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.

Cozy Cottage review
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This incredible cottage sits on 5 acres of beautiful and secluded property. We loved the setting, even with rainy 40° weather, but our week was ruined to find that we had been unaware that we were under surveillance by an outdoor hidden camera monitoring our every move inside the great room. Though apparently intended for security purposes on the sliders which have no window treatments, it was unsettling. VisitUpNorth dismissed our concerns and suggested we simply unplug the camera during the remainder of our stay but instructed us to plug it back in upon our departure. The camera should have been disclosed. A report was filed with the Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Dept.

Beautiful Riverside Retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The Cozy River Cottage was a great place to stay. A gorgeous cabin with an incredible setting in the woods. My sunrise walk to flyfish was less than 300 feet. While no fish graced my lures it was very relaxing. Only negative experience was the malfunctioning Direct TV volume- but we didnt go there for television.
