About this property
Cottage #2 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior Beach, 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. Included in your stay is a gas grill with propane, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, as well as coffee filters for our regular drip coffee maker. We don't provide toiletries.
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 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.
The Cedar Cottage was my first cottage, I completely updated the interior and exterior of this place in 2009. It is perfectly setup for couples. The kitchen is fully stocked, there is A/C, WiFi and there is a 32" TV where you can sign into your own streaming service or free streaming included with the TV. The bedroom has a pillowtop Queen which is very comfortable. Overall, it has tons of character as the walls are all original pine from the 1940's and overall has that UP feel. I have been told it's "very cabiny", cozy and cute.... Lounge on the deck, or down by the river! It is my most popular cottage among the 7 available.
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.

Very good

Only thing that bummed us out was that there were no darts for the dart board, I was excited for that. Otherwise day 1 we didn't have water but they worked with us and allowed us to shower, then fixed it the next day. Absolutely amazing spot and loved the views
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The location was very quiet and extremely peaceful. The Au Train river was beautiful and perfect for kayaking. We would definitely consider staying again.
This was a very cute little cottage- just as described. Cottage was very clean and our host was super helpful! We were there celebrating our 40th Anniversary, this suited us perfectly. We would stay here again.
Easy to find. Cory our host was very helpful. No complaints.
We enjoyed our stay, it was close by everyplace we wanted to see.

The cabin is small, but efficiently arranged with everything you need. The bed is comfortable and the hot water in the shower is amazing! And the neighborhood is quiet and scenic, just a short drive to numerous restaurants and things to do!
The host left an amazing binder with all the information we could possibly need about the surrounding waterfalls and hikes. It also included information about whether it was a pet friendly trail or not. The cabin had everything we would need to cook and sit down to a meal. It was very clean. The neighborhood was nice and safe.
This was a nice little cottage. Conviently located to lots of interesting places. Especially enjoyed sitting on the porch during a rain storm. Charming place. Nice shower comfy bed
We were very Impressed with the visitation book. It was very thorough, with QR codes for places to eat, all the falls, information with options of what to do.It helped us plan our stay.The location was very peaceful and about 20 minutes from Musing.We loved that we were able to bring our fur baby.
My partner and I took our dog up to Au Train for the weekend, this cabin was reasonably priced, small and cute, and honestly it was quite pleasantly an unbothered experience. Location is super great for all of the scenic trails and overlooks.
It was perfect for a getaway with my fiance. Really UP feel. Nothing fancy, which is just what we were looking for. Perfectly located! Highly recommended place to stay.
Location was perfect to launch our watercraft and float the Au Train River and take out less than a mile hike from the cabin. Small cozy cabin perfect for two persons.
Everything was clean and comfortable. Cozy little cabin was perfect for 2 adults and our dog. Loved the rustic feel. Also we liked the town and neighbors. I wouldn’t describe property as waterfront though a small river channel is visible. Beach access is a quick drive. Appreciate the communication w/ the property owner.

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 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.
