Cottage #2 on AuTrain River Near Lake Superior Beach, Pictured Rocks, Waterfalls
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 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.
The Cedar Cottage was my first cottage, I completely updated the interior and exterior of this place in 2009. It is perfectly setup for couples. The kitchen is fully stocked, there is A/C, WiFi and there is a 32" TV with internet streaming service. The bedroom has a pillowtop Queen which is very comfortable. Overall, it has tons of character as the walls are all original pine from the 1940's and overall has that UP feel. I have been told it's "very cabiny", cozy and cute.... Lounge on the deck, or down by the river! It is my most popular cottage among the 7 available.
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.

Perfect
The cozy little cabin was perfect for the two of us on our visit to Munising and Pictured Rocks. Conveniently located to the sights, it offered all the amenities we needed including some helpful information on the area. Our host, Cory, was very responsive in advance to our questions while planning our trip. We would recommend this cabin for any other couple.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin was small but cozy; we didn’t need much room any way as we spent our days out enjoying Michigan. It was a CABIN which we liked a lot but I’ve seen comments from people here and at other cabins where it seems people expected a hotel vibe. We loved the fire place, TV, and location. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway for the wife and I. Cabin was perfect. Very quiet, very remote and very simple. Fishing right out back and good food all nearby. We explored all over the upper peninsula. Had a great time & would definitely come back.
