This charming full log cabin sits along one of Traverse City's most beloved waterways, offering over 340' of private Boardman River frontage and the kind of peace & quiet that's hard to come by. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage blends rustic charm with modern comfort. NOTE: no water intrusion was observed inside of the home during the early spring heavy rainwater events in the area! Fresh new flooring, new lighting, and freshly stained interior logs give the home a warm, inviting feel, while the fully renovated bathroom "” complete with a tiled walk-in shower "” adds a touch of polish you wouldn't expect to find in a river cottage. Step out onto the covered back porch, which runs the full length of the home, and take in sweeping river views any time of day. This stretch of the Boardman is a dream for kayakers and trout fishermen alike. With convenient put-in and take-out spots both upstream and downstream, you have multiple options for river excursions right from your own backyard. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the setting feels worlds away from the hustle of everyday life, yet downtown Traverse City is just 15 minutes away. World-class restaurants, boutique shopping and all the amenities of one of Michigan's most beloved towns are never far when you need them. And when you're not using the cabin yourself? The short-term rental potential here is exceptional. Let the cabin work for you and help offset carrying costs. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a savvy investment property, this one checks every box.
