We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the River House. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. The setting right on the river is magical. It is private and secluded but still close enough to downtown to easily go in for shopping, dinner, etc. Grocery store, gas and amenities are 5 minutes away. This southern family loved our time in Traverse City and would highly recommend the river house for a great getaway. We hope to go back.
This was everything the listing said it was! We werenât sure if we wanted to stay in Traverse City or a bit outside, and we are so glad we chose this route. Itâs easy access to Traverse City but tucked away with lots of fun things to do right at the house. We loved being right on the river to fish and the house was stacked with all the kids toys, games and books. The kids kept busy while we relaxed on the beautiful back deck and enjoyed the peace and quiet! The hot tub was clean and the perfect size for our family. Weâve already recommended this place to several friends and would definitely be back if we come back to this area!
We spent a few days here while our kids played in the Cherry Cup. House is exactly as pictured. The property is awesome - secluded and quiet. We fished, swam in the river, and took advantage of the hot tub on cool nights. Bring bug spray - during the warmer days the mosquitoes were out. Definitely recommend this place!
Our stay at the property was absolutely perfect. The house was clean and spacious enough for 6 adults and our 3 year old granddaughter. Beautiful well stocked kitchen and open living space. The beds are so comfortable. I didn't use the outside shower, but my husband, adult son and father in law did and raved about it. The deck is amazing. We spent lots of time out in the yard and sitting by the river. So peaceful. There is a little town close by with a family fare, walgreens and a jets pizza. The property is also close to Traverse City and all the other fun things to do in the area. Thank you to our hosts! We loved our stay.
Wonderful, private, rural, fully stocked riverside home, yet close to many outdoor activities and still just 15 minutes from Traverse City restaurants and shopping. Great, high-speed internet.
Wonderful furnishings great views of the river and wild life such as deer and sweet bunnies
Close to traverse city and all the beautiful lakes and rivers
We had a lovely time at the river house. The home was clean and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable! We enjoyed sitting outside in the rocking chairs and going in the hot tub. And it's just a short drive to downtown Traverse City.
The property and the house are beautiful. You can sit on the back deck and listen to the tranquil sounds of nature, the birds, and the river, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor deck area with plenty of seating. Interior is just as lovely and has everything you will need. Definitely recommend this house.
The house exceeded our expectations and had the most beautiful views of the river! A very private little getaway. We would love to come back in the summer!
We enjoyed relaxing at this property. It was the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the area. We loved sitting out near the river and hearing just the sounds of nature.
This was the perfect place to stay during our mini vacation to Michigan. We visited Traverse City, Sleeping Bear, wineries, and more. The house was perfect in between our outings.
We had a great stay! Such a great location, secluded but not far from Traverse City. We loved being able to kayak the Boardman River! Kitchen is well stocked, everything was clean and just plain perfect.
Wonderful House with a Beautiful View on the River
The house is beautifully situated and lends itself to spending quality time with family and friends. Itâs well appointed and inviting. Communicating w Alex was a breeze and we couldnât have been happier with the accommodation. Highly recommended if you are going to be in the Traverse City area.
Our stay at the River House was wonderful. Our Host was exceptionally helpful. We could not have asked for anything better and will definatyly be a once a year visitor
We rented the river house for a girls weekend and were impressed with the rental from booking to checkout. The location was the perfect mix of being near downtown TC and being a secluded and relaxing paradise in the woods. Would definitely stay here again!
The River House is beautiful. Peaceful setting on the river away from town. Plenty of room to be outside. Minor issues were handled by Alex immediately. Alex was just a text away. I loved their story.
We had an amazing stay here! They exceeded our expectations! Property was very clean, they had everything in the house we needed, great backyard! Owners were very responsive, we would love to come back here.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Alex was very helpful with recommendations of things to do in the area with my one year old daughter. The location was great too...quiet, but close to all the activities we wanted to do in Traverse City. The hot tub and fire table were wonderful to end each night too!
we love staying here. far enough away from town to feel peaceful and secluded but close enough for day or night trips out. love being on the boardman. clean bright and comfortable.
My parents bought this house in 1999 when I was in middle school. I grew up spending my entire summers at this house making so many memories! This house has become the landscape for many family gatherings, baby and wedding showers, and even my sisters wedding. I can't even express how much this property means to us! When the opportunity came for my husband and I to purchase the property from my parents we had to take it, and now we're so happy this house is still in our family!
This house was in my family for over 20 years when my husband and I bought it. We have spent countless hours kayaking, tubing, roasting marshmallows and making great memories on this beautiful river.
We love the peace and quiet of this location. We are at the end of a two track road so there is no traffic to worry about. We enjoy sitting on our deck watching the ducks, herons, deer, rabbits and many other kinds of wildlife. The river is very easily accessed off of our lawn for kayaking, tubing, fishing or swimming.
