypu enjoyed your stay. Thanks again.
A wonderful place on the amazing U.P. Lake Superior shore
We had a lovely stay here. The place is clean and very well maintained. Just across the street from a fantastic and unique beach with the au train river connecting with beautiful Lake Superior. The cottage has a fantastic deck with plenty of outdoor seating and a fire ring outside with fire wood provided. Close to Munising and Pictured Rocks and everything that the area has to offer. Thanks and hope to return!
Michelle was a wonderful host and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at her cabin. 2 minute walk to the river or the beach was fantastic. Short drive to Marquette and Munising for the touristy things. We saw sandhill cranes walk through the property multiple times. I cant say enough positive things about this location and host. We hope to return someday.
The Doucettes have a beautiful rental property and do everything they can to make the trip enjoyable. There was plenty of material on hand giving information on area attractions and Michelle gave us tons of ideas when we arrived. The location in Au Train was perfect for us as we checked out plenty of beautiful spots from Marquette to Grand Marais. Highly recommended.

Thank you. It was my pleasure hosting and meeting you both. Perfect guests.
I am sorry I messed up on the review on my end. I'm trying to fix it. I forgot one section that should have been 5 stars 🌟. Loved meeting you both!
This home has newly constructed bedrooms and bathroom that were perfect for my husband and I. We did not use the bunk room that has 4 bunk beds. It is perfectly located between Marquette and Munising while also being a short walk across the road to a beach on Lake Superior with great sunsets. Walk up in the woods, walk to the beach, travel to a town...just perfect!
Excellent location. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped cottage. Beautiful surroundings and very close to Lake Superior. Waterfalls, trails, and attractions nearby. Friendly hostess provided helpful local information. Suitable for couples and families. The two bunkbeds in one room can sleep four kids. Bonus feature: this cottage has the biggest and best residential washer and dryer we've ever seen in our lives! We enjoyed a delightful stay.
Relaxing stay & great location to explore the area !
We had a very relaxing and fun adventure on our trip and in staying at the cottage in Au Train !
The cottage was very clean and well organized & had everything we needed. The owners were very nice and welcoming and easy to communicate with.
The location was great for exploring many different activities in the area ,including hiking , fishing , swimming and visiting the nearby Pictured Rocks! There is so much more we wanted to do , but didn’t seem to have enough time ! We plan to come back and explore the area another time soon :)
My hubby and I had a wonderful stay and Michelle and Jerry’s home. It was well appointed and comfortable. In my 20 years of renting VRBO, this is the first time the owner met us and answered any questions we might have. What a special touch! Thanks again and hopefully we will see you next year.

Very much enjoyed meeting you both! Please come back anytime and maybe we can sit and have a fireside chat.
Perfect Getaway location to check out Lake Superior Lighthouses
Easy to get to and in the perfect location for us. We traveled a lot during our stay making our way from Whitefish Point (about 2 hours away) and to Copper Harbor (just over 3 hours away). The cabin was right in the middle. We visited 7 lighthouses and over 20 waterfalls while we traveled. Very clean. The cabin has room to sleep 2 adults on a queen bed and 4 more in a shared room with 2 twin bunk beds. We were very happy and would stay here again.
The cleanliness and coziness of this cottage exceeds expectations! Great location to navigate to Marquette and Munising. Walking distance to Lake Superior and Au Train River beach. Great fire place setup - overall felt like a small version of home. Michelle was great to work with! She had great communication and accommodations from suggestions for things to do to kitchen supplies.
Strongly recommend this Lake Superior Cottage!
