About this property
Cozy Cottage on Boardman River. Great location for fishing with a firepit.
Cozy Cottage on Boardman River.
Just 14 miles east of downtown Traverse City, this riverfront cottage is a retreat off the beaten path but still close enough to get to the region's other attractions. The cottage sits on 5 acres along the banks of the Boardman River, a blue-ribbon trout stream nestled deep in the woods of the Pere Marquette State Forest.
Sleeps 8 with 3 queen beds, 2 single beds in 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a large open kitchen-dining-living area with a wood-burning fireplace. In addition to its own private river frontage, it butts up to adjacent state land offering additional river frontage and hiking trails. Enjoy hiking, kayaking, canoeing, inner-tubing, swimming, fishing, fly fishing, morel mushrooming, bird watching, and snowshoeing.
1.8 miles to the Supply Road Snowmobile and ORV staging area and trails. 2 miles to the VASA Singletrack Trailhead for fat biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking. 3 miles to Ranch Rudolph horseback riding trails. 10.2 miles to Flint Fields for the Horses by the Bay Horse Show.
