Great family getaway quiet yet close to downtown Traverse City
Entire family- dog, too- enjoyed this lovely cabin. Super clean with everything we needed. The Boardman River was incredibly beautiful, clean, and serene. Kayaking was super easy with access both upstream and downstream. Everything we needed was included. Cabin is ~15 minutes away from downtown Traverse City. We mostly ate in Kingsley to avoid crowds and all restaurants had great food and service. We wouldn't have changed anything!

Great property, thoughtful touches.
As soon as we arrived we were so excited about this property. A perfect flat lawn for playing soccer, frisbee, and passing the football. On the first day, we did it all, and played basketball. The river was calming, and a chilly dip was just right. Our dog enjoyed exploring when we took him for walks. We spent so much time outdoors! When we did come inside, the accommodation was cozy and comfortable. A well-equipped kitchen and private bedrooms. We look forward to returning soon.

Family Vacation
River Haven was beautiful. The check-in process was super easy. When we arrived the house and property was perfect. There was never a time when my teenagers said they were bored they had so much to do. Kayaking, fishing, basketball hoop, campfire at night, plenty of room to toss baseball. Inside there was plenty of room for a family of six, we watched movies at night and had family game time. The only negative we really came across was the washer did not work very well (did not spin the water out). We really enjoyed and would come back again. Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Beautiful view, the house needs some updates.
We had to shovel our way from the driveway to the porch to be able to bring our stuff into the house. We are both in our 70's, this should have been taken care of. There was ice under the snow on the walkway. The mattress in the bedroom close to the bathroom is so saggy, you sink to the middle. The bathroom cabinet needs repair, when you open the doors the wood piece above falls out. Would not use vrbo again, the add on fees are excessive.

Relaxing and Convenient
A relaxing place to stay near Traverse City. Cabin is great. The location on the river is a plus, but the road traffic noise is a bit of an issue until you get use to it. Over all, we had a great time.
