Just 14 miles east of downtown Traverse City, Cozy Cottage on the Boardman River is a retreat off the beaten path. It is in a quiet area, but still close enough to lots of the region's best places. The cottage sits on 5 acres along the banks of the Boardman River, a blue-ribbon trout stream nestled deep in the woods of the Pere Marquette State Forest.

This home can accommodate 8 guests and includes 3 queen beds, 2 single beds in 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious open kitchen, dining, and living area with a wood-burning fireplace. It has its own private river frontage and also adjoins state land, providing additional river frontage and hiking trails. Guests can enjoy activities such as hiking, kayaking, canoeing, inner-tubing, swimming, fishing, fly fishing, morel mushrooming, bird watching, and snowshoeing.

Located 1.8 miles from the Supply Road Snowmobile and ORV staging area and trails. It is 2 miles to the VASA Singletrack Trailhead for fat tire biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking. Drive 3 miles to Ranch Rudolph horseback riding trails, and 10.2 miles to Flint Fields for the Horses by the Bay Horse Show.
