Great riverside escape
Excellent cabin located next to a nice river. Easy drives to all of the area sites. Regular morning and evening sightings of wildlife. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Perfect situation for us as a recently retired couple for a weekday getaway (3 nights). Would like to have stayed another couple of nights, maybe next time. Thanks for a great experience.

We had a lovely stay at your exquisite cabin! We wish we could've stayed longer when the temperature was hot enough for the river! The heated shower room was a great touch! Thank you for helping our group make great memories at your abode.

Family fun
This was a beautiful location and we really enjoyed the space, the water and all this property had to offer. The listing did say there was a washer and dryer which did not happen to be the case but everything else was fairly spot on. Most of the kayaks are missing plugs so beware of that if you are wanting to use them but this space really is a hidden gem

Highly Recommend
The owner was highly responsive and easy to work with. We really enjoyed and spent time in the screened room right on the river. The current of the river is too fast to kayak against or go upstream but is shallow, clear, and fun to play in. Such a great place to spend with family.

Great family getaway quiet yet close to downtown Traverse City
Entire family- dog, too- enjoyed this lovely cabin. Super clean with everything we needed. The Boardman River was incredibly beautiful, clean, and serene. Kayaking was super easy with access both upstream and downstream. Everything we needed was included. Cabin is ~15 minutes away from downtown Traverse City. We mostly ate in Kingsley to avoid crowds and all restaurants had great food and service. We wouldn't have changed anything!

Great property, thoughtful touches.
As soon as we arrived we were so excited about this property. A perfect flat lawn for playing soccer, frisbee, and passing the football. On the first day, we did it all, and played basketball. The river was calming, and a chilly dip was just right. Our dog enjoyed exploring when we took him for walks. We spent so much time outdoors! When we did come inside, the accommodation was cozy and comfortable. A well-equipped kitchen and private bedrooms. We look forward to returning soon.

Family Vacation
River Haven was beautiful. The check-in process was super easy. When we arrived the house and property was perfect. There was never a time when my teenagers said they were bored they had so much to do. Kayaking, fishing, basketball hoop, campfire at night, plenty of room to toss baseball. Inside there was plenty of room for a family of six, we watched movies at night and had family game time. The only negative we really came across was the washer did not work very well (did not spin the water out). We really enjoyed and would come back again. Thank you!

Beautiful view, the house needs some updates.
We had to shovel our way from the driveway to the porch to be able to bring our stuff into the house. We are both in our 70's, this should have been taken care of. There was ice under the snow on the walkway. The mattress in the bedroom close to the bathroom is so saggy, you sink to the middle. The bathroom cabinet needs repair, when you open the doors the wood piece above falls out. Would not use vrbo again, the add on fees are excessive.

A relaxing place to stay near Traverse City. Cabin is great. The location on the river is a plus, but the road traffic noise is a bit of an issue until you get use to it. Over all, we had a great time.

Beuatiful and well kept little cottage right on the river.
We had an excellent time with tons to do in the area even though it rained most of the weekend. Only minor criticism was how close to the main road we were. Aside from that we enjoyed the fire pit, sitting in the gazebo by the river, and the wood stove made evening with my wife a fantastic getaway.

This is our first time to rent and experienced what it feels like to stay in a cabin. It is beyond our expectation! The house is complete with all the things that you need. No doubt that we will rent it again in our future visit. The host is very accommodating as well. I highly recommend the place.

Anniversary Weekend
Very clean and pretty property. We were happy with the accommodations inside. The cabin had all that we needed. However, the traffic is very loud and very busy so I wouldn't call it quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend some kind of reflective marking or address at the driveway end on the road. In the dark it is almost impossible to find the drive and the road is dangerous with fast moving traffic. Thank you for sharing your property.
