    We had an absolutely great time staying at the lodge. Room for two families - three adults, four kids. My parents stayed next door in the cabin. Location is on an off branch of the main river. 1 minute car ride, 5 minute bike ride, 30 minute canoe ride to beach. Beach is spectacular! Kids LOVED swimming in the lake and river. Property and interior were spotless. House has everything you need. Communication and check in was easy. Rental includes grill, bikes, and canoe. Kayaks were available to rent. Small grocery store, ice cream, and pasties in town 1/4 mile away. Munising 15 minute drive. Au Train falls 15 minute ride (highly recommend). Can’t say enough good things. Our group ages 8-73 all loved it!!

    This property is beautiful inside and out with wood trim finishing every inch. We took a large group here snowmobiling. Our group was led to believe by the listing that the Reel Inn Cabin, located about 15 feet from the Lodge, was included for the price. “The Reel Inn” sign is on the Cabin, not the Lodge, which made us think in person that both buildings were included in the listing. We were charged for using the second cabin, which was unlocked upon arrival and faces the same parking area for the Lodge. This would be understandable if the listing had explicitly said that the Cabin was not included. The shower in the Lodge leaks water if you don’t have the sliding shower doors just right, which the owner is aware of, and is posted by a sticker that can be easily read. We were not the first ones to have this issue based on the water marks in the wood ceiling board directly above the cooktop and kitchen sink. The shower should not leak regardless of the door positions. I believe the listing pictures also exaggerate the size of the kitchen/living room in the Lodge. Our group expected to see some common toiletries provided in the Lodge for the price. Only towels were provided, which were all very clean. This property is not trailer friendly, with having to back all the way down the street to turn around a trailer of any size. I am confident this would be a very nice property and accurately priced for the summer months where trailers aren’t necessary. Thank you

    We have had trips up and down the Au Train River in the past and we wanted to get everyone together to do it again! This property is PERFECT! The location was everything! You are right on the river, close to the beach and Lake Superior, close to a grocery store/gad station, and close to a pizza place! Also not far from Munising, and Marquette! There are kayaks on site for rent, and the cost for those is well worth it, and they are in great shape! It was so worth being able to get on and off of the river at the Lodge! Inside the lodge is amazing too! Great space for lots of people but still big enough that everyone has their own space! The outdoor space is amazing as well! The cabin has everything you need! We can’t wait to rent this place again!

    The Reel Inn is a cozy lodge with everything you need to enjoy some time away from busy life! The cabin is tidy, well-stocked and has great wireless internet (very important because otherwise we had no cell service) The AuTrain lake allows for fishing and boating, the fire pit is begging to make s’mores and the bikes are great for cruising and exploring. This location is great for exploring the UP and all its natural wonders.

    This is a very well appointed and cared for property. The location is perfect for activities in any direction and it is particularly great for families needing a quality place to stay. The hosts, Matt and Holly, were great to work with and only a phone call away. A very clean and comfortable lodge with all amenities. Stay here - you won’t be disappointed!

    This place was great. We’re a family of 5 and it had everything we needed. Lots of beds and they were comfortable. The area was quiet and the view from the back was beautiful. Lake Superior is so close and had gorgeous sunsets. It was really nice we were able to bring our dog. Only negative was that the well water was hard for some of us city water drinkers to drink but not a big deal. It was a great getaway.
