Cozy Cottage on Boardman River. Great location for fishing with a fire pit.

Cozy Cottage on Boardman River. Great location for fishing with a fire pit.

10/10 Excellent
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a lovely home nestled in the woods where the architecture of the home itself (clerestory and skylight windows throughout) made it feel like we were immersed in nature itself for the entire stay. The wrap around porch was also a winderful place to sit, eat and enjoy the forest. The property is near a state forest campground so the surroundings were beautifully remote feeling with uninterrupted trees and the rustic walkway to the Boardman river was nice. We would highly recommend as a quiet retreat from hectic lives and busy schedules. The house had everything needed for a comfortable stay."

"This property is rustic but is described as such, so if you are looking for the four seasons, don’t come here and then complain. It is a WONDERFUL rustic cabin with so much room to roam on trails through the woods and around the lakes. There are lots of fish in the lake and wildlife in the woods. Everything is very comfortable. Highly recommend."
