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!

This is a great hub for the many hiking trails nearby. Fresh Pasties are within walking distance at the nearby corner store, and an ice cream / souvenir shop is only a little further down the road. We chose a place on a river to launch kayaks from just to explore and take the winding trip to Lake Superior. The river in front of the Cabin is a dead end leg off the main river so you likely will not see a lot of river traffic. The lily pads and weeds may keep you from swimming in front of the cabin, but the river outlet at Lake Superior is a popular swimming spot with nice sandy beach.

The cabin was peaceful with a view of the river and just a few blocks from Lake Superior. We enjoyed walking to the ice cream shop near Lake Superior and walking around the neighborhood, as well as paddle boating and grilling at the cabin. The cabin was close to plenty of waterfalls, boat tours, hikes, and other activities so we could easily stop back between activities. The only part I didn't love was the floor didn't seem very insulated (it wasn't cold but sounded loud for walking and my kids are stompy in general). However, the sliding door was right there with convenient chairs to step outside and grab some peace when it got loud. It was a chillier and wet few days but we stayed toasty warm inside

We had a great stay.Very clean house. Such a perfect location for trips to Marquette, Grand island, and Munising. We were not able to truly enjoy the river, due to the weather. But would love to stay here again and kayak. Awesome sunset at the beach on Lake Superior.

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

Great river location

Stayed with some friends for fishing. It was great that we could put in canoes at the lake and take them right to the cabin doorsteps. Everything was clean and maintained. Easy check-in and out. Fast wi-if if needed. The corner store down the street comes in handy for last minute things.

Great getaway

We have stayed with Matt and Holly many times in their UP properties. They communicate well and quickly, and everything always runs smoothly. Au Train is a beautiful area that is really quiet. This is always a pleasant surprise for a place of such beauty. The beach at Au Train, all of the waterfalls, Presque Isle -- lots to do and see if you like the outdoors. Highly recommend the area, and staying with them.

Family Stay in Au Train

The Reel Inn cabin was a perfect base for exploring the area around Munising. Our family of four stayed in the cabin for several days. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Grand Isle boat tours and Marquette are an easy drive away. We walked to Au Train beach in the evenings and used the on-site kayaks to paddle the river on our down day. The cabin is comfortable and well equipped. Matt was very responsive to all of our requests/questions. A great option if visiting the area.

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.

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.

Kayaking at the national lakeshore

We enjoyed our stay here. Cabin was well furnished and clean. Very close to Munising and launching point for our tour of the National Lakeshore. Grocery close as well. We loved being able to walk to the beautiful beach on Lake Superior. We also used the provided canoe and paddled out to the mouth of the Au Train river. The neighborhood is nice and neighbors were thoughtful and quiet. Communication with the hosts was excellent and they were very accommodating as well as provided great information concerning kayaking in the national lakeshore.

Excellent Riverside cabin!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Reel inn Cabin! We enjoyed fires in the riverfront fire pit and canoeing on the Au Train River. It was easy to explore Munissing and the Pictured Rocks National Seashore from this location. The cabin itself was very clean and felt more spacious than it looked in pictures. The kitchen was well equipped and we made use of the grill as well. We opted to drink bottled water because of the hardness of the water. We learned we had to be careful on the loft stairs which were a bit slick when wearing socks. Overall it was a wonderful stay in very peaceful location. We would definitely go back!

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

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.
