    Clean and cozy. Location is gorgeous! A lot of steps to get to the cabin but it’s worth it for the view! We weren’t sure if we were at the right place when we got there. An address at the bottom of the stairs would have been helpful. Otherwise, the place is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay.

    Came to get away from the daily grind looking for peace and relaxation. It delivered! The seclusion, wildlife, fire on the river was exactly what we all needed. The house was cleaned very well and the AC was great during the hot weather.

    This is our 2nd stay at the Boardman River Cottage and the place is very clean and well maintained. The grounds and the river add much to the experience. Communication with the owner was easy. We would easily come back. Thanks Richard!

    Very clean. Beautiful location. Accurate listing. Would recommend. Would rent again. You do have to walk across a bridge over the river and go up some steps to get to the cottage. Was not a problem for my wife and I, we are in our 60's. The location is worth a few steps.

    I stayed here with a group of guys for my brother's bachelor party, and this spot was fantastic. The bonfire pit is right next to the river, and there's a hot tub right out back. The place was immaculately clean, and had a very nice cabin charm. The showers were both very nice and clean, and the kitchen has everything you need. Thanks Richard!

    Such an peaceful stay. We loved being by the river and seeing the kayakers go by Enjoyed daily grilling and campfires. The house is stocked well. Met the nice owner upon arrival to sign paperwork. Don’t forget the bug spray.

    This is a relaxing, rustic cottage on the river--you can hear the river current when windows are open. Entry to cottage is a lot of steps, just something to consider. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen is small but functional. It could use a few more serving utensils such as wooden spoons. Nice hot tub in back of property. Two downsides: one is the wifi--listing says wifi available--it turns out it is a hotspot and you are allowed 1G per stay. With two younger kids that love to watch videos that was not enough. Second the gas grill is dirty and we were unable to turn on the propane. It was a great base from which to explore Traverse City and would gladly return for another stay.

    We stayed here for a week while exploring the area. What a beautiful setting! The river views are amazing. We loved sitting on the hammocks enjoying the views. The house is very comfortable. We loved the decor and everything we needed to prepare meals was provided. Also the location is great for exploring the area. Communication with host was very good. We will definitely stay again.
