    Our favorite part of the property was the deck and dock that extend into the river. Although there isn’t a lot of room on the property to explore, we went went up the road and enjoyed miles of hiking trails. The property is very peaceful and quiet and everything about the cabin was just as advertised. Would absolutely stay there again!

    Loved the cabin, but the oppressive heat and lack of air conditioning forced us to spend more time away from the cabin. Definitely would stay again in cooler weather

    Clean cabin with all necessities. Bed and futon were comfortable. Didn't see a TV though that was listed, but we didn't need one and enjoyed watching the river instead. Great location, close to drive to Traverse City and lots of lakes and parks to enjoy away from the city. Very nice host, and we would definitely stay again!

    Very pretty spot. Cabin is cozy and met all our needs. It was easy to find and not a long drive from downtown Traverse City. Lots to do and see close by. Only thing missing was some chairs by the dock to sit and watch the water!

    Sister’s birthday, she wanted a little cabin by a river-it was perfect. Great location for exploring all of UP NORTH. Futon not very comfortable and I couldn’t open it but didn’t really need to. We didn’t cook but everything you need is there. Will definitely go again. Loved the book, too.

    A perfect spot to spend a couple of quiet, restful days. Front window pane presented a beautiful view of River….only a dozen steps from cabin. Everything was neat and clean and ready for us when we arrived. A short drive to Traverse City and other spots to enjoy fine eating and other great scenery. A big thanks to our host for help making this a speacial time!

    The place has the perfect woodland mystique and allure! The view and access to the river is rare and special. Also Tricia is so kind and hospitable, made us feel very welcome and was always available to answer questions. Would love to return! Dasha and William

    Our stay at the cottage on the Boardman River was relaxing. The river flows right outside the cottage, making its way toward Grand Traverse Bay. The cottage is nestled in a bucolic setting, which adds to the overall peacefulness of the setting. If you decide to stay, bring a good book or your fly fishing gear--either route you won't be disappointed.
