Intimate Cabin Off The Beaten Path

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.

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.

Perfect vacation!
We absolutely loved this property. My main concern when vacationing in Michigan with children is being close to water but not right on the water. The river is down a stairway then down a pathway, definitely far enough away for safe distance for kids. The cabin was perfect as well. Like everyone else said, the outside shower is great for sandy kids feet and being so close to Lake Michigan. I loved how it had everything we needed. Even a handheld vacuum so I could get the sand out of my car after the day at the beach. I searched all over for a rental in the wilderness that had water access and this one was the perfect gem. Can’t wait to go back!

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.

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.

Secluded cabin getaway
Just what we love, a little cabin in the woods. Loved being near the river, the screened in porch and the outdoor shower was at the top of the list. I had no idea I was missing an outdoor shower in my life! We brought our groceries and I cooked every meal. The kitchen had everything I needed. Can’t wait for another visit!

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.

Don’t be frightened away by the drive through the woods! This little cabin is great for a quick getaway with the family or time away with your spouse. The serene setting provides a peaceful place to relax with a fire or you can take a short walk to the river and kick back and enjoy the sounds. Our adult teens got a kick out of sleeping in the loft and using the outdoor shower. It is also close enough to enjoy all Traverse City and the peninsula have to offer. We hope to be back soon!

Our 5-night stay at the River Tracks cabin was wonderful. Our gracious hosts, Jodi and Raymond, were amazing. The cabin was clean, well-decorated and included all the amenities necessary for an enjoyable cabin vacation.. My wife and I enjoyed the seclusion and remote feel to this location. Hoping to soon return.

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
