About this house rental
Just 14 miles east of downtown Traverse City, Cozy Cottage on the Boardman River, is a retreat off the beaten path. It is in a quiet area but still close enough to lots of the region's best places. The cottage sits on five acres along the banks of the Boardman River, a blue-ribbon trout stream nestled deep in the woods of the Pere Marquette State Forest.
This home can accommodate eight guests, includes 3-queen beds, 2-single beds in two bedrooms, 2.5-bathrooms, and a spacious open kitchen, dining, and living area with a wood-burning fireplace. It has its own private river frontage and also adjoins state land, providing additional river frontage and hiking trails. Guests can enjoy activities such as hiking, kayaking, canoeing, inner-tubing, swimming, fishing, fly fishing, morel mushrooming, bird watching, and snowshoeing. Cozy River also has a charcoal grill and fire pit available to enjoy the outdoor natural surroundings.
Located 1.8 miles from the Supply Road Snowmobile and ORV staging area and trails. It is two miles to the VASA Singletrack Trailhead for fat tire biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking. Drive three miles to Ranch Rudolph horseback riding trails, and 10.2 miles to Flint Fields for the Horses by the Bay Horse Show.

It was very clean and roomy, even for being a little on the smaller size overall. Beds were comfortable, everything was working, clean and in order. We didn't go at the prettiest time of year but it was still a really nice property - even better in the summer I am sure. Would highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
The cottage still being fairly new was mostly clean and well kept. The setting was beautiful among trees by the river. We enjoyed the fire pit and the surrounding chairs. Loved the design and layout of the cottage and the generous offerings of the host. My only wish would be to have some window coverings in the main area of the house for nighttime.

First impression of house and property was amazing! You will not be disappointed in this choice. Home was well supplied. You may want to bring a few more kitchen towels if you plan on washing several dishes. We enjoyed the peaceful river and walks through the wooded area and Brown Bridge road.
