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.

We enjoyed our stay at the Robins Nest. Very clean and plenty of space. We liked looking out the window and seeing the Au Train river. Great area, we will be returning to the Robins Nest again.

SHARED OUTDOOR SPACE…BEWARE!!!!!!
I was not going to leave a review because it was just small things at first but by the end of the week, I had had enough. The main issue is that the outdoor space is SHARED, it says that no where in the listing and if other renters show up and take the space RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR FRONT WINDOW over, nothing will be done and you will just lose that amenity that you paid for…wild. We were given the wrong address from the jump so we couldn’t find our cabin and had to call the host. We walked in and every piece of furniture was different from the photos and there was not enough seating for everyone like we thought from the photos. There were dirty dishes IN the cabinets. The bed sheets were dirty, sandy before we laid down….all the little stuff wasn’t enough for us to say this place wasn’t worth it and leave a negative review but after our outdoor space was taken away by the other renters-they used it ALL DAY long, no refund to be offered and just a “I’m sorry” please do better, this was our one vacation of the year and half the week we had to leave the area to avoid the people in our front yard…left such a bad vibe over the vacation.

Perfect!
This cabin far exceeded our expectations. Spotless, plenty of towels and wash rags, seemingly endless hot water, and comfy beds. The kitchen had just about everything you could think of. The location was perfect for our home base as we explored the area. We'd recommend this adorable little cottage to anyone.

This was such a a cute little cabin and in such a nice place! It's in a nice little community and right by the river. The nearby town is quiet but friendly and it's a short drive to Muninsing. I will definitely consider staying here again next time we are in the area!

Quiet place near activities
Enjoyed the peaceful cabin location! Was a quiet getaway, and near several sights we wanted to visit. Fully stocked with everything you need. Great WiFi. Will definitely return if we are in the area.
I didn’t really get to spend much time at the property. Booked for two days and had decided to only stay one so I could see Sault Ste Marie. But after checking property had some plumbing issues that could not be resolved that evening, so ended up sleeping in my camper. What I can review is the owner/manager. Super friendly and chatty. felt like long lost family! Moreover I asked for a refund of one night and she promptly refunded my payment. If you are looking for a quiet place to rest up I can highly recommend.

Nice place!
Such a nice little place. Beds and pillows were comfortable and so was the couch. Everything was very clean. I loved the view of the river, I could've sat on the porch forever! The cottages are all pretty close together but it was nice and quiet and worked out fine for us. It was nice to be able to bring our dog and we appreciate that the price was reasonable.

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.
