We had an absolutely great time staying at the property. My parents stayed in the cabin. My sister and my family (3 adults, 4 kids) stayed in the larger lodge right next door. Location is on an off branch of the main river. 1 minute car ride, 5 minute bike ride, 30 minute canoe ride to beach. Beach is spectacular! Kids LOVED swimming in the lake and river. Property and interior were spotless. House has everything you need. Communication and check in was easy. Rental includes grill, bikes, and canoe. Kayaks were available to rent. Small grocery store, ice cream, and pasties in town 1/4 mile away. Munising 15 minute drive. Au Train falls 15 minute drive (highly recommend). Can’t say enough good things. We loved our stay!!

Beautiful Modern Cabin on the Au Train River

My family and I enjoyed staying at Reel Inn. The location is fantastic. We appreciate the canoe which we used to explore the river. Each evening after dinner we sat by the fire as the sun set.The modern cabin was clean with everything you’d need. Central air was appreciated! Clearly the owners put a lot of time into picking out the furnishings. The location was great — Au Train is one of the last small undeveloped beach towns in Michigan. The beach is beautiful — and huge.Lastly, it’s a short drive to Munising for your Pictured Rocks tour, groceries, etc. (Although I’d recommend stocking up at Meijer in Marquette first.)

Hidden gem near Lake Superior!

This was one of the best rentals we have had! The home was beautiful and very clean. We also appreciated how the home had everything we needed for our stay including clean linens and towels and paper products. We loved canoeing on the river every day and the short walk to Lake Superior was great. The neighborhood is also so peaceful. We will definitely be back!

The cabin was very nice. I do have one concern. When I opened the shower, there was a dirty, very hard white wash cloth on the floor. I removed it and put it in the hamper. Overall, the cabin was very clean. Thank you!

I would return

This house was very clean with comfortable beds and a lovely view. I really appreciate all the thoughtful touches the owners supplied such as a well-stocked kitchen, paper towels, and hand soap. My family would definitely return someday. The listing says the house is 2 blocks from Lake Superior but unless we couldn't find a path to get us there, it's more of a drive or bike ride. That's not a deal breaker for us, but maybe should be updated in the listing. Also, come prepared with bottled water. I grew up with well water but found the water here undrinkable. It was completely fine for showers, laundry, and cooking. There isn't a safety issue, just a bad smell and taste. We had no problem buying water but would have preferred to arrive knowing that. This is a lovely home and you can tell the owners go above and beyond to make it comfortable. I've rented many VRBOs and this one shines as being extra special.

When you think of the UP, you think of a cozy wood cabin. Thats exactly what this was. Being right on water was an added bonus. There is a local restaurant, syore and gas station within 5 minutes that has whatever you need. It also sits close to munising and Marquette. Excellent place

Weekend Stay

Cabin and surrounding property was clean. We had an issue with fruit flies as soon as we walked in, but after a day we were able to get them under control with a homemade trap. Property had a wonderful view of the water and the location was quiet. It was nice having a canoe available free of charge. We did contact owners about the fruit flies and they responded quickly stating they were already aware of the problem Overall, it was a nice weekend and we would stay again.

Perfect cabin near Pictured Rocks

The cabin was great and had everything we needed. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood, and backs up to the Au Train river. We enjoyed using the canoe there. As shown in one of the hosts’ photos, note that the cabin is extremely close to another lodge cabin. As long as neighbors are respectful, it works out ok and you do have a semi private back yard space. Short drive to Munising and all the great spots in the Pictured Rocks area. The hosts were helpful in resolving a couple of issues we had with the WiFi and the neighbors.

Honeymoon and Tranquility

This log cabin was wonderful! the Bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes so we could cook and not have to leave for food. Temperature control was excellent. We took the canoe to the lake and it was beautiful canoe ride. The water was gorgeous and the launch area was very private. The neighborhood was a bit noisy. We had hoped by leaving before the actual holiday, we'd avoid loud parties, but apparently the neighborhood does a party 7-midnight most of the week on the July 4th week. Still, if we hadn't been on our honeymoon and was there with kids, I think we would have loved the celebration. The outside furniture and bonfire were close and very comfortable and the inside was soothing and gorgeous. Thank you for a wonderful honeymoon! Katlyn
