Wonderful, private, rural, fully stocked riverside home, yet close to many outdoor activities and still just 15 minutes from Traverse City restaurants and shopping. Great, high-speed internet.
We had a lovely time at the river house. The home was clean and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable! We enjoyed sitting outside in the rocking chairs and going in the hot tub. And it's just a short drive to downtown Traverse City.
Wonderful furnishings great views of the river and wild life such as deer and sweet bunnies
Close to traverse city and all the beautiful lakes and rivers
The property and the house are beautiful. You can sit on the back deck and listen to the tranquil sounds of nature, the birds, and the river, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor deck area with plenty of seating. Interior is just as lovely and has everything you will need. Definitely recommend this house.
We were very happy with our stay. Enjoyed the sound of the river and spacious yard. Very peaceful to sit outside, beautiful view. Check in and checkout very easy also. We would stay again in the future!
The River House is beautiful. Peaceful setting on the river away from town. Plenty of room to be outside. Minor issues were handled by Alex immediately. Alex was just a text away. I loved their story.
Wonderful House with a Beautiful View on the River
The house is beautifully situated and lends itself to spending quality time with family and friends. It’s well appointed and inviting. Communicating w Alex was a breeze and we couldn’t have been happier with the accommodation. Highly recommended if you are going to be in the Traverse City area.
The house exceeded our expectations and had the most beautiful views of the river! A very private little getaway. We would love to come back in the summer!
We enjoyed relaxing at this property. It was the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the area. We loved sitting out near the river and hearing just the sounds of nature.
This was the perfect place to stay during our mini vacation to Michigan. We visited Traverse City, Sleeping Bear, wineries, and more. The house was perfect in between our outings.
Our stay at the River House was wonderful. Our Host was exceptionally helpful. We could not have asked for anything better and will definatyly be a once a year visitor
The property was perfection! It had everything we needed and so many more extras that made having our babies there so nice. We will definitely be staying again!
The VRBO listing is completely accurate - a beautiful, clean home in a peaceful setting on a river. We loved staying here and please, please give the outdoor shower a try. We all loved it, even our most skeptical group member. We never used the interior showers! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Alex for sharing your lovely home!
We had a great stay! Such a great location, secluded but not far from Traverse City. We loved being able to kayak the Boardman River! Kitchen is well stocked, everything was clean and just plain perfect.
We had a great stay. The house was clean and well maintained. After relaxing by the river, it was hard to go back home.

Great experience and property!
We had an amazing stay here! They exceeded our expectations! Property was very clean, they had everything in the house we needed, great backyard! Owners were very responsive, we would love to come back here.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Alex was very helpful with recommendations of things to do in the area with my one year old daughter. The location was great too...quiet, but close to all the activities we wanted to do in Traverse City. The hot tub and fire table were wonderful to end each night too!
we love staying here. far enough away from town to feel peaceful and secluded but close enough for day or night trips out. love being on the boardman. clean bright and comfortable.
Property was just as described, very clean and had everything we needed. We had a great time just hanging out and enjoying the view and the hot tub! Check in and out was easy and Alex was easy to communicate with. No issues, we would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Alex and Paul Gutierrez
My parents bought this house in 1999 when I was in middle school. I grew up spending my entire summers at this house making so many memories! This house has become the landscape for many family gatherings, baby and wedding showers, and even my sisters wedding. I can't even express how much this property means to us! When the opportunity came for my husband and I to purchase the property from my parents we had to take it, and now we're so happy this house is still in our family!
Why they chose this property
This house was in my family for over 20 years when my husband and I bought it. We have spent countless hours kayaking, tubing, roasting marshmallows and making great memories on this beautiful river.
What makes this property unique
We love the peace and quiet of this location. We are at the end of a two track road so there is no traffic to worry about. We enjoy sitting on our deck watching the ducks, herons, deer, rabbits and many other kinds of wildlife. The river is very easily accessed off of our lawn for kayaking, tubing, fishing or swimming.
