About this property

Treehouse on the river.

Beautiful views anytime of year from every window. From lazy summer days kayaking down the river to bundling up and hitting the snowmobile trails in the winter and all the beautiful spring and fall colors in between this fully loaded cottage is just what you’re looking for! Great location to get you where you want to be! On the river. 1 mile away from Lake Superior. 20
minutes away from Pictured Rocks. Waterfalls all around the area!

Clean, quiet, convenient

This spot was central location for all of our excursions but beautiful and peaceful enough for days when we had no plans. I was blown away by the cleanliness and the available amenities. Would love to return in summer to utilize river access. It was a beautiful place to unwind after a day of adventuring.

Beautiful Au Train River

Enjoyed hiking & canoeing nearby & @ National Scenic Lakeshore. Cooked delicious meals in well appointed kitchen. Spent late afternoons on the deck in the sunshine & overlooking the river. Surprised by the road noise.

Lovely Getaway Spot

A nice, no fuss place to spend a week with friends (and furry friends) in the UP. A good location with plenty of nice hiking nearby. Just down the road was a beautiful full sand beach. But the real treat was the river itself and the kayaks that were available for use. Such a lovely, calm river ride that was 3+ hours route down to the nearby landing spot off the bridge. The only downside was that the property was right off the road, so the fire spot wasn't very secluded, but everything else made that such a small concession for our group. It was a good place for up to 4 people, and very pet friendly which was so nice.

House in AuTrain, Mi (UP) - A place to stay

Great Location for exploring the "U.P." centered between Marquette and Grand Marais! Had what we needed. House was oddly configured and has not been updated yet. Looks like it has a new roof and exterior, but interior old, but functional. Bathroom was small and lighting poor. Bed was very comfortable, however, all the other furniture was not as good. Kayaks on site, but not easy to transport from outside house down to the private dock. Dog friendly, which is not always easy to find. Would stay again.

Loved the location

We totally enjoyed the river behind the property. We kayaked right off the dock, watched other kayakers float by, listened to birds. The house was close enough to Munising to experience all it had. And also not too far from Marquette. Lovely!

Deceiving

The outside needs some TLC, sitting on the deck wasn’t an option. There is no AC and the majority of the blinds are busted so you cannot open them to open up the windows. Bring your own towels as the ones there are stained and rough. Also recommend your own TP, unless 1 ply is your thing. You’re also expected to clean the place before you leave, washing windows, vacuuming, etc. The tv was a joke, there was never a network connection for you to even watch it. Definitely not worth the money, we ended up packing up and leaving early.

Cabin was nice with a beautiful view but could definitely benefit from a deep cleaning. The location is great - 15 minutes from Munisng.

Great place to relax and enjoy area

The house is on a bluff above the Au Train river. It is a nice quiet spot. The interior and furnishings are very nice. They have kayaks that you can use. We kayaked up to Au Train lake which was very nice. The beds are very comfortable. The two lounge chairs and couch look inviting but unfortunately the cushions are totally shot so not very comfortable ( our only complaint). You can get to many public access beaches very easy from here and Marquette and Mussining are within easy distance. Loved having washer and dryer to use.

Wonderful Getaway

Great little cabin for us and our two dogs. Good location near munising, short drive to marquette and grand Marais. Communication with the owner was prompt. This place had everything we needed, will definitely be back!

Spring break 2024

We really enjoyed staying at the Treehouse in Au Train. It was such a beautiful home and so relaxing. We stayed for an entire week and we didn’t want to leave! Some of the things we did during our stay was fish off of the dock, hike to a couple of beautiful waterfalls, enjoyed The dog patch in Munising, and watched for Burt (a beaver) during sunset as he headed back to his den after a long days work. Hopefully we will be back to the treehouse again this was definitely our favorite Vrbo that we’ve stayed in.

Weekend waterfall adventure

The house was warm and cozy with a nice view of the river. I enjoyed looking at it while drinking my coffee in the morning. The house was fully loaded with everything you might need. There was even a cupboard full of games, books and puzzles which was a nice touch. There are a lot of waterfalls in the area to go exploring and a grocery store not far. I will definitely be staying again!

Cozy cabin for local adventuring

The property is a little worn, but clean and cozy. The shower is small, but the water is hot, there's a good wood stove, and plenty of fun things to do in the area. Would return.

Fantastic Vacation Rental

We stayed at the Treehouse for just short of a week and loved it. The home was clean, easy to get to, and an easy driving distance to many of the hikes we wanted to do. The driveway was long enough to fit our full-size truck and a 17' boat in it.

Great Location

We've stayed in Au Train before, and this house was perfect for our family of 5. Beds were extremely comfortable. River was nice to relax by in the mornings with a cup of coffee. Beaches are nice. Au Train falls is worth viewing. House had all the amenities. Camp fires at night were nice too!

Pleasant

We enjoyed the home and deck with the kayaks. The road being so close was definitely a downer, as our kids would have liked to play catch and we would have liked to let the dogs run a little.
