About this property
Boardman River, Firepit, Game Room, Hot tub, Sauna
Slice of River Life is on the Boardman River. The swim spa has been listed as both a pool and a hot tub because it is in between those two. It can fit everyone in your party, and you can swim against the current or just bop around. There are also two hot tub chairs with jets!
Just 7 miles from downtown Traverse City, this riverfront home is a retreat off the beaten path but still close enough to get to all the best of Traverse City. The cottage sits on close to 5 acres (most of it being across the river, for added privacy) along the banks of the Boardman River, a blue-ribbon trout stream with the ability to fly fish right out the front door, or drive about a mile downstream and tube back for a fantastic BBQ.
Sleeps 8 with an adjustable King bed upstairs. This room has a private bathroom with shower and soaking bath. 2 bedrooms have Queen beds. There is a Queen sleeper sofa on the main level with a bathroom. The large open kitchen-dining-living area has a magnificent stone gas- fireplace. This property provides river frontage, a large swim spa, and an outdoor shower! Also, there is a game room/man cave with a bar, pool table, darts, and TV. The firepit is something to see; beach sand and 8 Adirondack chairs surround it for peaceful stargazing! This home even has a professional putting green.
Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, inner-tubing, swimming, fishing, fly fishing, Morel mushrooming, bird watching, or catching a glimpse of a deer or other wildlife in the area! 16 miles to Flint Fields for the Horses By the Bay Horse Show.
1 Small dog is allowed with a pet fee
