Superior River Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Superior River Cabin! Although the weather was not the greatest, we enjoyed the beautiful landscape and the coziness of the cabin. There is plenty of room for a family and a very nice living space to enjoy one another's company. Only downside was there were no forks or spoons, only knives! Otherwise, this was a great place to stay for our sight-seeing vacation to the UP. :)

We stayed at Superior River Cabin for the weekend and enjoyed every minute. Very peaceful spot and the cabin has everything you need!

This place was clean, fully stocked, and perfect for our stay. Thank you for making this getaway a memorable one.

CABIN FEEDBACK:
My family has vacationed at many rental places throughout the Eastern US. This cabin was one of the best! Welcoming open space of cooking, dining, watching movies, and playing games. Very well stocked kitchen, towels and linens provided and lots of small amenities available (previous folks have left spices and plastic baggies in the kitchen; hobo pie makers and hotdog cooking long implements out by the fire pit). Yes, the towels may be a bit frayed, and the pots and pans are used, but hey, they are there! (Which is more than can be said for most other vacation rental places). Terrific to have a washer / dryer. Great Wi-Fi and smart TV.

The location is wonderful. It felt remote and secluded - a river in your back yard and Lake Superior minutes away by car. At the same time, it is walking distance to kayak rentals. a 15 minute easy drive to Munising; 45 to Marquette (grocery stores in both places).

One suggestion: Pest control. Previous reviews have commented on the animals in the walls of the upstairs back bedroom. My adult daughter slept downstairs on the couch several nights rather than listen to the animals scratch. Address this problem, please.

LEASING AGENT FEEDBACK
Leasing agency: tighten up your processes. Despite wording on the website, apparently everyone needs to sign a contract. Reserving through the rental site, I was unaware of the contract until I reached out the week renting. I had to send multiple emails to get the contract, sign it, and receive a PDF. The leasing office should drive this process, not me.

Leasing agency communications were terse, often requiring follow-up clarification emails from me. Agency: convey at the start that all communication is done by you through email (the location has sporadic cell phone coverage) Renters: check your emails BEFORE arriving. If you wait until you are standing at the cabin, you may not be able to read your emailed access code, leaving you stran

We had a bachelor party at the cabin, and it was very fun. I'm 25 years old and this was the first rental I've ever done. They made it very easy, and with the two payments, I didn't have to use my credit card so that's a bonus! We really enjoyed the cabin and the river! We actually paddled up stream to AuTrain lake (super easy, almost no current). We met a few neighbors when their dogs paid us a visit, and everyone was nice. Can't wait to rent it again and show more people how cool it is. Keep in mind, this isn't in the woods, you are in a dirt road neighborhood.

My group enjoyed staying at this house. It was cozy, spacious, and set up well for us to hang out together. Plenty of couches next to the dining table allowed us to socialize comfortably.

The folks at Pictured Rocks Vacation Rentals are also super professional and gave clear instructions and communication.

Manager's Response

Had a great time at the Superior River Cabin. Great location. Beautiful river. Family friendly. Will be back.

A nice older cabin on the river. Nice location for SxS riding in the UP. Relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin on the river. We were close to many of the places we wanted to visit and enjoyed the quiet setting.

This cabin was a perfect, serene get away from everything but close enough to town to run to the store when needed. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals and eat them on the covered porch.

Family of 5 loved the Up! We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The location was perfect. We felt secluded and safe. Cabin was very clean and tidy. The cabin had most everything we needed during our stay. If we ran out of something or needed anything there was a local grocery in Au Train. We were in walking distance to Au Train river canoe rental and they were friendly and helped make our river kayak experience great. We were close to the ATV trails, waterfalls and beaches. Easy drive to Mackinac island for a day. We used Grand Eilyn Photography for a family photoshoot on the beach of Lake Superior. Overall 10/10! Bring bug spray, and watch your step on stairs.

The location of the river cabin was convenient with fishing so accessible. Plenty of parking and the firepit had plenty of Adirondack chairs. The cabin was stocked with more than enough blankets and towels however the towels were very worn and frayed. On the surface, the cabin seemed clean enough but it could definitely use a good spring clean. You might add a screen in the upstairs bedroom with the balcony. Every night we could hear a critter messing around in the ceiling above the dining room table. Something also chewed open some of our snacks. The rug by the front door kept getting caught when someone opened the door.

Quiet, calm, and refreshing. Wonderful location for both new UP visitors as well as yoopers who have moved elsewhere and are home for a visit. We loved the kitchen and were easily able to prepare meals. The Big Lake is a short drive away, but the waterfront property will help scratch your water view itch. This property can comfortably sleep 6-8 if not more. Overall, a truly great experience with friends and family.

Beautiful place, easy to access, and family friendly

Cabin is very nice, location on the river is stunning. Fun to have your morning coffee and watch the ducks and swans float by. For snowmobiling, the trailheads are a bit of a hike, but gas is nice and close. Really nice to have the garage for the sleds overnight.

3 couples enjoyed a week hiking. The rental was very spacious. The living and dining area were excellent. Directions and helps were well written up. The beds were comfortable. Loved the place and would come again.

Great location! Loved the fire pit!

We stayed at this property for two weeks, and it was a very good choice. The location allowed us to easily visit family in Chatham and Harvey nearly every day. The river at this location was free of any downed trees and debris, which made it an excellent place for the kids to swim and play in the water. We hosted visiting family dinners, hiked the shores north of Munising, swam in Lake Superior (1.6 miles north), kayaked up to Au Train Lake three times, and kayaked all they way to Lake Superior twice (about 7.5 miles). The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The washer and dryer were perfect, the stove and refrigerator and microwave were in excellent condition, and there was lots of kitchen counter space. The well water took a little getting used to, but we mostly drank bottled water. We really enjoyed this property, and we are likely to book it again for our next visit.

Worked perfect for our summer vacation. The staff was awesome to work with and very accommodating

The cabin was better than my expectations. It was well stocked, very cozy, clean, and in a decent location. The property management was very hands-off but helpful and easy to work with when needed, which was was great to have access to a garage to store our motorcycles and kayaks we along. I only wish we would have received a little bit more information of what was all in the cabin so I wouldn't have had to worry about packing some basics (information on kitchen supplies and types of coffee makers/grill ect.) Which is pretty minor since it was all there. Other than that my only complaint is that at night you could hear some kind of critters in the walls of the upstairs porch room.

The Cabin was in a good location for our group to go snowmobiling. It was comfortable to stay in. The property manager did a great job of taking care of us. I would recommend to others this is a nice cabin to stay in.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was warm and comfortable. Everything was in working order and clean. The view of the winter river was really great, and we loved going in and out of Au Train to area sites and experiences. On our last evening there, we did meet a resident mouse -- just FYI. He seemed happy and comfy there!!

Thanks for the great stay!

Excellent cabin! Very, very clean interior. Surprised by how well furnished and equipped it is- has everything from heated blankets, casserole dishes, tea pot, binoculars and birding books, etc. Absolutely recommend and plenty of room to accommodate large groups. One thing to be mindful of is that all bedrooms are upstairs, and the stairs are very high and narrow which could be difficult for elderly guests. We had no issues and loved the place. Beautiful views of the river.

Had a great time, very nice place would stay again and probably well stay again

The place was great! I’d recommend it to a friend!

We had a great stay. The house was clean and very comfortable. The beds were also comfortable. We had never been in this area but the location was great. We enjoyed the Au Train river and had easy access to Marquette, Munising and Pictured Rocks. This was a very good home base for adventuring in area.
