If you are wanting a get away with the family, or a retreat with your closest friends this cabin is perfect for you.
As you come up the driveway you are immediately greeted by large trees and a view of the river along the house. Our home sits on a bend, allowing for the river to flow on either side of the home. Stepping inside the high ceiling and original log cabin walls will stun your eyes, they are so charming! Our uniquely styled house has a large fireplace with pudding stones and Petoskey stones set along each side. The living room is spacious and bright, with a great view of the forest and river and plenty of space for your friends and family to gather. The kitchen is straight ahead to your right as you walk in, fully equipped with anything you may need during your stay just behind the living room. Windows surround the house allowing bright natural light to soak the cabin walls, it truly feels magical.
On the second floor there is one bedroom with a king bed and a spacious storage area. Beside the bedroom is a large full bathroom with a tub for any relaxing, or spa nights you may have planned for your perfect getaway.
All three other beds are on the lower level, this includes; the master bedroom with a king size bed and ensuite, a second bedroom with a king size bed and an additional sleeping option is in our four season sunroom holding a futon. Down the hallway to get to the bedrooms downstairs you may notice warmth on your feet. The entire floor in the back of the house has heated tiling which makes the cabin even more comfortable and cozy. In the back of the house you'll see there is plenty of storage space for food, items you may have brought with you, and the laundry units available for your use.
Outside you will see a deck with patio furniture that views the water, as well as our hot tub area! We have a lot of deer, and other wild life around the house, all we ask is that you will respect the house and wildlife as if they were your own.

Summary: This perfectly fit our needs for a "decompression vacation". We were secluded enough and surrounded by the peacefully flowing river. Paired with the big wood burning fireplace left us with such a sense of relaxation, we felt rejuvenated enough to go back and face work after the weekend. Still didnt want to leave, but felt better after staying!

Summary: We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back! Managed very well and the process was stress free. You can feel the warmth of family history throughout the home and such a happy place to make your own family memories. We will be back!

Summary: My husband and I make a trip up to this cabin at least once per year and it never disappoints. We enjoy the solitude and quiet away from the bustle of the city. We use the fireplace daily and sit in the living room just watching the river. We will be back soon!

Summary: This is definitely the coolest rental I've ever had. The house was beautiful and very clean. Such a cool property and house with the river wrapping all the way around. The hot tub was very clean and enjoyable. The steam shower was very nice also after completing the Iceman Race. I would definitely recommend this to others, especially in the summer time.

Summary: We enjoyed a lovely week reconnecting with the Boardman after 75 years. Only issue was a very hot cabin on arrival and no easy way to cool it given the 88 °F temps. Called property management twice asking assistance but had to leave word. No one ever returned our calls during our week-long visit. No one at thr emergeny number on their recording had any record of our reservation or the property. Frustrating few hours on arrival. We had to drive into town to buy replacement batteries for the AC remote as the old ones were dead. Owner might want to replace the sreeens on a couple of doors. Very comfortable traditional log cabin with several generations of additions and upgrades. We traveled from southern Oregon for this special visit.

Summary: This place is so awesome. It's tucked away at the back of a private driveway and surrounded by tress and a beautiful river. The interior is super quaint and cozy and the beds are very comfortable. The only thing we found wrong was that the water smelled like a perm. I was as little concerned about it but I read online that it's a safe bacteria that gets in well waters and can cause an odor. Apparently it can be treated easily but maybe the host was not aware of it and therefore hasn't done anything to remedy that. It may be fine when you get there. I'm just making you aware that this minor issue exists. I'd return!

Summary: We had a great stay. Cabin is in great shape for its age and very clean. The sulfur in the water smells funny but we just bought a couple jugs for drinking. The property is very relaxing and feels removed from the world. Occasional Kayakers cursing down the Boardman are fun to watch.

Summary: This place is so pretty! The air conditioning system is not the best so it got a little hot! On two occasions contractors showed up during our stay to work on the property and we were not notified which was disappointing. It was a little hard to get a hold of the property management. Overall, we did enjoy our stay. The cabin and location is worth the “cons”.
