Other things to note
Boardman river is fairly cold, but many people enjoy fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, and tubing!

Firefly Lodge is very close to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area, which offers miles of hiking trails. Like to snowmobile? We are in close proximity to the Boardman Valley Trail System's 81 miles of trails! We are close to the Vasa Single Track, a great Mountain Bike trail system. In addition, the Vasa is home to 25 km of groomed cross-country trails. Mount Holiday is only 11 minutes away, a local downhill ski hill that also offers snow tubing and zip lining. Crystal Mountain Ski Resort is only 27 miles away.

This setting is perfect for relaxing riverfront vacationing away from the hustle of town, but be sure to leave time for a short 15-minute drive to the city. Traverse City is well known for its lakefront, with countless shops and restaurants. The greater Traverse City Area is nationally recognized for Old Mission Peninsula's and the Leelanau Peninsula's many wineries, as well as the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

Short stays, weekly and monthly, are available. Traverse City Horse Shows at Flintfields Horse Park is 26 minutes from this location. Downtown Traverse City is just 15 minutes away.

An exceptional location for easy access to all the fun activities this great area has to offer while still being ‘away from it all.’ Festivals abound in this area, including Traverse City Film Festival, beer, music, and wine Festivals, and The Cherry Festival. Terrific shopping in waterfront villages and towns.
