Secluded Boardman River home with a HOT TUB, Smart TV, Kayaks. 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.

Everything was clean and the property was in great shape and even better than expected. We got to use the hot tub quite a bit as well as the kayaks. We also fished most days and caught a few brook trout.

Needs a lot of love. Rodent droppings all over by entry door upon arrival. Food crumbs all over dining table upon arrival. The water is terrible smells like rotten eggs, undrinkable, as well would not bath in. Were led to believe there was a propane grill, as there was not. Overall grounds not kept up. A plunger and used air filter sitting outside the entry door, junky look. Would not recommend!

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!

All the views!

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!!
