2 Bedroom Cabin in Mayfield, Traverse City

Shadowland River Lodge is located approx. 12 miles South East of downtown Traverse City. It is nestled on 33 acres of private land with 650 feet of frontage along the Boardman River. The original log home structure was built in 1929 and in later years added on to including a kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, walk-in closet, utility room, and a riverside main bedroom.
Shadowland River Lodge currently sleeps up to 6 guests with a queen bed in the one “ conventional “ bedroom with direct river views. (red bedspread) A set of “twin” size bunk beds are in the main room (red checkered) of the cabin structure along with a “double” size futon. (Cream w/ multi-color stripes)
The property has become a retreat for those looking to be a little off the beaten path of the busy hustle and bustle of Traverse City. Step back in time and enjoy the privacy and sense of nature that envelops this log home along the Boardman River. Also enjoy endless amounts of free firewood for use inside and out!
We are dog friendly - this means all dogs! (Sorry, we only allow dogs, no cats, etc.) There is no size limit. We love to have guests experience Shadowland River Lodge with their K9 family members! We see no need to charge a pet fee, so there isn’t one!

Summary: Lovely stay again. It is so obvious how much pride Jason and Nicole have in sharing this remarkable cabin. Hot tub is a great addition and each year gets better and our trip gets longer. Cabin has all you can ask for and amenities you don’t expect, paper goods, soap, toiletries, trash bags, laundry detergent. They have it all covered. And…the river.. so peaceful and relaxing. You feel as though you’ve left it all behind. I’ve never seen my dog and husband so happy!
