Excellent stay!

This is our second year staying with this property owner /location. This cabin is phenomenal! It is close to Munising, the river location makes kayaking during our stay so easy, and we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our week. Highly recommend and will stay again!

Cozy cabin

We had a very good stay at this cabin which we thought was a very good value for the price. The second bathroom was great for four adults on vacation. The location was very handy for activities in Munising and Marquette.

Great stay

Owner was quick at responding to messages. The place was in a great location. I went with family and friends and we hiked pictured rock National lakeshore. There were many amenities and came fully stocked with everything you need. Will stay here again.

Cute River Cabin

The cabin sits right on the Au Train River and we got to watch kayaks and canoes float by. The cabin had great beds, large tv and a wonderful electric fireplace.

Cabin on Au Train River

Smooth process booking. Good communication from owner. Cabin on River as described. Traveling with a dog, and she loved the river access! It was chilly the first day, but the electric fireplace warm the cabin quickly. By day 3 needed air conditioning, and that was fine. Would book again.

Old Time Cottage Charm

The location along the River is charming with a long porch to sit on and enjoy the view. The cabin was okay with well equipped kitchen. Furniture is old and worn out and could use some upgrades.

Fabulous great place. One thing that would of added to the listing would be a fire pit for the cabin. But just fabulous. We will definitely be back later this year and next.

Vrbo picture is inaccurate

Clean, older cabin. The picture shows a simple white sided cabin. It does not show the cabin 6 feet to the side, with all kinds of stuff in the the yard. Also, the area has some nice smaller cabins, and some pretty run down cabins. Inside, just fine, outside, not so nice

UP vacation

Location was excellent for all our group wanted to do. The cabin was in stages of upgrades. Many parts needed serious upgrades. The kitchen was not well stocked. There were virtually no cleaning supplies except for dish and hand soap. With some work this could be an ideal cabin.

Great space. Not as clean as I’d like…

Very convenient 2 bathrooms. Good price. I wish it was a little cleaner. Nice to be right on the river. Great spot between Munising and Marquette. Furniture was very dated. That being said, if I knew the sheets were clean I’d stay again. Cory is easy to communicate with.

CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK

Not only was the cottage beautiful, it had everything we needed. I didn't have to worry about packing anything except clothes and food...it truly was a home away from home. The river is beautiful and peaceful, and the location was perfect. Although it is around other cottages, it still feels secluded, but with easy access to more activities than you could possibly squeeze into one trip. Best of all, the owner, Cory, was responsive, accommodating, and kind. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in / around Munising and actually am looking into a return visit for this fall!

Retro cottage

This cottage has great views of the river from a large front porch. It is set up to feel like a cottage from the 70s, but everything works. The kitchen was well equipped. The wifi was good. The walls are thin, and the ceiling in the loft is low but it works. The water was unpleasant even using the new Britta provided by the owner. There was a nice supply of puzzles and games provided. There are kayak rentals a short walk away, and it is an easy drive to many outdoor activities. The owner responded quickly to our questions and requests.

Au Train Da Loft Cottage

Property was located next to Au Train River. The cottage had everything we needed. It is an open plan so you can hear others in the house but it worked out just fine with our group. Good price and It was close enough to everything we wanted to do without having to stay right in Munising. We did have an issue with the air conditioner turning on and off but worked with the property owner to get this fixed quickly. We all said we would stay in this cottage again should we come back to this area.

DO NOT STAY HERE

Spiders everywhere. Property/grounds in disrepair. No firepit in front of unit but other firepits were full of garbage. Outside plastic chairs broken. Grill filthy. When we contacted the owner to say we were leaving due to misrepresentation of property his comment was "OK". not how can we make it better. Lucky we were able to find some place else much nice to stay. Would not have stayed there for free.

Not what we expected

We knew this was an older property, but didn't realize there would be conduit on the outside of walls (wasn't pictured). Upon arrival, we stepped out of our vehicle and into dog poop. When we walked in, the kitchen table wasn't wiped off. A few other unexpected things were broken furniture and uncomfortable beds. It's not a fact, but we think we heard mice in the walls in the night. Good chance it was true though because there was a trap in the closet. I'd say it sleeps 6, not 8 unless you can fit into a very small space in the loft.Thankful soap and towels were provided. Due to weather and uncomfortable beds, we checked out a night early... we had our bucket list completed.

Beautiful setting right on the Au Train River

Wonderful U.P. setting. Lots of fishing, kayaking, touring, site-seeing opportunities around. Very clean cottage. Has pretty much of whatever you need. The turn-around time was beyond prompt when we needed more amenities. Even a Wifi issue was corrected within 20 minutes of calling, and that included escalation to Spectrum. Bring plenty of bug spray. Mosquitos were THICK, but so was the entire U.P. June of 2023. Perhaps owners should spray the area so river, firepit and grill could be enjoyed without spraying yourself. River is so clear and beatiful. Plenty of fish, turtles and ducks to be seen. Best river I have ever kayaked on. Mostly 3-5' deep, no rocks but plenty of trees to navigate through. 5 miles to first bridge + 2 miles more to Lk Superior. Only 1.5 mile drive to drop our trucks at Lk Superior. Canoe/kayak rentals available. Lots of room for 6-8 adults (we had 6). 2 bathrooms w/showers.

Perfect, cozy and comfortable

We (myself and two small children) have rented a handful of cabins and this is the first one that didn't give one kid or the other a scary vibe. Everything was great and we hope to come back during warmer, calmer weather so we can visit Pictured Rocks. The check-out rules are also incredibly simple: basically, just tidy up and take the garbage to the dumpster. If you're coming from the lower peninsula, I highly recommend taking the rt 123 route and stopping at Tahquamenon Falls, which only adds an hour to your driving time. If you're going rock hunting around Two Hearted River/Crisp Point, learn about two-track roads and ***avoid them like the plague*** unless you're entirely confident in your 4x4 vehicle. We got stuck on one next to the "airport" at Mouth of Two Hearted River and we're lucky to have had cell service to connect to 911 and the tow company. (Even the locals were surprised.) If we hadn't, we'd probably still be stuck there. You can get direct, easy access to rocks at Grand Marais, which is only an hour away from the cabin. Just take 28-> the literal end of 77 to avoid dirt roads. Falling Rock cafe & bookstore in Munising has great food an a little indoor play area for kids, as well as books and games.

Nice Cabin

Very nice location. Nice atmosphere and cabin like experience. One bed downstairs was very nice and one upstairs was also. The other 2 beds need upgrades but would work for kids. Some furniture upgrades would be nice too. But we would stay again if we ever went up that way.
