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! ##### Jen R.

We called and asked for an additional night. They accommodated us and they were very easy to deal with. ##### Rebecca S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin C. 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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!" ##### Robin C.

Reviewer Comments: The location, setting, and relaxing views was amazing, I think we might have been one of the first of the season though because the water had a very rotten egg smell and we could not shower because the hot water was very rancid smelling. but the cabin was clean, well stocked for supplies and was so very cozy and welcoming. ##### Cassie G.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Probably our 6th vaca in traverse City and this was a special one. We just loved this place. You almost can dive into the Boardman river from the sliding door. We spent our time watching the river go by and the snow falling, while a fire burned in the wood stove. At night hot tub under Jupiter, Mars, and Orion! Cooked dinner 2 nights at "Home" with ease. It was clean, well stocked. furnishings were comfortable and cozy - all utilities worked fine. Everything in the listing was there and more - the were all sorts of kitchen gadgets. With wifi in the 500/mbs range. The place was a totally peaceful winter scene ... yes the well water is a bit eggy but the provided filter in the fridge solved that. I am thinkin about a summer speedo to entertain the Kayakers! ##### William S.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing rental! Probably the best location that we have found in Michigan, so much so that we started looking for riverfront property as soon as we got home so that we could have a place like this to escape to whenever we wanted - but so far, this place has been one of a kind! It's not a big place, but it was cozy and more than accommodating for the two of us to feel right at home. The kitchen was well-appointed, and the bed was comfortable. The only thing that we had trouble with when we arrived after sunset was finding the light switches, but it makes for a fun game to find what they are hidden behind (in the daylight). The pairing of the hot tub and the river was perfect, and what's more, being able to bring our pups along for this adventure was a wonderful addition. ##### Nik M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Traci Q. 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Traci Q.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ryan M. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a38d861-a7a0-494d-9aa7-c21e7334f5ae-1756757981471.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/057a1bec-506b-46df-bebc-749f0a42572e-1756757980651.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20f28b96-ff24-4213-9e2b-83aaa057619b-1756757977950.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1fe4c4d8-163d-4a0c-a950-7a04673a8022-1756757978331.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ryan M.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really like this cabin and the river beside it. Also, Visit Up North did a really good job of handling the unfortunate accident that the previous guest had accidentally not checked out on time. ##### Karl K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan C. 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a getaway Loved the river ##### Ethan C.
