Travel Note
August is a very busy time of the year in Au Train and the surrounding area. A quick google search will net a variety of lodging options from rustic camping to luxury AirBnB's, so feel free to explore your options. To help, we'll list a couple of places that we are partial to. In general, lodging in Au Train will be simple. There is a block of rooms in Christmas, MI at the White Pine Lodge and would recommend this as an economy option as it's the closest hotel to the wedding venue. Wetmore (~ 20 minutes away) has some typical economy hotel chains and Munising(~15 minutes) has a wide variety including some hotels on the most southern point of Lake Superior, beautiful Munising Bay. If you're seeking a more urban experience, Marquette (~30 minutes) might be the place for you!
