They needed a pry bar to get me out !
The house is exactly as described. Kitchen and linens /towels very well stocked. Beds are very comfortable. The host is close to immediately responsive. The hot tub and two separate fire pits worked like a charm. The outdoor shower was so comfortable over two weeks, I never used the indoor shower. A close drive to Traverse city, hiking, kayaking, we didn’t have time to use our bikes, so I can’t comment on that. There were many items for children. This NOT a disclaimer , just a comment… the Boardman River is colder, with a faster current than we anticipated. It did not get in our way, but might be a consideration for a family with small children. If that is a minor concern for you, I would contact the host who is sensitive to young children and I’m confident she would answer you honestly.

About the host

Hosted by Alex and Paul Gutierrez

Host profile image
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.
