About this cabin rental

Shadowland River Lodge is located approx. 12 miles South East of downtown Traverse City. It is nestled on 33 acres of private land with 650 feet of frontage along the Boardman River. The original log home structure was built in 1929 and in later years added on to including a kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, walk-in closet, utility room, and a riverside main bedroom.

Shadowland River Lodge currently sleeps up to 6 guests with a queen bed in the one “ conventional “ bedroom with direct river views. (red bedspread) A set of “twin” size bunk beds are in the main room (red checkered) of the cabin structure along with a “double” size futon. (Cream w/ multi-color stripes)

The property has become a retreat for those looking to be a little off the beaten path of the busy hustle and bustle of Traverse City. Step back in time and enjoy the privacy and sense of nature that envelops this log home along the Boardman River. Also enjoy endless amounts of free firewood for use inside and out!

We are dog friendly - this means all dogs! (Sorry, we only allow dogs, no cats, etc.) There is no size limit. We love to have guests experience Shadowland River Lodge with their K9 family members! We see no need to charge a pet fee, so there isn’t one!

We had a great two day stay at the Shadowland River Lodge. We wished it was longer. The hosts, Jason and Nicole greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour with quick easy intructions of the property. They also gave us historical insight of the cottage which made us appreciate the nostalgic atmosphere even more. This is truly a relax and unwind cabin with amazing views both inside and outside. The owners have done an outstanding job with maintaining and cleanliness the property. The ammenities check off all of the boxes. This was exactly what we were looking for in a Northern Michigan getaway. Thanks again Jason and Nicole!

Once again, we loved our stay at Shadowland River Lodge. We had a wonderfully snowy weekend made cozy by the fire reading and playing games while looking out at the beautiful river views and relaxing in the hot tub after cross country skiing nearby. Well appointed cabin with a private setting and so much charm! We’ll be back!
