We are Premier Hosts and very experienced in owning and managing a vacation rental and have a proven track record in providing our renters with a wonderful vacation experience. See our other VRBO property in Florida - #339008. We go the extra mile to ensure people that rent from us have no surprises and leave with great memories. We have lived in the Upper Peninsula off and on for close to 30 years and are excited to share the best of what makes this area an amazing four seasons vacation destination.

ABOUT THE AREA: Au Train is located in Alger County, one of the most scenic areas in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This increasingly popular vacation destination has adventure awaiting in many directions. In nearby Munising visit the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, beautiful waterfalls, Grand Island National Recreation Area, and the Hiawatha National Forest. The hiking, biking, snowshoeing and snowmobiling opportunities are endless. Au Train Lake and Lake Superior have beautiful sandy beaches. Au Train Lake is famous for great fishing and great waterskiing. The Au Train River is one of the safest and most scenic and enjoyable streams in the state for canoes and kayaks. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. Fall Fishing is great in both the many inland lakes of the area and in Lake Superior. Deer and Bear as well as Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock hunting are excellent. In the winter, enjoy miles of groomed snowmobile trails, ice fishing on Au Train Lake and Lake Superior, or perhaps enjoy snowshoeing or cross country skiing through vast wooded areas. In the spring, Woodlands are carpeted with wildflowers and mushrooms peak through the ground. Trout fishing is excellent in the river and numerous streams as well as Lake Superior.

TYPES OF RENTERS WE CATER TO: We love renting to families or groups of friends who love nature and who enjoy experiencing the best of what the outdoors has to offer. We don't rent to groups under 25 years of age. We respect our wonderful neighbors and their right to enjoy their own privacy and expect our renters to comply with Au Train's noise ordinances posted in the cottage (quiet hours 11pm to 7am). If you are looking for a place to hold loud parties, this is not your place. But if you are looking for an amazing cottage with tons of charm to have a fantastic and memorable vacation, look no further!

    A great location, cozy backyard, and the kitchen was nicely equipped. It is worth noting that grown adults cant stand up straight in the loft portion, but perfect for elementary or middle school ages kids. Nobody goes on vacation to hang out in your bedroom anyway. We had a wonderful stay!

    The cabin was great. The blizzard knocked the power out for the area. We had the gas fireplace that heated the whole house comfortably. The adults and kids played games and did puzzles that were there. The kitchen was well stocked. The washer and dryer were very handy.There were plenty of towels and sitting for our group of seven. We enjoyed our Skiing and snow. The owners checked in with us which was nice touch.

    This was a fantastic stay for a family wedding in Marquette @ Carp River Gardens! The property was even more beautiful than the pictures, sparkling clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect, and the host was incredibly responsive to our questions. We'd highly recommend this place and would love to return

    This was a beautiful property and we loved the sounds of nature around us! Plenty of space since there were only two of us, and the house was set up really well with any supplies you could need. Very nice and responsive hosts. I really wanted to give it 4.5/5 stars but didn’t have the option…the only downfall was the TV situation. Part of the fun of travel for us is checking up on local news and weather, however this was not possible as the house has Roku with streaming only (like Netflix, Hulu, etc). It worked out ok but did detract a bit as we don’t have much streaming and weren’t able to watch any local sports, plus I had to mirror my Apple phone constantly to watch anything beyond Hulu. Also, for smaller children, the backyard is narrow and quite steep leading to the Au Train River. Stunning scenery with lots of ducks (which we loved!!) but no fishing whatsoever (from the shore) and the steepness isn’t great for young kids. Overall really enjoyed our trip though, lots of nature hikes and gorgeous scenery!

    This Au Train home was truly cozy - a home away from home. Very clean; comfortable beds & couches; great outdoor space for enjoying river views; supplied with everything you could need for a week away. Stayed with husband, adult son & teenage girl; two downstairs bedrooms are small but perfectly functional, master is a good size with convenient half bath attached. Did not use upstairs loft area, which has ample room for twin & full bed, but has sloped ceiling so probably best for kids/smaller guests. Communication with owners was prompt, friendly & helpful. Great local in quiet Au Train, 2 min from spacious sandy beach we enjoyed thoroughly in unseasonably warm weather. Husband brought his fishing gear & had great luck fishing river at bottom of (steep- careful!) stairs-- so bonus! Definitely would return & strongly recommend.

    We had 3 adults and one toddler staying here and had so much space! We were impressed with how many people could wind up fitting into this cottage. It had all the amenities we would need, and we loved being able to use the charcoal grill and fire pit. The view of the river is really nice. Instructions were clear provided by the host on how to get in and for check-out. We had a couple questions and the response time was great. The location was a perfect spot for us to go to a few different places in the UP. We’re saving this one for the future in case we have another UP trip! Highly recommend this home!
