About this property

River Camp Retreat, Sublime 3-bedroom River Front Cottage in Traverse City

Wing River Camp Retreat is a Traverse City cottage that boasts 3 fabulous bedrooms with 4 queen beds. The serene atmosphere and gorgeous decor make it the perfect retreat for guests. With 2 bathrooms equipped with showers and hair dryers, your comfort is our priority. Whether you're looking to relax indoors or explore the surrounding area, this cozy cottage has everything you need for a memorable stay. Nestled on the banks of the Boardman River, renown for its Trout fly fishing, this secluded cabin feels like a page torn from a Hemingway novel. Imagine mornings where the mist rises from the water, the call of distance birds is the only sound to break the silence. This 3 bedroom cabin is crafted with tongue-&-groove pine, tile flooring, granite countertops and an impressive real-stone fireplace as the focal point. The cabin space is inviting; a modern kitchen with wooden peninsula bar seating, cozy living room, and bathroom with multiple vanities and 2 separate shower rooms all combine to make this a fabulous property. The outside screened porch is where you will find yourself gathered to share stories and tales of time spent on the river. The land slopes gently down to the water’s edge, where a private dock extends over the river and is a perfect spot to cast a line or simply watch the current carry leaves downstream. It’s easy to image a simpler time here, where the day’s biggest adventure is a canoe trip along the river or an afternoon spent exploring the surrounding woods. This is not just a place to visit, but a place to experience a life full of quiet reflection, where the beauty of the natural world becomes a part of you.

This is a very family friendly home, my pup had so much room to run around freely without his leash. It’s a very private location, child friendly and we felt safe the whole time. Traverse city is about 17 minutes from the house. 5 stars, we had an amazing trip. Well stocked on amenities you’ll need.

This was by far the best place we've stayed at. Plenty of room, everything you needfor the kitchen. Plenty of towels. The 2 showers was wonderful. So very clean. Thescreened porch was also very nice. The property was beautiful Our dogs had a great time exploring and loved loved the river, in it all the time. The fire pit next to the river was so peaceful and lovely, we sat there every night. Only 15 mins from Traverse city and close to everything else. I would suggest maybe a couple lamps for the living room and also a shade for the bathroom windows. We are already planning for next year. Thank you for sharing this piece of heaven The Smith family

A quiet little slice of peace and paradise! Close enough to downtown TC but still feels secluded. Beautiful property and cozy house. We loved the fire pit near the river. Communication with host was super easy. We are already thinking of planning a return trip. :)

We enjoyed an “Up North” extended summer stay at River Camp visiting with family and friends. The Boardman riverfront location was excellent for fishing, bonfires and hunting for Petoskey stones. Tons of privacy. The home had everything we needed for our stay including a beautiful fenced back yard for our pups!! The host was great to work with. I would highly recommend a stay here!! Two thumbs up!!

We had a girls weekend at the cottage. It was perfect for us! We loved the screened in porch to sit out and read and play games. There are comfortable chairs around the fire pit down by the river which also is a great place to sit and read.The beds were super comfortable. Bathrooms very clean and spacious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
