Slice of River Life is on the Boardman River. The swim spa (unavailable in winter) has been put down as both pool and hot tub because there it is in between those two can fit everyone in your party and can swim against the current or just bop around and there are 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 wonderful 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 riverfrontage, a large swim spa, an outdoor sauna, 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 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.

Small dogs are allowed.
