About this property

Situated about one half mile off of the main road on a 12 acre parcel of land is River Bend Cottage - your home away from home. Nestled between the river and the base of the hills in the Boardman River Valley, this cozy cottage is located in as Feng Shui and pristine a place as it gets. Let the sounds of the nearby streams carry your stress away. Feel the rejuvenating energy that only nature can provide, and the peace that comes with being completely surrounded by state forest. When you are ready to venture into downtown Traverse City, it's a leisurely 10-15 minute drive.

Would Stay Again

We had a girls weekend here the past summer, and this place was great for it. It was spacious and clean, and the area was very private and quiet. The outdoor space and hot tub were great additions. Would stay here again!

Wedding Retreat

We needed a place to stay while celebrating our daughter's wedding nearby. I found the River Bend Cottage on VRBO. It was so perfect for me and my family to all be in the same house instead of multiple hotel rooms. The cottage is cozy and quaint and the owners made check in very simple. We could definitely see ourselves coming back!

Girls trip

I do have to admit I was a bit nervous at first because it was like a cabin per se, but such a beautiful place it was in a beautiful location. Very peaceful and enjoyable yes I would recommend this place. And let me is not a cabin it is much more.
