Cottage #5 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks, Waterfalls,Trail

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. Some 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. 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 a gas grill w/propane, and 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.

This Cottage, "Riverside" is newer than the surrounding cottages. The old Riverside Resort was built in the 40s and this cottage sits on the site of the old bait house and office. In 1998 the bait house was torn down and this cottage was built. It is approximately 700 sqft. and has 2 bedrooms and one bath. Both bedrooms have queen beds with all linens, blankets and pillows provided. The kitchen is fully stocked with all cookware, dinnerware etc for your use. There is a TV with cable and WiFi available. The couch pulls out for additional sleeping . There is grill for this cottage with gas included and chairs for seating outdoors.

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.

Beautiful spot on the river!
The cabin was even better than the photos portrayed! So peaceful, right on the water - caution if you have littles, but awesome for adults. Have your coffee listening to the river and the birds. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We also appreciated that our dog was allowed and lots of places to walk nearby.

Pleasantly Surprised
The Cabin with River outside was just as pictured. Inside Cabin was spacious and very clean and newer than I had expected. It had everything you needed to cook with and more. Including New Gas Grill outside. Location for Kayaking, & Beach minutes away. Many Waterfalls and downtown Munising within 30 minutes of Cabin. I wish we could have stayed longer. Great Place. Hope to come back.

Cute place on the river
It was a cute place on the river, biggest complaint was the coffee maker had old coffee left in it, and was full of mold they said they would get us a new one, then brought us a used one, was disappointed about being lied to

Loved the river!
We had a wonderful week in the UP! The location is fantastic for river kayaking. I would have to say the AuTrain River is one of my favorite kayak routes of all time! So much to do in the Munising area, too. I really loved the woodworking in the house. The vaulted ceiling is lovely and really makes the small house feel more spacious. I would have liked cleaner floors/carpet, but we definitely had a good stay.

Nice Snowmobile trip
Cabin was as it was described. Beds and living room were comfy. Bathroom is more than adequate. Cabins main heat source is a gas fireplace that has no problem keeping things warm, bedrooms and bathroom had electric heaters to help if needed. Not the end of the world but pans could use an update.

Very accommodating owner and the cutest little cottage! Very clean and well kept. Only suggestion would be to provide snow shovel and salt/sand for the front steps during the winter time. Looking forward to booking in the summer to experience the local parks and waters!
