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 likeWiFi, 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 where you can sign into your own streaming service or free streaming included with the TV. 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.

    Nice, quiet, clean little cabin. Close enough to bigger towns yet still out in the woods. Perfect cabin for a couple with a dog or two. Hopefully visiting again during a different season. Thank you!

    The pictures of the property suggest do not match its current condition. It is run down and desperately needs renovation. It’s not good business to misrepresent the property, especially considering the rental rate. We left a day early because we couldn’t stand the place.

    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.

    We enjoyed our stay here quite a bit. It's a cozy little place with plenty to do nearby. Pet friendly is a big deal for us so being able to bring our dog is a huge plus.

    Cute little cabin that has everything you’ll need for a stay! Loved that the kitchen had dishes/pots/pans and a coffee maker! Good hot water and a comfy bed! Not far from pictured rocks and 5 minutes from the beach/lake!

    The property is older, but clean. It's an old cabin, so there is a musty smell. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure was low, but again it's expected with many older builds

    It was the perfect, quaint little getaway for a winter weekend snowmobiling. Easy access to the trails. Has the right amount of amenities to come back to for being gone on the trails all day. Highly recommend!

    The cabin itself was very clean, cozy and well thought out. The Vacation Information Binder was incredibly helpful and led to a very enjoyable stay in the area. The info about the neighboring falls was particularly useful.

    It was a very nice stay. There were not enough towels and washcloths. The toilet needs repair as it continued running after flushed if the handle was not wiggled.

    Great little cabin with everything you could need. Just make sure you really like the person you are staying with, since the bathroom walls do not extend all the way to the ceiling and you can hear everything :)
