About this property

AuTrain Lake Sunrise Cabin w/Dock, private lakeside firepit. Near Pictured Rocks

This Cabin is nestled on the southeast shore of AuTrain Lake with it's own dock and deck overlooking the lake. It is a short drive to the Beach on Lake Superior and the AuTrain River (3 miles). This is a great location for spending time on the lake, or as a home base for all of the local attractions this area has to offer. Within 20 minutes you are in Munising where you can do the Pictured Rocks cruise, Shipwreck Tour or Kayak tour and many more. Munising is the start of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and there's days worth of activities there and the surrounding area. See over a dozen waterfalls all within 30 minutes from the Cabin.

The cabin is exactly what you would expect if you are looking to stay in an original UP cabin on the lake. As you enter, you'll see the original custom woodwork from when it was built in the 50's. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking meals for up to 8 guests. As you walk past, you'll enter the main living area that has seating for 8 and a nice big TV with WiFi and Netflix for streaming. Located along the North wall there are the 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a queen bedroom, a double bedroom and the third bedroom has bunks with 4 twin beds for a total capacity of 8. The East wall opens to the deck that overlooks the lake.
There's seating on the deck to enjoy the amazing sunrises over the lake, or take a chair out to sit on the dock.
Feel free to bring your boat, there's a public boat launch 3 miles down the road and dock it right at the cabin. There's room for your boat trailer on the property.
There is a gas grill big enough to cook meals for everyone and a nice fire pit area right next to the water. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the UP next to the lake with a fire, outdoors, each other and the stars.....

This is a pet friendly cabin for responsible pet owners

Cozy cabin with great lake views

We had a great time staying at this cabin. It was an easy location with short travel (<1hr) to Marquette or Munising. The private firepit and swing added a nice touch for relaxing at night after adventures during the day. Au Train lake provides beautiful views. The Sunrise cabin had all the amenities we needed during our stay. We would come back to stay here again for another trip to the Upper Peninsula

Perfect and Peaceful Location

This cabin was perfect for us to stay at for a relaxing vacation in the UP. Half hour drive to pictured rocks for our day hikes and the beautiful Au Train river is right down the road to rent a kayak and enjoy a beautiful paddle down the river. Cabin has a nice beach right out the back door and the view is amazing.

Beautiful Autumn Stay

We loved staying at this cozy cabin! The lake and property were amazing and peaceful. Overall, the cabin was immaculate and just what we needed after a couple of outdoor hiking and sightseeing days. We'd love to return to enjoy more of the lake and river.

Perfect location

Close to Munising, pictured rocks, so many waterfalls and hiking trails. Well stocked kitchen, nice beds. Only little inconvenience is there is no central air. Had a HUGE AC unit though that kept it cool but bedrooms a little stuffy at night. BUT multiple box fans at cabin for use to help circulate cool air. Perfect spot for adventure during the day and chilling on your own beach in the evenings.

Great cabin!

The cabin was exactly as described and perfect for our family with 2 adults, 3 teens, and 2 children. The private beach area was amazing for the kids to play, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and the location is perfect if you are looking for a place to get away from busy life! Communication was great before and during our stay when I had questions. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

UP adventures

Excellent gateway for UP adventures- short distance to kayak and canoe rentals, beach at the Superior and wonderful food spots (try the pasties!). Cabin itself has a nicely equipped kitchen, spacious living area, outdoors sitting with swing, gas grill and fire pit. Loved the skylights.

Annual UP trip

2 couples, 4 kids, and a small dog equal a fantastic weekend!!! We rented a pontoon from a local place on the lake and played on the lake all day. The cottage is adorable, and stocked with everything you should need. Nice deck, outside swing, and a great fire pit!! We all had a great weekend relaxing in our happy place ;-)

Could have been great

Look I'm not one to write reviews, but I thought I should let the management company know they can do better. We got there and found no key like described. We had no hot water the TV would not show anything and they left us with a half a roll of toilet paper . Plus we had to sweep up someone else's dog hair. Now having said all that when I contacted the manager he got people on it. But we couldn't leave unless we packed all our stuff back up we didn't want to leave the place open and just leave we had rented a pontoon and wanted to use it. So we waited for the maintenance person to bring a key and turn the gas on to light the hot water heater. Wouldn't have been a big deal about the toilet paper but they advertised it as a staple so we didn't bring any, not cool. The dog was not that big of a deal we brought a dog so we know they shed. I say all this could have been avoided if someone did a walk through before we showed up at the very least.

My wife and I loved this cabin & the location! Perfect honeymoon retreat!

Very spacious cabin, right on the water with a private dock was the perfect honeymoon get away! Beautiful sunrises & sunsets everyday. Neptune & the milkyway was amazing every night. We even experienced a glimpse of the northern lights. This was my wife's first time in the UP. Being from Florida, she was in awe. Centrally located and beautiful scenic routes for our drives to Munising, Marquette, Paradise and Witch Lake. We can't wait for our next visit to the UP and will definitely stay here again.

The location of this property was so much better than we had even expected! A fire pit right on a private lake beach with a swing and glider made the evenings so relaxing. Meanwhile inside the cabin was cozy and fully stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. We loved our stay!!

My fiance and I stayed here with our dog and we loved it! It is in a great location to travel to Marquette and Munising. We hiked all day and came back to the cabin in the evening to rest. If we had one complaint it was sand on the floor, but that's to be expected with your own mini private beach!

Nice older cabin that could use a little sprucing up in a lovely location on a great lake

It's a cottage/cabin, not a house. 3 bedrooms--two with double beds and one with 4 bunks. Great porch overlooking a beautiful lake. Sandy beach but turns mucky when you step into the lake. Huge TV and excellent internet. Decent kitchen. Really needs a washer/dryer unit--would fit in the hall closet just fine.

Quite but very outdated

Nice place, but for the money the furniture and beds were extremely uncomfortable. Was not cleaned very well. The lake is very shallow by the dock. Have to get out 40-50 yards to fish.

About the host

Hosted by Cory Cole

Host profile image
Plain and simply, I am a Yooper. I live locally year round and am a wealth of knowledge when it comes to exploring our area. I graduated high school and college here and I am an avid outdoors-man, I camp, hike, bike, kayak, ski, snowshoe, ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile and Jeep nearly the entire U.P. and if you have heard of it, chances are I've been there, or done that. I also know some places 'slightly off the radar' if you are looking to get away from the tourist areas. Just ask, I'll be happy to give you advice.

Why they chose this property

I manage this property for my friends Jr. and Susie. They live in Ohio and have owned the cabin next to this one for many years. They are avid outdoor enthusiasts and explore the area every time they visit. They were excited when the property became available for purchase. They now own a nice slice of heaven here in the UP and they are excited to offer this cabin to guests to enjoy just as they do. Myself, I own/manage 13 other properties here in AuTrain and have done so since 2009. Since that time, I have been providing people a great place to stay, and the best opportunity to enjoy our beautiful area.

What makes this property unique

It is on the shores of AuTrain Lake. 3 miles away is one of the best beaches in all of Michigan, and 15 minutes away is Pictured Rocks, dozens of waterfalls, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, biking trails and ATV/snowmobiling trails.
