Charming Boardman Riverfront Cabin 2 Bedroom 1 bath<br><br>
Come rest, relax, and enjoy the sounds and sights of the Boardman River in our cozy, rustic 800 square foot cabin. Bedroom one has a queen size bed, while bedroom two offers a double bed and a twin bed. Cook meals in our efficient kitchen, or grill on the charcoal grill. Our large comfortable sofa beckons you to relax, read a book, watch birds at the feeder, or view kayakers as they paddle down the river. Free WiFi allows you to stream movies, or if you must, check emails or work remotely. Grab a book and hang in the hammock under the willow tree, and let the sound of the river gently lull you into a nap. Enjoy a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage on our deck overlooking the river. When evening comes, build a fire in the fire pit and make a few s'mores. If you're lucky, you may spot fireflies in late June or July. Deer, bunnies, birds, abound if you are quiet and observant.
When you are ready for activity, bring your own kayaks or tubes and go for a float. For a small fee, a neighbor will transport you and your vessels up or downstream. Traverse City offers many beautiful hiking trails and we are a 1/4 mile from the Boardman River Trail where you can and enjoy a hike along the river. We are eight miles from Downtown Traverse City where you can enjoy shopping, excellent restaurants, beaches, or wineries out the Old Mission Peninsula. Leelanau County is one of our favorite places to enjoy the beaches and go for hikes.
This cabin has been in our family for three generations and we have made many wonderful memories here over the years. While it is rustic, it is clean and updated with new mattresses, sheets, linens, towels, and a stove. We hope that you and your family or friends can relax, recharge, and make some special memories of your own. Parties, additional guests, and smoking and vaping is prohibited.
We will provide:
* Sheets

* Paper towel, toilet paper, cleaning supplies
* Coffee, tea, sugar and filters
* A variety of boardgames, cards, books, yard games
You Bring:

* Firewood
* Charcoal

Secluded, wonderful cabin and great location!!!
Within thirty minutes upon entering this very charming, rustic cabin we said to each other, "oh, we're coming back here!"
There are so many things to love about this place:
--the central location just south of Traverse City and within easy reach of Sleeping Bear Dunes and other sites --the soothing, babbling river that runs along the property
--the big, inviting fire pit in the backyard
--the super comfortable patio furniture
--the gorgeous, huge trees that ring the property
--the urban hiking trails just down the road
--the spacious living room and well-stocked kitchen
--the very comfortable beds
We just felt completely at home. It's very secluded--no house or people in sight, but we felt completely safe, too. It's just off a fairly well-used road (mostly during the day, so it was quiet in the evenings and at night). Although there are train tracks close to the house, there was only one very short train that rolled by in four days.
Amy was wonderful to work with! She answered all our questions very quickly. She even left us a thoughtful present to celebrate a special occasion.
We will definitely come back!

Perfect welcome and stay!
From the second you walk into this cabin you feel welcomed to the city! There were flowers to great us, a treat from the area and a book full of ideas to do while here. Numerous birds, squirrels and bunny’s to watch around the river and a patio to enjoy it on! Everything we needed in the kitchen was available, tons of games to play and a big table to play then on. Close to town but not the noise of the city. The hosts were terrific to work with too. A great choice for families or couples!

Extended Farther’s Day Mini Vacation
A very nice location and with the cottage set on the river’s edge. Lots of open space, well stocked supplies and very comfortable. Did not like the internet tv…..not user friendly and could not receive local news or events. We really enjoyed our overall stay and plan on doing it again in the near future. Thanks for a wonderful time!

A Delight on the River
I loved my stay at this cabin. It is rustic yet updated, it is also a work in progress with more planned updates coming. The owners are local and are amazing--kind, attentive, aware. The water rushing by makes it an exciting place to be. It is freshly painted red with a big hearth because it is a well loved for a longtime respite with a big heart energy to it. I slept so great here. I wouldnt recommend this space for a group, its really for a couple, solo, or with 2 or 3 children. The shower is very strong for a well. The daily wildlife is wonderful , the location to town and to trails is awesome. Trailheads at both ends of street, one is a 3 minute drive away. It is just over the train tracks but only 2 trains passed in my extended stay. Its fun to see the kayakers passing, its heaven to sit on the deck or next to the water. The heaters work great. The fire pit is a score and its a great yard overall. This is such a charming place, and I would return in a minute. :) Thx again!!! <3 <3 <3

I can't say enough good things about the location as well as Amy. She was friendly and responded quickly and she was kind enough to give us suggestions of locations and events worth visiting. She also gave a few tidbits about the history of the property which was so fun to know. The view of the river is beautiful from the porch/backyard but also from the living room. We hope to visit again!

Family trip
The River front home was absolutely amazing!! The place was so clean and we loved hearing the River. The property is beautiful and so peaceful. It was the best stay! We would love to come back. The best family vacation we could’ve asked for. The informational binder was a wonder to have when we didn’t know what winery to try out or where to eat for dinner. The host was so easy to contact. We truly couldn’t have loved our stay more!
