About this property

Spacious Riverfront home. 10 Min to TC but far enough away from it all.

East Bay Township Short Term Rental License Number: STR2021-11

Welcome to River Life Paradise! We invite you to stay in this beautiful 2,000 sq ft air conditioned home with a huge front and back yard, screened in porch, a large shaded deck and all of which is just feet from the Boardman River.

The house has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a loft. Max capacity is 8 people. The upstairs bedroom has two queen sized beds. The Downstairs master bedroom has King sized bedroom set. And the loft has a Queen bed. The kitchen is fully appointed (except dishwasher) with a large dinning area. The living room has a 6-8 person couch and a game area. the living room sits four feet from the banks of river. The views are spectacular!

The Boardman River offers tubing, kayaking, and canoeing (we can provide equipment if needed), fishing, and rock hunting. The river also is a Blue Ribbon trout stream and the fishing is second to none. The water is cool and crystal clear.

The property has a hiking trail that guides you along the many natural features of the area. This is great place for a short walk. You will encounter many types of wildlife here. Deer, Porcupine, River Otter, Beaver, Bald Eagles, Hawks, Owls, Osprey, and even the occasional bear. Come and hunt mushrooms or do some bird watching.
We are located 10 miles outside of Traverse City. Far enough from town to enjoy peace and quiet, and a never ending sky full of stars. Yet we are close enough that a quick drive offers so much more to do. Traverse City is the gem of northern Michigan offering world class dining, Breweries, Wineries, and views. We are also a quarter mile from the Michigan ATV and snowmobile trail system. We look forward to seeing you. Book your vacation soon as we fill up quickly.

NOTE: Please disregard reviews pertaining to "camper". The camper is no longer available for rental.

Best of the Best Properties
“Awesome house/property”, was the initial statement from everyone in my party upon arriving at the house. The river is so soothing to watch and listen to. The owner let us use 2 Kayaks which we did a 1-hr, slice of heaven, leisurely run ending up at our property!!! Our 4 and 5 y/o thought it was their favorite part of our trip…along with the fire pit that evening. The hospitality we received was tops. We definitely will be back again.

Daughters wedding
Our family stayed here 1 week, it served as a home base the week of our daughters wedding. 6 adults and 2 children. It was perfect. The setting was gorgeous. The house was stocked with everything imaginable. It was private right along the Boardman river. The owner supplied 2 kayaks and took 2 of our kids up river for a 4 hour kayak trip one morning. Free of charge. They kayaked back and ended up at the property. Thank you. Only about 10 minutes from Traverse City. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful setting with a above accommodating host, this is it. Thank you John!!!!
