Modern 2 Bedroom 1 Bath Just Steps From The Au Train River
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 10 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.

A lovely little cabin!
The property was very clean and the location is great! We weren’t expecting the kitchen to be as stocked as it was which was a great surprise! The host responded to questions quickly and was very helpful! We would definitely stay here again.

Ice Fest Getaway
My boyfriend and I, along with our pup, came up to the UP for Michigan Ice Fest and stayed at Cindy's cabin. It was quiet, comfortable, and cozy with a well-stocked kitchen and wonderful living and sleeping space. Cindy was kind enough to let us check-in early as well as check out a few hours after the scheduled checkout time, and was very quick to respond to all of my messages. We will definitely be back! Cannot recommend enough.

Wonderful weekend stay!
We enjoyed our time while visiting this breathtaking area of Michigan. Took my family waterfall hunting in the area so this was perfectly placed for all the ones close together. We got officially engaged at Scott's falls. Cabin was fully stocked with all necessary needs for cooking bathing and sleeping. You could go with nothing but clothes and a few groceries and be good for the weeknd. Thank you for the beautiful time, we will be back!

Cozy little cabin in a perfect little spot.
We had stayed in Au Train earlier this summer and all I could think about was bringing my kids back to see how beautiful it was. This little cabin was perfect for us, Cindy went above and beyond to make sure everything we might need was supplied, and she is just a sweet person who wants to open her cabin to families and people to enjoy the beauty the U.P. has to offer. My kids had a fantastic time ans we have already booked a week for next aummer! Im counting down the days! Also, my son looooooved the little bunk bed! Cutest thing ever! And I need to find out where the smazinf UP decor came from, i especially loved the license plate pictures. Thank you so much for the perfect little place to lay our heads, we appreciate it so much!
