Cottage #4 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 4 bedrooms and can accommodate from one to 8 guests. Each Cottage has all amenities included like WiFi, towels, linens, blankets, 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 is 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. Mooring your own boat is a possibility, contact me for details.

The Hemlock Cottage just got a complete makeover in May 2020! It is within steps of the river, and has a very unique feel to it. When we started the remodel, we found original cedar logs behind the paneling. The cottage was originally built in the 40's using local cedar. We restored the old logs and made them a center piece. The layout is small, but spacious for it's size and easily accommodates our guests. It is perfect for couples!! The kitchen is fully stocked and there's seating for 3 at the dining bar. There is A/C, WiFi, and a 43" TV with internet streaming service. The bedroom has a nice queen pillow-top mattress. The kitchen is very spacious for such a small space. there is plenty of counter top and the old original sink from the 50's is still in use. The nice new deck outside is perfect for a relaxing view of the river and general lounging.

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. I will meet with you after you arrive and give you advice about the area and things you can enjoy during your vacation.

Enjoyable Cabin on the River

We enjoyed our stay - being right by the river gave us plenty of time to fish! The cabin had just what we needed for the two of us to stay. Convenient to Munising and Lake Superior. Would love to visit during that summer and kayak the river.

Excellent U.P. Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this little cabin. The property was quiet with close proximity to a river and a few stores down the road. The cabin itself was clean and well kept with A/C, tvs, a wood burning stove, and full kitchen. Our host was quick to answer any questions we had and the check in/out process was simple. Thank you for a great stay!

Very clean and quiet! We did end up unplugging the gas stove for the stay because the burner was making a ticking noise, but overall it was a good stay. Very convenient to Lake Superior.

Perfect - Rustic and serene!

This cabin was not just clean and well maintained but was so nicely done, cute details (even the toilet paper holder, an iron pipe!) and so functional - outlets in the bedside lamps for instance. Fully stocked w everything we’d need, great host communication and the setting could not have been more perfectly beautiful - right on the river. Super convenient to go to Munising and Marquette.

A great family trip!

We stayed for 4 nights with our one year old baby and Labrador, and it was a lovely trip! The cottage is cozy for 4 beings, but was a great adventure. We were able to fit a smaller sized pack’n’play (guava lotus) at the end of the bed inside the bedroom curtain as well as a smaller dog crate. We hiked many waterfalls, saw the cliffs, played on the beach, went to visit Marquette (which is quite cute), the dog got to swim in the river across the way. It was one of the prettiest places we have traveled to and absolutely would visit again! This was a perfect little cabin for our stay.

Location was great. Close to the river and Lake Superior. Bed was comfortable and well stocked with most amenities although we stayed 2 nights and only one coffee. The grill was filthy and only one burner would turn on. Never received directions for check in and after going past the property twice we finally found it. Problem was no reception on phone and not receiving the email we were expecting for the directions.

An engaged couple & their dog!

A couple and their dog. My girlfriend & I got engaged on this trip! And it all went incredibly well because of our VRBO property rentals. This was our first extended vacation together with a dog and the property and surrounding areas & restaurants were all very dog friendly! If we ever came back to this area again I would consider rebooking this property because the stay was good. The property owners were very proactive and reached out ahead of time providing important information to us before we needed. That is especially great if you traveling in areas where the broadband isn’t great. We loved this property and appreciate it helping us make some wonderful memories for us!
