The lower level has a bedroom with two double bunks, a full bathroom, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, and a family room. The basement contains a bedroom with a queen bed. Lots of room for your large group. Bedding, linens, and towels supplied but please bring your paper products. Central vacuum system for easy cleaning.

There is 250' of waterfront by the lake, a fire pit, and chairs for enjoying the breathtaking view. Throw some wood on your campfire and roast some marshmallows while you are watching the night sky and listening to the waves lap up on the shore. The shoreline can be rocky or sandy depending on the whims of Lake Superior, but there is a wonderful large sandy Lake Superior beach just west of the cabin at the mouth of the Au Train River and a swimming beach at the AuTrain Lake Campground. A rowboat comes with the cabin and boat access is nearby if you wish to bring your own boat. Canoes and boats can also be rented in AuTrain for use on AuTrain Lake or a paddle down the AuTrain River to Lake Superior.

One of the great features of this cabin is the Snorkel Stove Wood-Fired Hot Tub, a unique hot tub heated by a wood-burning stove totally submerged in the tub. The Snorkel Stove was developed in a physics laboratory at the University of Alaska for use in the north where electricity is not always available.

When you get to the cabin, first fill the hot tub with water and then add some wood in the Snorkel Stove and the hot tub will soon be ready for your use.   Relax in the hot tub after a long day enjoying the north woods and look up the starlit sky. Wood is provided.
