Mayfield House | Boardman River, Firepit, Game Room, Hot tub, Sauna

3 Bedroom House in Mayfield, Traverse City

Slice of River Life is on the Boardman River. The swim spa has been listed as both a pool and a hot tub because it is in between those two. It can fit everyone in your party, and you can swim against the current or just bop around. There are also two hot tub chairs with jets!
Just seven miles from downtown Traverse City, this riverfront home is a retreat off the beaten path but still close enough to get to all the best of Traverse City. The cottage sits on close to five acres (most of it being across the river, for added privacy) along the banks of the Boardman River, a blue-ribbon trout stream with the ability to fly fish right out the front door, or drive about a mile downstream and tube back for a fantastic BBQ.
Sleeps eight with an adjustable king bed upstairs. This room has a private bathroom with shower and soaking bath. Two bedrooms have queen beds. There is a queen sleeper sofa on the main level with a bathroom. The large open kitchen-dining-living area has a magnificent stone gas fireplace. This property provides river frontage, a large swim spa, and an outdoor shower! There is also a game room with a bar, pool table, darts, and TV. The firepit is something to see, beach sand and eight Adirondack chairs surround it for peaceful stargazing! This home even has a professional putting green!
Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, inner-tubing, swimming, fishing, fly fishing, Morel mushrooming, bird watching, or catching a glimpse of a deer or other wildlife in the area! Sixteen miles to Flint Fields for the Horses By the Bay Horse Show in season.
Small dog is allowed with a pet fee

Summary: Had a great stay at this property with my husband and our 2 college-age kids. Unfortunately during our visit in early Aug, it was so hot we didn’t make use of the hot tub, firepit, or the (separate bldg) game room … but thankfully the a/c in the house was fabulous! And we’d love to come back; this place would be *amazing* in fall!Loved watching the butterflies, the birds, and the shallow (thigh high) / CLEAR river flowing by in the early mornings, while sitting with our coffee on the deck. It was pretty amazing at night too, under string lights and stars! (We were hoping to fall asleep to the sound of the river … but a/c won out. On nice nights w/ windows open though, it would be lovely!)Kids also loved tubing (found 5 large tubes in the game room.) We dropped them 2 ish miles up the road at Shumsky’s Canoe Launch, they had a relaxing float down the river for 1 hr 15 min, and they ended the adventure by simply hopping out right at our backyard! SUPER comfortable king bed in master, nice bed linens, nice new kitchen appliances, kitchen had all the basics. Location is a little secluded (house is on a long gravel drive pretty far off main road and it’s about 15 min to downtown TC) … but tonis, the gorgeous setting in nature was totally worth it. Highly recommend!
