Let's start with a fully-furnished house. Add lawn and snow removal service. A generator if the power goes out. Excellent WIFI. A quiet lake with views and everything you need to enjoy it like a fire pit, grill and kayaks. A location that's convenient to so many UP attractions. But mostly it's Jeff and Angie and their customer service mindset. They personally answer every call and text and respond immediately. All the cottages are meticulously maintained and upgraded. It's a great place to stay whether you are here for work, fun, or both.

My son has been able to fish off shore in front of our cabin, from the dock and we took a cruise south in one of the resort boats. Carley & Dan run a clean, organized and family friendly resort and have recommendations for fun activities in the area. This week we plan to fish, rent kayaks and maybe even go rafting.

This place is definitely dog friendly. The cabin was just what we needed. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, the A/C kept it cool despite temps in the upper 80s, the kitchen along with the charcoal grill met our dining needs. The only thing that I would have changed is a little more space in the bathroom - it is tiny. Loved waking up and enjoying my morning coffee overlooking the river. We'll definitely come back next time we are in Iron Mountain.

Northwoods Resort is a great place to stay on the UP! It's a family owned business with a welcoming…read moreand knowledgeable staff. It's nestled on the shores of Lake Au Train, which is much warmer than Lake Superior but puts you close enough to explore all the best of the UP & Lake Superior cruises. Each cabin has a fire pit and grill, you can buy wood on site, and many of the cabins have been completely remodeled to include both charm and amenities (AC, tv with streaming options etc). The resort itself is small and would be a great place for a family reunion. There are plenty of boating options and the sand family that owns the resorts also owns a business up there road renting kayaks and canoes. There is a convenience store and pizza place within walking distance and the Pictured Rocks and downtown Munising are just a short drive away. We loved our visit and we'll definitely be back!

Reservations were by phone and I received a confirmation email with instructions on where to meet. The young man who checked us in was friendly and helpful. We walked the 1/3 mile up the road to the put-in, though the resort offers a free shuttle as well. The river is glorious: a 7-mile easy float through mostly uninhabited areas in the U.P., with clear water, towering pines, sand beaches, and wildlife. The ducks are very friendly and will approach looking for handouts. We enjoyed our 2+ hours on the river and will definitely be back.

You also didn't need to go too far to enjoy the towns around Au Train. There were a total of 11 people and the place sleeps a good 14. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed our time at the cabin. Ages 2-80 and there was something nearby for all to do. They also have cable and WiFi in the cabin as well so if you want a little down time it's available to you. It was a 6-6:30 hr drive for us but it was worth it. I definitely recommend this place if you have a large family looking to enjoy some time together out in nature. They do offer a smaller cabin next door to this place as well.

Very comfortable--if you keep in mind that we are talking cabins. Wi-fi, satellite TV, hot tub, plus accouterments you need (like canoes, firewood & heads on the wall). Towels & linens are supplied. But don't expect a dishwasher. I have no complaints, really. Not everything works perfectly, but then would they call it "cabins" if the facility operated like a 4* hotel? What would it take to get a five star rating out of me? I'm not sure. Maybe EITHER more rustic & secluded OR more luxurious & refined?

The owner of Crystal Waters Resort not only pulled over to make sure I was ok, he even loosened the lugnuts for me so I could change my tire. He even waited and blocked off the street so I would be safe while doing so. This type of hospitality helping a stranger, I can only imagine how much above and beyond he would go for his guest. I have a lot of family in the area and visit often, I will be recommending this property to everyone I know. Thank you for your help!
