About this property

Intimate Cabin Off The Beaten Path

Minutes from the Kingsley Club yet only 14 miles from downtown Traverse City!

From the covered porch, past the fire pit, walk down the stairs, to historic railroad tracks that hold their majestic beauty. Then continue down the wood chipped path to 100 ft of Northern Michigan's Boardman River, a blue ribbon trout stream!

The cabin can sleep four comfortably. The one bedroom accommodates two with the full bed. Also full size futon, and twin sleeper sofa. The loft is spacious, and can be staged for our guests with one king mattress or two twin mattresses. A total of up to four guests are welcome. Additional guests may be considered, and will be an additional fee per day.

The nearby adventures that await are: snow shoeing, skiing, (cross country and downhill), kayaking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, hiking, golfing, snowmobiling, (trail 510), wineries and color tours.

❄️ Please note- during winter months -with any amount of snowfall- an AWD, 4WD, or snow tires on the vehicle would be necessary. The cabin is 2 miles off the main road. ❄️

Whether one wants to enjoy the tranquility of the cabin or are intrigued by the energy of the river... memories will forever be engrained.

We had a wonderful long weekend in the cabin! There is plenty to do around the property including trails, sitting by the river, and exploring the tracks. The cabin has pretty much everything you need and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We definitely plan on staying again next time we’re in the area!

I absolutely loved it, especially the quick access to the beautiful river. It definitely is back in the woods a bit, which is what I was looking forward to. I could see that the road getting to the property could be a challenge in the winter in a low clearance 2-wheel drive vehicle, but we’re from Colorado so used to back roads. Don’t worry about the train tracks, never heard a single train the entire stay.

Great secluded cabin with everything we needed. Peaceful and quaint. Communication with hose was great. Our only issue was getting our car back up the sandy hill on our way out. I would not recommend anything other than an suv. Other than that we had a great stay and were close to everything we wanted to do.

Jodi was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The cabin was spotless and was very warm and cozy to stay in. Located on a beautiful piece of property, off the beaten path but still very close to attractions nearby. I could have spent weeks there - would love to stay here again someday!
