Warm inviting cabin located in Au Train, Michigan. Look out your window and watch the gentle river flow, or better yet, sit on the large covered porch. Either way, you won't be farther than 50 feet from the water. If you're looking for adventure, this area has it all. Hiking biking, ATV's, snowmobile trails right down the road. But this river is known for its kayak and canoeing. It stretches nearly 7 miles, yet you end up 0.5 miles from where you started. Fish in the river or head up to Au Train lake. The lake is great for water sports, bird watching or swimming with a sand beach and campground. The sandy shores of Lake Superior are only 1 mile away. Located between Munising and Marquette, Au Train is the perfect place to settle down and enjoy all the U.P. has to offer. Firewood is available for purchase onsite

Cozy and very clean place, perfectly well located close to everything, Cindy was very kind and was always in communication with us for what we needed, we hope to return soon!
Clean and roomy. Host was a nice lady. Parking was tight for two trucks with snowmobile trailers but doable.

Nice Place
The House was nice. However, after about 12 inches of snow the driveway was not plowed until we asked. The owner was nice but, not having a plowed driveway made it difficult to pull in or out with trucks and trailers.
It was a great use of space. We split the place between 2 families and there was plenty of room. Quick and friendly response with owner. Had everything we needed and more!
We had a nice stay! :)
Pros:
Very comfortable beds!
Bathrooms & Kitchen Clean
Good internet & TV
Fairly Quiet
Beautiful River Front View
No bad odors
Nice open layout for visiting
Cons:
Cat litter pan
More upgrades than advertised. Plenty of room. Parking tight for a full size truck and 4 sled trailer, overflow parking available but not aware until after we were settled. Cabin marking gone from the main sign so difficult to find at first but easy to get to after we knew where we were going. If snowmobiling you have to ride the road to get to the trail system. Host attentive and accommodating.
We had a fantastic time! This property is beautiful and comfortable. We had our kids, grandkids and a friend with us this year. The memories we made will last a lifetime!
We really liked the location, sitting on the porch watching the river. One of the best stocked places we have stayed, had everything we needed!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Cindy was great to work with. Will definitely come back!!!
Lots of amenities, right on the river, lots of children’s games, shampoo, conditioners, plenty of towels, plenty of blankets. You cannot beat the price for this place that sleeps 12 people!!!
Great stay at a great property! Cindy is a great host who provides all of the necessary essentials for those coming from an out of town trip! The sauna and kayaks were a cherry on top!
This was a great place to stay with easy access to Pictured Rock, Munising, and Marquette. The river was lovely, the beach was close, and the house had plenty of room for us. I would recommend this place to anybody.
Great spot to get away for our family. Plenty of room for everyone and accommodations were as pictured on site. Definitely want to stay here again just a little bit longer next time 😊
We enjoyed our stay in this nice home on the Autrain River. It was clean, spacious, decorated nicely, and quite comfortable. We would love to stay again.
Cindy was a great hostess and we loved the peaceful setting. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was very nice.
