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

We really liked the location, sitting on the porch watching the river. One of the best stocked places we have stayed, had everything we needed!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Cindy was great to work with. Will definitely come back!!!
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.
Great spot to get away for our family. Plenty of room for everyone and accommodations were as pictured on site. Definitely want to stay here again just a little bit longer next time 😊
We enjoyed our stay in this nice home on the Autrain River. It was clean, spacious, decorated nicely, and quite comfortable. We would love to stay again.
Lots of amenities, right on the river, lots of children’s games, shampoo, conditioners, plenty of towels, plenty of blankets. You cannot beat the price for this place that sleeps 12 people!!!
Was a great location. Close to the river with an abundance of canoe & kayaks to choose from. Beds were very comfortable. We were left a message that said that she was moving in next door and to excuse the garage mess. The lady next door (who is the caretaker of the property) greeted us nicely and when we asked if she could chain -up her dog when we were out with ours on a leash said she would. The place is dark even with more than enough overhead lighting. We always travel with flashlights and we were glad we did. You will need them. The trash was already piled up in the can and when we left was now overflowing. The biggest problem was that the turnaround area is scattered with nails that will either puncture your tires or skin. This is total disregard for the people staying here. PLEASE take care of this soon. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.
The cabin was well stocked and the caretaker was readily available. The river was a delight as well
