About this property

Minutes from the Kingsley Club yet only 14 miles from downtown Traverse City!

From the covered porch, past the fire pit, walk down the stairs, to historic railroad tracks that hold their majestic beauty. Then continue down the wood chipped path to 100 ft of Northern Michigan's Boardman River, a blue ribbon trout stream!

The cabin can sleep four comfortably. The one bedroom accommodates two with the full bed. Also full size futon, and twin sleeper sofa. The loft is spacious, and can be staged for our guests with one king mattress or two twin mattresses. A total of up to four guests are welcome. Additional guests may be considered, and will be an additional fee per day.

The nearby adventures that await are: snow shoeing, skiing, (cross country and downhill), kayaking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, hiking, golfing, snowmobiling, (trail 510), wineries and color tours.

❄️ Please note- during winter months -with any amount of snowfall- an AWD, 4WD, or snow tires on the vehicle would be necessary. The cabin is 2 miles off the main road. ❄️

Whether one wants to enjoy the tranquility of the cabin or are intrigued by the energy of the river... memories will forever be engrained.

Perfect getaway

This place was fantastic! My wife and I went to TC for her birthday and to do some snowmobiling. This place was far enough removed from town but close enough to spend some time on Saturday and Sunday in TC. We really appreciated the details put into the cabin.

River Tracks Cabin is adorable!

My husband and I really enjoyed our long weekend at the cabin. The location feels very secluded, but is still close to everything. The trek down to the river dock and the cute nature trails were such fun features.

Recharge

This was the perfect place to just get away from the hustle and bustle. You feel like you’re so far away from everything, but you’re not. Traverse City is a quick drive to hit shopping, dinner or wine sampling. We will definitely be back. This has everything you need. Pack a cooler and a bag and go relax. Super clean and comfy.

Great Place!!

We stayed as part of a girl’s weekend in the TC Area, and could not have been more happy. Every detail was covered by Jodi, the cabin and its access to the river was amazing, the screened porch at night and in the morning was fantastic — and the outdoor shower was a really nice addition! Very close to TC and Interlochen, and our hosts were super attentive! I’d stay again on future trips to the area.

Quiet & Secluded

This cabin was definitely secluded, which is exactly what we were looking for! Close enough to Traverse City without it feeling like a long trip to get there, but out in the woods enough to feel like you’re the only people around for miles. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with.

Relaxing Getaway

Quiet and Beautiful cabin with everything you need to getaway from hustle and bustle… a very short walk to a relaxing dock on the riverfront, owners kept us informed and we did get a compact car in the last bit of road even though there was a few inches of snowy slop on the ground at the time. Well worth the trip

This is our second time staying at this cabin. We love it so much and the owners are very prompt to check in with you and answer any questions. You are off the grid but so close to Traverse City and other towns. We’ll be back again for sure!

Private and Peaceful

We stayed for a weekend celebrating our wedding anniversary. Traverse City is a short drive. The cabin was very clean and nicely maintained. Location was perfect to get away from the city and unplug for a weekend. Definitely need all wheel drive vehicle to access cabin but thats part of the adventure. Highly recommend.
