About this property

Right on the river and close to Lake Superior

Warm inviting cabin located in Au Train, Michigan. Look out your window and watch the gentle river flow, or better yet, sit on the large covered porch. Either way, you won't be farther than 50 feet from the water. If you're looking for adventure, this area has it all. Hiking biking, ATV's, snowmobile trails right down the road. But this river is known for its kayak and canoeing. It stretches nearly 7 miles, yet you end up 0.5 miles from where you started. Fish in the river or head up to Au Train lake. The lake is great for water sports, bird watching or swimming with a sand beach and campground. The sandy shores of Lake Superior are only 1 mile away. Located between Munising and Marquette, Au Train is the perfect place to settle down and enjoy all the U.P. has to offer. Firewood is available for purchase onsite

This is a great place. It's a great central location in the U.P., whether you kayak or not. It was great to have a washer and dryer as an option. Cindy is a wonderful host!

Great for pet owners. We did not have a pet with us. After two nights we finally killed the last of the eighteen flys in the cabin on our arrival???Full dusting, window cleaning and no flys would likely have more quests booking a second stay.The cabin could easily charge a higher rate if these basics were addressed.

We had the best time during our stay! Cabin is comfortable, has every kitchen amenity you could wish for, & the free access to kayaks was a huge plus for us! All of the mattresses were super comfortable. Cindy was a great host & Poe, her dog, was the sweetest! The location can't be beat! We enjoyed kayaking the Au Train River, Brownstone Inn for dinner, Bay Furnace for rock hunting, Capt Ron's Whitefish truck in Munising is a must & Au Train Grocery has the best pasties! We hope to return next year

A perfect little spot of heaven!!

I cannot say enough about Cindy and her properties. We have stayed a few times now and she always makes us feel at home! From the minute we got there the kids were outside exploring everything there was to see and do! The cabin was absolutely perfect for the 8 of us and we had so much fun checking out Au Train, Marquette, Munising, Christmas, and even went through Pictured Rocks National Park to Grand Maraise! I am already planning my next trips! Cindy is an incredible host and she made sure we had everything we needed, my kids especially enjoyed playing with her grandchildren during our stay! None of us wanted to leave at the end of the week. We love Au Train and all of the wonderful friends we made there!

This was a great place to stay with easy access to Pictured Rock, Munising, and Marquette. The river was lovely, the beach was close, and the house had plenty of room for us. I would recommend this place to anybody.
