Secluded Boardman River home with a HOT TUB, Smart TV, Kyaks. Dogs ok

Three-night minimum in prime summer.

This charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin on the Boardman River welcomes up to four guests and is open year-round. The stunning location on the river will simply take your breath away.

Walk into a main room with spectacular views from the entire living area! The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and smart TV. The small loft that is accessible by a ladder is located above the living room (best for older kids/young adults) and has a twin bed. There is a futon in the living area as well.

Outdoors, enjoy the spacious deck with a great view of the river. Hop in one of the three kayaks provided for you and find where the river goes! If you're feeling like warmer water, take a dip in the hot tub located on the deck.

There is a canoe/kayak portage just minutes down the road or launch from the property on a slower part of the river. The house is located just 11 miles from downtown Traverse City and 14 miles from the Interlochen Center for the Arts.

Winter Get Away

Peaceful, the river is close and viewed out of every window. The hot tub was hot and ready; my dog and I had a wonderful long weekend, hiked the trails, enjoyed the snow, even made it to Sleeping Bear. Great location and just a short drive to trails, Traverse City, and all the surrounding areas. If you stay in winter, a 4 wheel drive is a must, the driveway access is not for the faint of heart. My Mazda had no problems tho! While staying there I broke the coffee pot karafe, and another was dropped off promptly. Had a lovely stay and a relaxing weekend. Just what I was looking for! " Would stay here again!"

Winter Stay

We loved staying here. We came up when there was a lot of snow on the ground and especially enjoyed the hot tub. The river running right by the property is breathtaking. A beautiful, secluded spot in the woods was the perfect recipe for a getaway with my husband. Cabin was clean. And we were thankful to have 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The views through the panoramic windows in this cabin were amazing. The tub off the deck was amazing with the views! Everything was just as expected inside and out. We would definitely stay again! We called and asked for an additional night. They accommodated us and they were very easy to deal with.

Relaxation

We absolutely loved this low key cabin that allowed us to just stop and relax The river is beautiful. The hottub was perfect. We realized after booking that there was no a/c… (my fault for not reading). However, the bedroom was set up with a fan in the window so it was perfectly chilled while sleeping which is what we love! Hope to visit again next year!!

Beautiful and peaceful setting

The setting for this property is absolutely beautiful. The Boardman river is only a few feet from the front porch, and the home is surrounded by majestic pines. In short, the property is exactly as represented in the pictures on the listing. My husband and I stayed two weeks (with our dogs) while our daughter was in camp in the area, and we found the property to be perfect for our needs. We had to work part of the time, and the peaceful setting contributed to our ability to focus. The internet was dependable and allowed us to conduct meetings and work online without a problem. The property was extremely clean. If we did have a question or concern, the property managers were exceptionally quick to help. As represented in the listing, the property does not have air conditioning - I would recommend renters bring a fan or two (two fans are provided) in the summer. Also, the entrance to the property is a little tricky to find - though once you do it is not a problem to locate again. The property is also off a sometimes busy road (the property is well back from the road, so traffic noise is not an issue), so you do need to be mindful of fast drivers when entering and exiting the property. Overall, the property was cozy, beautiful, and close to activities and good restaurants (in both Traverse City and Kingsley). We enjoyed our stay!

Anniversary Vacation

Property was gorgeous. Loved the views of the river while drinking my coffee on the deck or hanging out in the hot tub. Close to downtown traverse but also quiet and very private. Kitchen was well stocked. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Only complaints would be that the property was a little dusty and there was a lot of dog hair on the futon and blankets. Also, air did not work well when it got very humid one day. This was minor though. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful and tranquil

First thing you will notice is the sound of a creek less than 20 feet from the house, so calming. Hottub has an amazing view of this as well. Cabin has everything you will need. Main bed was comfy, shower had plenty of hot water, all the kitchen items. Grill is in the shed, along with more fire wood. house key opens it (didnt realize this until the last night there). House water has sulfur smell, must be a local thing. We didnt mind, you kind of get use to it. While all the dishes were available that you would need, i would recommend washing any of them before you use them (good idea anyways when u stay at someone else's house). We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We loved it.

We had a lovely time at this rental. Communication was great with property manager, cabin was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the hot tub was a huge plus for a wintery weekend! We actually saw a lynx wander through the yard one evening! Only tips would be to bring your own wood for the wood stove, (helped keep the cabin extra cozy and warm), and that the assent/descent from the road to driveway is quite steep. With some snow and slippery conditions we might not have made it up the driveway to the road without all wheel or four wheel drive.
