About this property

Shadowland River Lodge on Boardman River - Pet Friendly - Acreage - Private

  • 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 ā€œ conventional ā€œ bedroom with direct river views. (red bedspread) A set of ā€œtwinā€ size bunk beds are in the main room (red checkered) of the cabin structure along with a ā€œdoubleā€ 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!
