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.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Au Train Beach. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, fireplace, and patio
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from Hiawatha National Forest and a 3-minute drive from Lake Superior

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.

A Quiet Escape

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.

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.

I have communicated with the host about the condition of the rental. Address location was midway between Munising & Marquette, making Au Train the ideal location for touring. No river view from Cabin #2.
