We had a great time staying at this property! It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the proximity to AuTrain beach and the cute grocery store and ice cream/pizza place up the street!
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!
Beautiful all wood cabin -lodge. Good beds and well furnished Warm and clean. But it's not an isolated cabin in the woods. It's on the river next to several other places .
Would recommend it and would use it again if in the area.
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 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.
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!
Our annual birthday bash with our 3 daughters, son-n-laws, and 7 grandchildren has become a destination event. Over the past decade we have converged the Rockies, the Smokies, Popular Lakes, and Beaches. I feel like we can rate places with some well-rounded experience. The Reel Inn was not disappointing in the slightest! We arrived Friday late, Chilled at the lodge on Saturday and took in a canoe, kayak, paddle boat trip up to Lake Superior and back. Sunday we drove the scenic, 2-hour drive over to Mackinac Island. I recommend The Reel Inn for Families, Fishing Trips with friends, or a simple kickback week/weekend. We plan to come back to experience a winter stay as well. Matt was very responsive and timely. Great Place! Great Location! Great Host!
Everything was made easy start to finish. Matt and Holly were absolutely fantastic hosts. Someone in our party left an item behind and they were easily reachable for us to make arrangements to pick it up on the way back out of town. They were very communicative before our check in and were easy to contact. They really have made it a destination with the look of the cabin, the super comfy beds and pillows; generous amounts of bath and kitchen towels; kitchen equipped enough to cook, 2 refrigerators, extra bed linens, industrial coffee maker, outdoor seating, fire pit and a multitude of options if its a rainy day. Games, dvds, 2 huge TVs. The location was absolutely amazing! Even though we had a family next door we were able to have an intimate bonfire without feeling encroached upon. The Reel inn is definitely smaller than the wide angle photos on the Vrbo page but that didn't take away from our party of 4. Holly and Matt have definitely taken the time to make sure this property is cared for. The only bummer, which we worked around because the kitchen was stocked with pans, was that the grill wouldnt stay lit. Over all, wonderfully comfy and cozy experience. So close to EVERYTHING while feeling secluded, even eith neighbors close by. Recommend.
